Pelvic floor physical therapy questions, answered

In Florida you can see a physical therapist directly without a physician referral for an initial period of care. If ongoing treatment is needed, we will coordinate with your OB-GYN, midwife, or primary care provider. Many patients are referred by their providers, but it is not required to get started.

Your initial evaluation is 45 minutes, one-on-one. We start by talking through your history, symptoms, and goals. Then we assess posture, breathing, hip and core strength, and movement. With your consent, this may include an external or internal pelvic floor assessment. You leave with a clear picture of what is going on and a plan.

No. An internal assessment gives the most direct information about the pelvic floor muscles, but it is always optional and always your choice. There is a great deal we can evaluate and treat externally, and we will never move faster than you are comfortable with.

Comfortable clothing you can move in, like leggings or athletic wear. We will be assessing how you breathe, bend, squat, and move.

It depends on your goals and how long you have had symptoms. Many patients see meaningful change within the first few visits and complete a plan of care over several weeks to a few months. We reassess regularly, and the goal is always to get you independent, not to keep you coming back indefinitely.

Absolutely. Babies are always welcome. We will work around feedings and naps as needed.

Not at all. Pelvic floor concerns can be treated at any age and any stage, whether your symptoms started after a birth decades ago, with menopause, or for reasons unrelated to pregnancy entirely.

Yes. Pelvic pain, urgency, leaking, constipation, tailbone pain, and painful intimacy affect women regardless of whether they have had children. You are welcome here.

We do not bill insurance directly. Staying independent of insurance is what makes private, one-on-one 45-minute visits possible. You pay at each visit and receive an itemized superbill to submit to your plan for any out-of-network reimbursement it offers. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.

The practice is located in Delray Beach, Florida, and serves patients from Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, and across Palm Beach County. Full address and parking details are provided when you book.

Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule so the time can be offered to another patient. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows are charged 50% of the session fee.
