No! You do not need a referral from a physician, you can come see us directly! Most of our patients find us on their own, or through word of mouth referral!
All visits are one hour long, working 1:1 with your physical therapist. We value your time, and dedicate the full hour to focus on working towards your goals! Being able to provide personalized care is a priority to us, and you will never be passed off to a tech or assistant.
Your first visit will be an initial evaluation, and will be a full hour. First your therapist will listen to what's bothering you and the history of your symptoms, and your goals for what you want to achieve with therapy.
Next your therapist will do a full body evaluation - we will look at how your body moves with daily tasks, strength, mobility. With your consent, we may also do a pelvic floor assessment so we can see how the pelvic floor is involved with your symptoms. We believe that the whole body is involved, we treat head to toe!
You and your therapist will come up with an action plan that will work for you, based on the findings of your evaluation. You will leave with an understanding of your condition and a plan to achieve your goals!
This depends on your condition and your needs. Your body and your case are unique! Generally speaking, the sooner you get started, the less time you will spend in therapy. We typically see patients weekly so you can start feeling improvement early on, and then taper from there. You can expect to start feeling some improvement within 3-5 visits! You and your therapist will come up with an action plan for your therapy at your initial evaluation.
You can start pelvic floor PT at any point during pregnancy, but the earlier, the better—we recommend starting in the early second trimester if you're feeling great, or earlier if you're experiencing any symptoms. If you're dealing with back pain, hip discomfort, or leaks when you sneeze, PT can help keep those symptoms from getting worse and lasting after birth. Even if you’re feeling great, working with a pelvic floor therapist can help you stay strong, learn how to support your core and posture, and prepare your body for birth and recovery. Think of it as one more way to take care of yourself during pregnancy!
Yes! We are a family-friendly environment. Babies and kids are 100% welcome in the clinic. We want moms to get the care they need, when they need it the most!
