From Kegels to Vacuum: Ultrasound Shows the Difference in Pelvic Organ Support

- Shared by Dr. Becky Keller, Pelvic Floor PT

Can Hypopressives Help with Bladder Prolapse?

According to Dr. Becky Keller, the answer is yes — and now she’s proving it with ultrasound.

Using the EagleView™ Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner, Dr. Keller visually demonstrated the difference in organ lift between a traditional Kegel and a hypopressive vacuum maneuver. The result? A clear, measurable pelvic floor elevation on real-time ultrasound.

Why this Matters?

✅ Hypopressives backed by imaging — Not just felt, but seen
✅ Hope for patients failed by standard PF exercises
✅ Validated changes in organ position and fascial response
✅ A teaching tool for professionals learning Low Pressure Fitness (LPF)

Dr. Keller emphasizes that while no single technique is a cure-all, hypopressives combined with proper alignment, breathing, and movement strategies show consistent clinical value — and ultrasound makes the invisible, visible.
