Stop Suffering in Silence: Effective Relief for Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Holland, Michigan

Pelvic organ prolapse isn’t just uncomfortable—it can disrupt your daily life in ways you never expected. If you’re dealing with bladder leaks, painful intimacy, constipation, or that relentless “falling out” feeling, you’re not alone. One in four women will experience pelvic organ prolapse at some point. Yet, most suffer in silence, unsure where to turn for relief.

Here’s the good news: pelvic floor physical therapy at Ruther Health and Wellness in Holland, Michigan offers a proven, non-invasive solution to restore strength, control, and comfort.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Holland, Michigan: Why It Happens and How to Fix It

Your pelvic floor muscles act as a natural support system for your bladder, uterus, and rectum. But over time, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or aging can weaken this support, causing organs to shift downward and create uncomfortable symptoms, including:

  • Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis
  • A bulging sensation or visible protrusion at the vaginal opening
  • Urinary leakage or difficulty urinating
  • Painful intercourse or reduced sexual sensation
  • Chronic constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
  • The problem won’t fix itself—and ignoring it can make symptoms worse.

But you don’t have to live with discomfort. Pelvic floor therapy is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your body’s natural support system and restore control.

Why Pelvic Floor Therapy is a Game-Changer for Prolapse

At Ruther Health and Wellness, our expert therapists specialize in restoring strength, function, and confidence through pelvic floor physical therapy. This isn’t just about temporary relief—it’s about helping you take control of your body again.

How It Works:

  • We create a customized treatment plan using advanced techniques like:
  • Biofeedback training to retrain weakened muscles
  • Soft tissue mobilization to release tension and improve circulation
  • Kegel exercises (done correctly!) for targeted muscle strengthening
  • Electrical stimulation to improve neuromuscular control
  • Behavioral and movement coaching to support daily function

These methods work together to lift, support, and restore your pelvic organs naturally—helping reduce symptoms, prevent worsening prolapse, and keep you out of surgery.

What to Expect During Your Therapy Sessions

Pelvic floor therapy is about giving you control—not just treating symptoms. Your sessions will focus on education, movement training, and hands-on techniques to help you build strength, function, and confidence.

Each 60-90 minute session includes:

  1. External Soft Tissue Work
    Your therapist will release tension and improve mobility in your hips, abdomen, back, and pelvic region to prepare your body for strengthening.
  2. Biofeedback Training
    Using real-time feedback, you’ll learn how to properly engage and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles—even if they’ve been inactive for years.
  3. Pelvic Floor Exercises
    Personalized Kegel training, core work, and breath techniques help rebuild stability and endurance.
  4. Internal Manual Therapy (Optional)
    For deeper relief, some patients opt for gentle internal techniques to release tightness and improve muscle coordination. This is always optional—you’re in control.
  5. Lifestyle & Movement Coaching
    Your therapist will guide you through posture corrections, behavioral strategies, and daily adjustments to support your recovery long-term.

Every session is customized to your comfort level—and you’re always in control of the process.

Kelly is a phenomenal physical therapist. I have referred so many friends & family to her & they love her as well! Her knowledge of women’s health, the pelvic floor and how everything in the body is connected is invaluable. She’s helped me with IC, plantar fasciitis, back pain, foot pain, knee pain & has given lots of advice on exactly what to do (and what not to do!) during my workouts. I love that she explains the why & how during each visit so it makes sense. She’s easy to talk to and I always look forward to my visits. She treats the whole person, provides quality care and is invested in her patients! Definitely go see her!

I’m so pleased with the results of my appt with Kelly. When I arrived I had limited range of motion, but after testing and performing a few exercises I was able to move significantly better. In addition we discussed changes in form for several weight lifting exercises, to target the correct muscles, that I feel will really improve my workouts.
