What to expect.
The initial evaluation is all about understanding you, your body, and what you want to accomplish. We know that starting pelvic health physical therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you have never experienced this type of care before. Your initial evaluation is designed to give you the time and space to ask questions, understand your body, and begin making progress from day one.
Your doctor will talk with you about your health history, symptoms, concerns, and goals before completing a comprehensive evaluation tailored to your needs. Depending on what you're experiencing and your comfort level, your evaluation may include looking at your breathing, core, hips, spine, strength, movement, and pelvic floor.
Then we get to work. We don't want you to spend your first appointment simply talking about your symptoms and then wait another week to begin care. We'll begin addressing what we find, introduce strategies that can help, and create a personalized home program for you.
At the end of your initial appointment, we will discuss the care path that makes the most sense for you!
