FAQ

Do I need a referral to see you?

You do not need a physician referral to see a therapist. However, there are some conditions where you will need to be cleared by your medical provider prior to receiving treatment.

Is it covered by my insurance?

All of our services are covered under your out-of-network physical therapy benefits. We will give you a detailed superbill receipt you can send to your insurance (if you choose) so they can reimbure you directly.

What should I expect during my first visit?

You will be welcomed by our team as soon as you arrive and will head into a private treatment room with your physical therapist. You will be able to share your story, symptoms and goals without feeling rushed. You will get a whole body evaluation, once the exam is finished, we will discuss findings and formulate a plan of care. Home exercises are typically given to perform between visits. Subsequent visits vary depending on the initial exam findings and plan of care.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in as well as loose clothing to be able to expose the body part being assessed/treated.

Should I be doing Kegels? I have been doing them and my symptoms have not resolved!

Many individuals have tried Kegels in the past in efforts to relieve their symptoms without success. We have found that often times, Kegels are actually not what an individual needs to see results. A person with high tone pelvic floor can worsen their symptoms with Kegels. It is always best to see a pelvic floor therapist prior to initiating Kegels because there might be other treatments warranted instead such as managing intra-abdominal pressure, addressing postural imbalances, improving general strength and regulating breath patterns.

What are the benefits of Pelvic Therapy and Pilates after childbirth?

After delivery, your body is recovering and it takes time to adjust to a new normal. While some women return to physical activity without any difficulty, orthopedic and pelvic floor issues that arise during pregnancy and towards the initial postpartum phase do not resolve on their own. It is best to be cleared by your medical provider as well as get assessed by a pelvic therapist for safe return to function as well as address any orthopedic/pelvic floor symptoms that persist.

There is a wide variety listed below but not limited to that can be addressed with pelvic floor therapy.
