Your First Evaluation
(This page answers questions regarding men's health physical therapy and women's health PT.)
How long will the evaluation take?
We offer 90-minute or 60-minute evaluations for your convenience and preference. We'll email you the paperwork beforehand to save time during the evaluation.
What should I wear?
Feel free to wear comfortable clothing for your visits.
What happens during the first evaluation?
Since we perform holistic treatments and examine many aspects contributing to your problem, a complete evaluation may take more than one visit. During the first visit, we may evaluate some elements contributing to your symptoms and start with some treatment approaches.
Your pelvis is part of a whole, and we would not provide you with good care if we just examined your pelvis alone. Your therapist, Sunel, will conduct an orthopedic evaluation, assess your posture, movement, breathing pattern, sleep, and diet, and ask about your daily routine. If you consent and if relevant, she will also conduct an external and/or internal pelvic floor evaluation during your first or second visit. An internal assessment can provide valuable additional information to help you heal.
Remember, no topic is too sensitive to discuss, and we will take our time to listen to and support you. Understanding your pelvic floor is the first step toward healing.
At the end of the visit, your therapist, Sunel, will tell you what she found during the evaluation. With your therapist, you will decide on goals and devise a treatment plan that works for you.
(We have a blog post specifically geared towards the first visit for male pelvic floor therapy.)
