My First Visit
Your first pelvic floor physical therapy appointment can feel nerve-wracking, especially if you do not know what to expect. This page walks you through exactly how to prepare, what we do in the first session, and how we make the experience comfortable, respectful, and clear.
INTAKE PAPERWORK
Completing your Intake Paperwork
Please complete your intake forms before your first visit, preferably two business days before your appointment. This allows your physical therapist to review your history ahead of time so your first session is efficient and focused on what matters most to you.
To receive your forms, click the link to request an appointment. Your forms will be emailed to you. Once completed, they will be sent directly to your physical therapist through our secure process.
If you are unable to complete your paperwork ahead of time, arrive 30 minutes early to complete it in office.
Our first appointment is designed to give you clarity. We start by listening, then assess what is contributing to your symptoms, and finish with a plan you can follow.
What to Expect at Your First Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Appointment
We start with your story
We discuss your symptoms, goals, medical history, and how your symptoms impact your daily life. You can share as much as you are comfortable sharing.
If a pelvic floor muscle assessment is appropriate, we explain what it involves first. Consent is always required. Your comfort leads the process, and you can decline any part of the assessment at any time.
Pelvic floor assessment when appropriate
Whole-body assessment
Pelvic health is connected to breathing, posture, hips, low back, and core. We assess movement, alignment, coordination, and strength to understand what is driving your symptoms.
You leave with a plan
Before you leave, you will understand what we found, what it means, and what we recommend next. We will outline a plan of care and the first steps you can begin right away.
WHAT PELVIC HEALTH
PHYSICAL THERAPY IS
Pelvic health physical therapy treats conditions related to the muscles and connective tissue inside the pelvis, which can affect bladder function, bowel function, breathing, posture, core stability, and pain. Treatment may include manual therapy, neuromuscular retraining, therapeutic exercise, and behavioral strategies guided by a specially trained physical therapist.
