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.

  • 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.​
