The first appointment in pelvic floor physical therapy can be nerve-wracking, especially if you don’t know what to expect! In our first appointment:

  • We sit down and focus on your goals and the history of the issue you’re seeking to resolve.

  • There is a physical assessment where we look at your whole person and help identify areas that might be contributing to your symptoms.

  • We develop the plan of care with you, guided by our suggestions, so you can decide how to best reach your goals.

  • In some cases, the first appointment may or may not include a pelvic floor muscle examination (external, internal, or both) where we visualize the pelvic floor to help make and guide a treatment plan. This will always be discussed first, and completely under your control and decision-making.

FAQ:

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.

The intake paperwork is available to you once your initial evaluation is booked. It is all online and should take about 20-30 minutes to complete.

  • 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.​
