What happens during treatment?

Visits start with your provider getting a full picture of your medical history from your. Our physical therapists then use a physical exam to assess the root cause of your symptoms. This can include an internal physical exam – something our physical therapists are specially trained to conduct. Internal exams are always done with respect and to your comfort level, with open communication throughout the process. Our physical therapists don’t use a speculum, just one gloved finger to get an idea of what’s happening in each layer of the pelvic floor muscles.

With your medical history and physical exam complete, you and your physical therapist coordinate on a personalized plan of care. It’s customized to the root cause of your symptoms, your body, and your goals. We also connect and collaborate with other providers, caretakers, and professionals as needed to assist in your healing journeys.

The pelvic floor muscles don’t work in insolation, so we take a holistic, full-body approach to your treatment plan. As much as you’d like, we can incorporate lifestyle factors into your care. We pull from a variety of treatment techniques to build our patient care plans: neural manipulation, visceral manipulation, manual therapy, Pilates movements, and dry needling, to name a few.
