PELVIC ORGAN

PROLAPSE

Pelvic organ prolapse affects 80% of patients after childbirth, causing muscle weakening and a range of pelvic floor dysfunctions. With targeted pelvic floor therapy, these muscles can be strengthened, symptoms relieved, and quality of life significantly improved.

Pelvic Care

Pelvic organ prolapse is a common yet often misunderstood condition affecting many individuals, particularly women. At Rise Above, we believe in empowering individuals with knowledge and resources to better understand and manage their pelvic health. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken, causing one or more pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, to descend or bulge into the vaginal canal. This can lead to discomfort, pressure, urinary or bowel symptoms, and even impact sexual function. Our dedicated section on pelvic organ prolapse aims to provide comprehensive information, practical tips, and supportive resources to help you navigate this condition with confidence. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, exploring treatment options, or seeking ways to manage symptoms, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What Our Patients Say

Cheryl Plumbush

I have recommended Rise Above PT to all my friends. I started using Dr. Gerges 3 months post partum and it has been such a game changer!

Jackie Megariotis

The best thing I could have done for myself during my pregnancy was doing pelvic floor therapy. Not only was I relieved of my hip and pelvic discomfort (especially as I got further a long in my pregnancy) but as someone going through pregnancy for the first time, I also learned birthing and breathing techniques to prepare for labor. Would highly recommend rise above to family and friends.

Scarlett Sieber-Wrighton

Dr Gerges is amazing! A total game changer. She has the most incredible energy about her and helped alleviate a ridiculous amount of pain that was built up from my first birth that came up during my second pregnancy. I would highly recommend her!

Jess Penesso

Highly recommend Dr. Gerges for prenatal care to feel great during pregnancy & prepare for delivery! I started going in the second trimester after a friend recommended it to me. Through our sessions, I stayed active & was able to lift weights, practice yoga & take long walks up until I delivered at 40+ weeks. I'm a yoga teacher & I was also able to teach up to 35 weeks. Anytime I had pain, Dr. Gerges helped me correct it right away even in between sessions via messaging. I also took the child birth class and it had great information to prep for delivery. My labor & delivery was a great experience even though it wasn't what I expected. It was very fast with no time for an epidural. I had never considered not having an epidural going into the birth but with the techniques I had learned I was able to manage it & feel empowered through the process. The best part was that the pushing phase of birth was only 3 pushes & under 5 minutes. I used the position & breathing that I had practiced with Dr. Gerges & couldn't have asked for a quicker delivery. Looking forward to getting back to stronger than I was before pregnancy as we start to work together postpartum!

I had ongoing hip and pelvic floor issues and put off PT for years. Don't do that! You don't have to go through life in pain or in fear of sneezing. Dr. Gerges changed my life in just a few weeks. I went from being unable to sit on the floor and play with my children to being able to move better than I had in years. It was really empowering to learn why I felt the way I did and what I could do to fix it. Best of all, Dr. Gerges taught me what to do moving forward if I have any issues. I highly recommend Rise Above!

Marina Radvinsky

Dr. Gerges has helped my pain tremendously. I came in with limited movement due to my tail bone pain and by helping get my body back in alignment she helped me regain my movement and life. She also gave me exercises to work on at home in case I flare up between visits. She fixes me - every time I leave the office I feel like a new person. I wish I knew she was around when I was pregnant and not just afterward. She should be a staple for all pregnancies, pre and post partum. Thank you Dr.!

Kaitlyn Saar

Dr. Gerges transformed my pregnancy! I went from having hip and back pain in my second trimester to now no hip and back pain as I in my last week of pregnancy. I always feel so much better after our appointments, and the exercises she's given me to do at home have really helped. Highly recommend

Sylvia Labib

I came to Dr. Gerges to help me with Diastasis Recti that I have been struggling with for years despite all my efforts. Ever since my first visit she has been extraordinary in her care and diligence in explaining my rib and pelvic dysfunction. She has gone even further to help diagnose and treat my hip and lower back issues that were related to my pelvic floor weakness which I didn't even know was the cause of the pain. Her course of treatment has been direct and specific to my needs and the at home exercises were manageable and clearly reviewed during my time with her. She truly has made me aware of the benefits of a strong pelvic floor and the therapy that is needed, which in my opinion, many women especially after pregnancy should seek! Thank you Dr. Gerges for your exceptional care and passion!

Josephine O'Hagan

I went to Dr. Gerges for knee pain and she fixed that and more in just a few short weeks. She educated me on ways to move safely in my every day life to avoid a repeat injury and I feel better than I have in years. Highly recommend!

Melissa Feldman

Dr. Gerges provides top notch care, she is very knowledgeable and her treatments work! I highly recommend Rise above PT! Now my husbands goes for PT as well. I can’t say enough about how great my experience has been.
