Not sure whether you have to do an internal exam at pelvic floor PT?
You don’t.
An internal exam can be helpful because it gives us more specific information about pelvic floor strength, coordination, and tension — but it is never a requirement.
There are other ways to assess what’s going on, including:�• external assessment�• movement + posture�• breath + core coordination
Most importantly: your consent matters.
You can decline. You can ask questions. You can change your mind at any point.
Pelvic floor PT should feel empowering, collaborative, and never intimidating.
Save this before your appointment 🤍
