FAQs

You can expect a combination of interventions, ranging from manual therapy to muscle re-education, behavioral training, strengthening and functional training. We attempt to match the treatment plans to meet your individual needs, so not everyone does the same exercises or comes at the same frequency. Many treatments involve the spine, extremities, abdomen and pelvis. We are trained in specialized skills including trigger point dry needling, Pilates-based exercise and Redcord Neurac.

Yes! Physical Therapists who specialize in pelvic health are trained to examine the pelvis from the inside out. This is important because the pelvic floor muscles and deep hip rotators can only be palpated internally and often pelvic and hip pain is associated with myofascial dysfunction in these muscles. We can also properly assess muscle activation, strength and endurance as well as muscle relaxation through internal palpation.

Our pelvic floor therapists take a whole-body approach to treating the pelvis. This includes a full examination, including an intra-vaginal and/or intra-rectal examination of musculoskeletal structures.

We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks after childbirth before scheduling a post-partum evaluation. There are always situations that require referral sooner or later. We require clearance from your Ob/Gyn before starting or resuming an exercise program.
