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
