What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit is 60 minutes long so we can spend time getting to know you and your medical history, do a physical exam, and collaborate on your treatment plan.
First, we will take a comprehensive medical history, including your general medical background, birth history (if applicable), bowel, bladder, etc. and any other factors that may affect your function and return to activities.
We’ll then complete a respectful, patient-centric physical exam. The physical exam helps us adequately identify contributing factors to your symptoms. If you need an internal pelvic floor exam, we’ll use a single gloved finger without a speculum to assess what’s happening at each of the muscles and structures within the pelvic floor.
From here, we collaborate with you to develop your personalized treatment plan. We craft it to address the root cause of your symptoms, your body, and your ultimate goal for physical therapy. We also connect and collaborate with other providers, caretakers, and professionals as needed to assist in your healing journeys.
We’ll kick off treatment right away with exercises, hands-on manual therapy, or suggestions for lifestyle changes so that we can get you on the path of freedom from your symptoms!
