What is my first appointment like?

You will share your story, discuss your symptoms, and talk about your goals with your physical therapist in a private treatment room. You will get a head-to-toe evaluation to determine what is causing your symptoms and the best plan moving forward. You will leave your first appointment with a plan to move forward to achieve your goals.

Do I need a prescription from my doctor?

Nope! In Massachusetts, you can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral. That means you can book an evaluation without extra hurdles. I am more than happy to send any information to your doctor / OBGYN / midwife / etc so that they are aware we are working together.

I was told to “just kegel” so is pelvic PT really necessary?

Yes! Oftentimes, kegels can actually make people’s symptoms worse instead of better! It is crucial to be evaluated and treated by a licensed pelvic PT to determine the best course of treatment for YOU!

Is an internal exam required?

No! An internal exam gives us the most information regarding what is going on with your pelvic floor but definitely not required and only performed with consent. We can assess you without an internal examination when you feel comfortable to do so.

How long are sessions?

Each appointment is one hour. We also offer two hour appointments for people who want to “put their foot on the gas” or come from far away.
