What exercises help strengthen prolapse?

Pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME), often called Kegels, are the most effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor and help manage prolapse symptoms. Other gentle exercises, such as Pilates, yoga, and low-impact core work, can also support pelvic health when done with proper technique.

Clinical Context

Pelvic floor muscle training should be a core part of prolapse management for all women. A tailored exercise plan is best developed with professional support, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE and NHS recommend PFME as first-line for prolapse, supported by high-level evidence and clinical trials.
