can pelvic floor therapy help me?

what to expect

  • Two women sitting at a table by a large window, engaged in conversation. One woman has long brown hair and is wearing a beige top. The other woman has curly black hair, glasses, and is wearing a dark blue dress.

    initial evaluation

    I like to think of the initial evaluation as a conversation. This is our opportunity to get to know each other and tune the treatment plan to your specific needs.

    We move at your pace and consent is an ongoing process throughout.

    The INITIAL EVALUATION may include:

    - intake conversation

    - habit assessment

    - movement and posture evaluation

    - assessment of fascial structures

    - pelvic floor assessment (via internal and/or external techniques)

    - actionable goal setting

  • A woman practicing yoga in a studio, performing a forward bend pose on a yoga mat.

    treatment sessions

    Treatment sessions are tailored to your goals and needs. Primarily, sessions will include any of the following: movement, reflection, routine planning, education on your body, practice with daily activities to promote function, and hands on manual therapy.

    The purpose of hands on manual therapy techniques are to improve fascial gliding and scar mobility, increase blood flow to a certain region, and overall reduce pain.

    Typical therapeutic services listed via the superbill are: therapeutic activity, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and neuromuscular re-education.

    Each client will receive “homework” related to her specific treatment plan. We will review and adapt session to session, but the work between sessions is where the magic happens.

    *virtual sessions are available on a case to case basis after an establishment of a treatment plan and discussion with client and therapist
