This allows for your pelvic therapist to review your intake documentation before your arrival, assuring that your first visit is as efficient as possible. If you do not fill out the paperwork beforehand, we require that you arrive at your first appointment 30 minutes early. We strongly suggest filling out your paperwork before your scheduled visit - this will ensure that your physical therapist is as prepared as possible. The intake paperwork is available for download under the tab 'Intake Paperwork'. It is all online and should take about 20-30 minutes.

  • This is completely dependent on the type of plan of care that your physical therapist will create for you. On average, treatment plans last anywhere between 6 weeks to six months.

  • Your period in no way impacts the ability to have a comprehensive exam. Tampons should be removed during the session. Menstrual cups sit higher up towards the cervix so they do not get in the way. Periods are a part of being a healthy human. You only need to reschedule if you want to for your comfort.​
