Exercise & Sports with a Prolapse: One Physio’s Postnatal Journey, with Rosie Purdue
What happens when you're a women’s health physio and you’re diagnosed with a prolapse?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by the lovely Rosie Purdue of Hatched House—physio, mum of two, and hockey player—who shares her deeply personal journey of recovery, trial and error, and reclaiming her body after prolapse and pelvic pain.
Together we unpack what it’s really like to return to sport while managing prolapse symptoms—and how emotional recovery plays just as big a role as the physical.
In this episode we cover:
- Rosie’s personal experience with prolapse after a vaginal birth
- Managing pain from a coccyx fracture and its impact on pelvic floor recovery
- The emotional toll of prolapse—even as a physiotherapist
- Common prolapse symptoms: incomplete bowel emptying, stress incontinence, vaginal bulge
- How Rosie uses tools like splinting, Contiform, and pessaries
- The bother scale and what “worsening” symptoms really means
- Navigating sex, sport, and confidence after diagnosis
- How to know if surgery might be right for you—and when to seek a second opinion
- The difference between structural vs muscular recovery
- Encouragement for new mums navigating early prolapse symptoms
