Why Choose Halo Physiotherapy for Your Pessary Fitting?
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common condition that affects many women, yet it often goes undiagnosed and untreated due to stigma or lack of awareness. Pessary’s are an effective way to manage your POP and prevent surgery. At Halo Physiotherapy, we provide a specialist pessary fitting service, helping women regain confidence and comfort in their daily lives and keep them active.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of POP such as; vaginal heaviness, discomfort in the lower tummy and pelvic area, or a sensation of something “falling down”, or maybe difficulty emptying your bowels, or leaking wee, then a pessary might be the right solution for you. But why choose Halo Physiotherapy for your pessary fitting?
What is a Pessary and How Can It Help?
A pessary is a small, medical-grade device inserted into the vagina to support weakened pelvic tissues. It works much like a sports bra — providing gentle but effective support where needed. At Halo Physiotherapy, we offer bespoke pessary fittings that ensure the right fit and comfort level for your specific needs. We only fit silicone pessaries which are much softer, reducing risk of complications and enable self management.
Pessaries can be used for:
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) – to support the pelvic organs; the bladder, bowel, and uterus.
Postpartum support – aiding in vaginal tissue recovery after childbirth.
Active lifestyles – providing extra support during exercise or heavy lifting or other activities you are symptomatic.
Why Choose Halo Physiotherapy?
Specialist Care – Our expert pelvic health physiotherapists specialise in pessary fittings, ensuring a personalised and comprehensive approach.
Holistic Assessment – Unlike a standard medical fitting, our service assesses your whole body function, including posture analysis, breathing dynamics, pelvic and hip muscle strength in particular, and lifestyle habits such as emptying your bowels to ensure optimal outcomes.
Bespoke Fittings – We take precise measurements and tailor your pessary size to ensure maximum comfort. We provide guidance on self-management or schedule regular check-ups for those unable to remove and clean their pessary themselves.
Ongoing Support – We provide follow-up care, education, and adjustments, ensuring your pessary remains comfortable and effective over time, and refer you back to your GP or other members of the Multi Disciplinary Team as indicated.
