Your First Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Visit
Welcome to Trailhead Physical Therapy for your first pelvic floor therapy visit! We're here for you during your appointment. No topic is too sensitive to discuss, and we'll take our time to listen and support you. Understanding what is going on with your pelvic floor is the first step toward healing.
Your pelvis is part of a whole, and we would not provide you with good care if we just looked at your pelvis alone. Your therapist will conduct an orthopedic evaluation, examine your posture, movement, breathing pattern, sleep, and diet, and ask about your daily routine. If you consent, your therapist may 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.
At the end of the visit, your therapist will let you know what she found during the evaluation, and together, you will decide on goals and devise a treatment plan that works for you.
