PELVIC HEALTH
Pelvic health focuses on how this specialized physical therapy can aid in resolving pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common problem that often goes undiagnosed. Our physical therapists will evaluate and treat any joint dysfunction, muscle tightness, muscle weakness or imbalance or nerve involvement that is affecting the function of the pelvic floor.
WHAT IS PELVIC HEALTH?
Pelvic health relates to the function or dysfunction of the pelvic floor, which includes muscles in the lower abdomen, pelvis, and perineum. These muscles form a sling and assist in supporting the abdominal and pelvic organs, as well as help bladder and bowel control and sexual activity.

WHAT TO EXPECT
When To Arrive
On average, a patient’s first visit lasts about one hour. We ask that patients arrive 15 minutes early to sign-in and complete paperwork.
What To Bring
On your first visit, you’ll need to bring your physician referral or prescription (if needed), your insurance card, your primary registration forms, your ID or driver’s license and your co-payment (as applicable).
Your First Visit
Our office managers will help you through completing the registration and insurance process, then you will begin your evaluation with a therapist. It is helpful to know your key past medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Your movement, strength, coordination, and other factors will be evaluated before our therapist discusses with you their recommendation and prepares a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Plan
Evaluation findings will be shared with your referring physician or preferred medical expert, and the office managers will help you plan your series of visits based on the quantity and frequency determined by your therapist. Your subsequent visits will focus on treatment that is based on your diagnosis and individualized goals.
