FAQs
No! In the state of Ohio we can see you via direct access law, which means patients can be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without needing a practitioner or healthcare provider referral. However, we are happy to collaborate with any other healthcare professionals you are working with to ensure the best care possible.
You will work 1:1 with your physical therapist for your entire session. Treatment slots are never double booked, nor will you work with an assistant or aide.
Your pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that form the floor of your pelvis. They play a role with bladder, bowel, and sexual function. In addition, they help to support your organs and work with your hip and core muscles to stabilize your trunk. Whether you have never had kids, are in your child bearing years, or transitioning through menopause, if you are having pain in your back, pelvis, or hip or are experiencing bladder, bowel, or sexual issues that are decreasing your quality of life you are a candidate for pelvic floor physical therapy. Pelvic floor therapists require specialized training to be able to evaluate and treat the pelvic floor muscles, but because these muscles are trainable, similar to all other muscles in our body, we create a plan to improve the function of the pelvic floor muscles allowing resolution of symptoms.
