Pelvic Floor Therapy FAQs
Q: What is pelvic floor physical therapy?
A: Pelvic floor PT is a specialized treatment focused on the muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It helps with pain, leakage, pressure, and other pelvic health concerns.
Q: Who can benefit from pelvic floor PT?
A: Anyone experiencing pelvic pain, urinary or bowel issues, painful intercourse, postpartum recovery needs, or pelvic organ prolapse can benefit—regardless of gender.
Q: What should I expect at my first visit?
A: Your first visit will begin with a thorough discussion of your health history, symptoms, and personal goals. A physical assessment will follow, which may include:
– An evaluation of your movement patterns
– Screening for diastasis recti and other conditions
– Gentle internal or external examination (always with your consent)
This information helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Q: Is an internal examination required when I am doing pelvic floor physical therapy?
A: Internal exams can provide valuable information, but they are always optional. Your comfort is our priority—if you hesitate or prefer not to, the answer is always respected as a “no.” Your therapist will discuss your goals, explain why an internal exam may or may not be helpful, and explore alternative assessment options so you feel comfortable and supported throughout your care.
Other Concerns:
Q: Do I need an evaluation before dry needling? A: Yes. At Revive Physical Therapy & Wellness, every patient is required to complete an evaluation before starting dry needling—even if you’re confident that needling is the treatment you need.
The evaluation allows your physical therapist to:
Review your medical history
Assess your condition and movement patterns
Ensure dry needling is safe and appropriate for you
Develop a personalized treatment plan for best results
This step ensures your care is both safe and effective.
Q: How long are sessions?
A: Initial evaluations are typically 55 minutes. Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. Dry needling is 20-30 minutes. However everything is customizable depending on patient needs.
Q: How many sessions will I need? A: It varies by individual. Some feel relief in just a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing care. We’ll create a plan tailored to your goals.
Q: What should I wear to my appointment? A: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Please wear what is comfortable for you, a room is available to change in.
Q: Can I bring my baby or child? A: Absolutely! We understand postpartum life and welcome you to bring your baby or child if needed.
Q: Do I need to be injured to come see you? A: NO! We love it when people see us before they are injured, this is why we offer wellness services. Our goal is to help you proactively prevent pain and limitations.
Q: Is dry needling the same as acupuncture? A: No, dry needling and acupuncture are not the same, although both use thin, sterile needles. Their philosophies, origins, and applications differ significantly:
Origin & Philosophy: Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), focusing on balancing the body’s energy flow (Qi) along meridians to promote overall wellness. Dry needling is a modern, Western medicine-based technique that targets musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems.
Purpose: Dry needling aims to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement by deactivating myofascial trigger points (tight knots in muscles). Acupuncture addresses a broader range of conditions, including pain, but also internal ailments, stress, and overall well-being by restoring energy balance.
Application: Dry needling is highly site-specific, with needles inserted directly into trigger points in muscles. Dry needling can have both short term and long term effects.
Practitioners: Dry needling is typically performed by licensed physical therapists with specialized training. We are trained via musculoskeletal system and neuro muscular system to utilize pathways in our body. Acupuncture is performed by licensed acupuncturists. While both therapies can offer pain relief, dry needling is generally integrated into a comprehensive physical therapy treatment plan focused on restoring function and movement.
Q: What conditions do you treat besides pelvic floor issues? A: Beyond pelvic floor rehabilitation, we treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, hip and knee pain, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, balance issues, and general muscle weakness. Our holistic approach aims to address the root cause of your pain and limitations.
Q: What is wellness training and who can benefit from it? A: At Revive, we offer personal training aka wellness training for those individuals who have been to PT way too many times or just those looking to get stronger and maintain healthy bone structure and muscle mass.
Q: How do I schedule an appointment? A: You can schedule an appointment for pelvic floor using the booking link. We also offer a no-cost 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and see how we can best help you.
