What To Expect On The First Visit
A patient’s first visit with a pelvic floor physical therapist will be an evaluation of their current condition and related issues. The evaluation process will include a review of the patient’s medical history and questions about various behaviors to gain thorough knowledge of current problems, which may be contributing to symptoms. The first visit may also include an examination of the lumbar spine, sacral spine, and an external and internal examination of the pelvic floor and associated musculature. We take pride in ensuring a holistic, private, confidential and stress-free approach to treating pelvic floor dysfunction.
