What to expect during your first visit
Many people ask what their initial pelvic floor evaluation would be like. It's hard to say exactly because we try to customize it for every patient.
During the session
Interview
We'll discuss your history and symptoms in depth. Topics covered include work, sleep habits, diet, and overall health factors. Depending on the complexity of your history and symptoms, this portion may take up the majority of the time.
Whole Body Assessment
We evaluate your posture in sitting and standing, functional movements like squatting and lifting, breathing patterns and rib cage movement, spine/pelvis/hip range of motion, and core/back/hip strength.
Pelvic Exam
A pelvic floor assessment is NEVER required and also does not have to be performed on your first visit or any visit if you do not feel comfortable. External exam includes visual assessment and palpation. Internal exam uses a single gloved finger to assess muscle tension, strength, and relaxation ability.
After the session
After the evaluation, we'll discuss treatment focus areas and provide you with at-home exercises to maintain consistency between sessions. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a plan for moving forward.
