Organ Prolapse and Myofascial Release

One of the many things I love about my work is the opportunity to interact with and treat a very wide variety of conditions. If I dealt with nothing but low back pain all day/every day, I would be bored rather quickly. Women’s health issues have always been a strong part of my practice, including pelvic organ prolapse. I recently came to know Sherry Palm, who heads a wonderful non-profit organization called the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support, Inc.  (APOPS). Sherrie acknowledges the benefit of myofascial release in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and even provides a list of MFR therapists on the website. Also, she has written a book, titled “Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic”. Myofascial release has the ability to address issues of tightness within the abdomen and pelvis which can lead to organ prolapse.

Please check out the APOPS website. There is a huge amount of information there that may benefit you or your clients.
