We're so sorry to hear this was your last experience with pelvic floor therapy. During your first appointment, we will take time to listen to your needs, goals, and concerns. Throughout treatment, we will reassess your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as necessary. This ensures you know exactly what to expect, how your body is responding to treatment, and what the next step options are for future visits. We respect your time and financial investment in physical therapy and prioritize your confidence in the care we provide.

The pelvic floor muscles sit within the body, so to properly assess and effectively treat these muscles, we often recommend interval exam and treatment. Before we proceed, we will explain exactly what we will do and what you can expect. We only do this type of treatment after informed consent. We can still make treatment progress isa you are not comfortable with internal work.

We will not perform internal exams and treatment in the following situations: you are less than 6-weeks postpartum, you are under the age of 18 years old, you have an active infection, or you're not comfortable with it. Please be honest with your preference.

Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account cards are great ways to pay for your care with us! You can change your method of payment at any time. We will always send a payment receipt to your email after each visit for your records.

You do not need a provider referral to setup an appointment for treatment at our office.

If you would like to, you can have your provider/s fax us any additional information or notes you want to share with us. This is optional and not necessary.
