Active and POP website goes life
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition, affecting about one in two women. Fit, active women too! Mothers, sisters, wives, partners, our daughters. It affects our family, work and social life. And yet, due it’s location in the body, an intimate area, it is not talked about! Over the last 12 months, I’ve been in contact with a range of pelvic physio specialists, as well as active women around New Zealand who have experienced a prolapse. The response was overwhelming; women told their stories, shared their experiences, and offered advice on something they thought would never happen to them. The result of our collaboration is the Active and POP website: activeandpop.org.nz Together, we talk about POP to raise awareness and remove the stigma. We provide links to helpful resources. Most importantly, we want women to know that they are not alone and that they can live an active life again! Happy tramping!
