Frequently Asked Questions

A pelvic floor physical therapist is a therapist who has advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of the pelvic floor muscles. Areas of treatment include bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, sexual pain, and prenatal/postpartum musculoskeletal care.

Your pelvic floor physical therapist will take a thorough history and discuss your symptoms. You will be educated on general anatomy of the pelvic floor and how this relates to your symptoms. Based on this discussion, an evaluation will be performed. This may include observation and palpation of your lower back, hips, abdominal wall and pelvis.  Your doctor of physical therapy may suggest an internal pelvic floor muscle assessment to further investigate the pelvic floor's role in your symptoms. Don’t panic! No speculum is involved and it is your choice.

There are many benefits for choosing an out-of-network provider for physical therapy. No referral or authorization is needed for treatment, you will never get a surprise bill in the mail, and insurance will not dictate your care. With insurance, PT is a covered service but only after the deductible has been met meaning you're paying full price out-of-pocket anyway until you reach that $3000, $4000 or $5000 deductible. 

You may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company based on your "out-of-network" benefits. We will be happy to provide you with a superbill which is an itemized document that has all of the necessary information to submit to your insurance company. 

Seeking and obtaining reimbursement for services is the sole responsibility of the patient, though, we are here to provide assistance.
