Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy / Women's Health
What to Expect as a Valued Patient
All of our pelvic health patients can expect a private 1 on 1 evaluation where our therapist will discuss with you the anatomy of the abdominal/pelvic region, with use of 3D software to show you the connection between your symptoms and the anatomy.
We will perform special testing to validate the possible source of pain/symptoms, review findings, and establish a plan of care to specifically meet your goals.
Internal pelvic floor assessment may be performed as deemed appropriate and only with patient consent. This allows for a more thorough assessment in diagnosing symptoms and providing feedback.
