Women’s Health FAQ
Do I have to have symptoms to see physical therapy in pregnancy?
No! We believe in preventative care and changing the model of PT as a routine thing (think “I go to the dentist twice a year even when my teeth don’t hurt”).
Should I see a PT while I’m pregnant or wait until postpartum?
We love to see pregnant women! Early intervention is key for preventing the common dysfunctions from happening (incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti, pelvic pain). We help women learn how to manage their growing body and change or modify physical activity. We also help women learn positions and techniques to aid in an optimal birth and minimize tearing and trauma to their body.
When should I see a PT vs a Chiropractor during pregnancy?
Either can be great, and they can be great together! We both have different specialties and work closely with a few trusted chiropractors.
I’m 45 and done having kids, is it too late to see a PT?
Never! We love helping women in midlife after they are done having kids. Learning to manage any pelvic floor symptoms will improve and prevent worsening symptoms as you age. Your body has potentially spent decades learning habitual patterns but they can all be trained with hard work!
I haven’t had kids, is PT right for me?
Definitely, it’s a misconception that you have to have had kids to have symptoms related to your pelvic floor.
How many sessions will I need?
Every individual case is unique and requires its own plan of care. We typically don’t see anyone for less than 6 visits. We also see women for years depending on their goals and chronicity of their symptoms. This is a lifelong journey for a lot of women. Consider us your “Primary Care PT”. There may be seasons of your life that you need more care or less.
Do you offer labor and delivery prep sessions?
YES! We find great value in labor and delivery prep for women and spouses to aid in a better birth experience and teach you ways to manage pain, progress labor and avoid trauma to the pelvic floor muscles.
How should I schedule and how many visits?
We recommend scheduling your initial evaluation and at least 2 additional follow up’s within a 6 week period to aid in the progress of your care and avoid a big gap in care. Our Therapists typically book out 4-6 weeks at a time.
How do I book a package?
Contact us! Our packages cannot be purchased online, but we’d be happy to help you over the phone, email or in person.
What to expect and what do I wear?
We recommend comfortable clothing that you can move in and allows your therapist access to your abdomen, back, legs etc.
At the initial evaluation we will discuss your history and then tailor the sessions to your unique needs.
