What does an initial evaluation look like?
An evaluation with a pelvic floor physical therapist, is quite different from your conventional physical therapy evaluation. Our objective is to get a thorough understanding of what you are experiencing, learn about the goals you are wanting to achieve, and get to the root cause of your symptoms.
In our assessment, we are looking for factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. We take a closer look at:
your postural alignment and muscle imbalances
movement patterns such as squatting, day to day activities, running form, etc customized to what your experiencing
examine how you are firing your core. Is there ab separation?
fascial restrictions limiting your mobility
scar restrictions from previous injuries, surgical procedures
with your consent, we perform an internal vaginal exam where we examine your pelvic floor muscles, their strength and coordination, are there restrictions or trigger points that reporduce your symtoms, scar tissue from previous procedures
At the end of the evaluation, your therapist will outline the details of your plan of care, specifically catered to you to achieve your goals!
