Your first visit

What all patients can expect:

  • I will listen to your story, perform a comprehensive full body evaluation, and deliver treatment on day one 

  • Questions during the evaluation will be about the nature, origin and progression of your symptoms, your medical history, and goals for physical therapy.  

  • The physical exam will include range of motion, strength, and functional testing, as well as a soft tissue assessment 

  • You’ll receive instruction on exercises you can do at home, education on postural retraining, and manual therapy to immediately start your healing process 

Pelvic floor patients can also expect: 

  • Questions about urinary, bowel, and sexual function to give a full picture of the current state of your pelvic floor 

  • A physical exam of the hips, abdominals and lumbopelvic spine including range of motion, strength, and functional testing as well as a soft tissue assessment 

  • A physical exam of the pelvic floor 

    • This includes an external and internal exam that I am specially certified to perform in order to assess the resting tone, strength, endurance and coordination of your pelvic floor muscles to allow for proper treatment 

    • This will be discussed in detail with you during the session and will only be performed to the extent that is tolerated by your pain and comfort level
