However, if there is some mild separation of the abdominal muscles (around 2 fingers) and the connective tissue between the muscles feels firm then using a graded and progressive core exercise programme is recommended. Just always look out for symptoms and stop any exercise where you see a bulging up or dropping down of the tissues down the centre of the tummy or experience pain.

If you experience incontinence day to day, but not during low intensity exercise then you can use this guide. We recommend you monitor for any incontinence during the programme, and modify or stop certain exercises if they cause symptoms.

If you have symptoms of prolapse it is advised you seek assessment before commencing any exercise programme as it is important to understand the type and grade of prolapse, as well as severity of symptoms. You can absolutely exercise with a prolapse but it is best that this journey is guided by a pelvic health physiotherapist.
