1️⃣ In Indiana, you can see a physical therapist for up to six weeks without a referral from a physician, NP, PA, etc. We have extensive, doctorate-level training to help you figure out the cause of your symptoms and determine the best course of action to address them.
2️⃣ At in-network clinics, it’s common for therapists to see multiple patients at once and face restrictions from insurance that limit their ability to provide holistic, whole-person care. And those with high deductibles can face hefty out-of-pocket costs, even for in-network care. I’ve had patients switch to my practice after getting surprise bills for $300-$600+ PER SESSION from in-network practices! PT is also HSA/FSA eligible, and you may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company after seeing an out-of-network provider like myself, depending on your plan’s benefits.
3️⃣ Not comfortable with an internal pelvic floor assessment on your first visit, or ever? That’s completely OK. There are so many relevant factors we can assess outside of the pelvic floor - core and hip strength, breathing and body mechanics, and lifestyle factors, to name a few. External or internal pelvic floor exams are only ever performed with your informed consent, and your comfort and boundaries are always respected.
4️⃣ “Just do kegels” is not a substitute for a holistic, whole-person assessment and treatment by a qualified provider. In fact, many of my pelvic floor clients never do a single kegel as part of their treatment plan. Kegels can be incredibly helpful for some people in some situations, but they’re also not advised for a number of pelvic floor conditions, as they can actually worsen symptoms.
5️⃣ Pelvic floor dysfunction including incontinence, urinary frequency/urgency, and pelvic pain can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or whether they’ve ever been pregnant or given birth.
If pelvic floor dysfunction is keeping you from living your fullest, most active life, I’d love to help. To schedule an appointment or ask questions, reach out via the contact form on my website (link in bio).
