Frequently asked questions

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic region. These muscles support your bladder, bowel, sexual organs, and core stability. When they’re not functioning properly—whether they’re too tight, too weak, or not coordinating well—it can lead to a range of symptoms.

As a pelvic floor therapist, I work with clients to identify and treat these imbalances using a holistic, evidence-informed approach. That might include hands-on manual therapy, breathing and movement retraining, nervous system regulation, and sometimes, education around nutrition and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to symptoms.

You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from pelvic floor therapy. In fact, many of my clients come to me after years of feeling dismissed or confused by what’s going on in their bodies. Common symptoms I treat include:

• Pain with sex (dyspareunia or vestibulodynia)

• Urinary urgency, frequency, or incontinence

• Constipation or bowel dysfunction

• Pelvic pressure or heaviness (sometimes related to prolapse)

• Pain in the low back, hips, tailbone, or pubic bone

• Erectile dysfunction or testicular pain

• Pain during pregnancy or postpartum recovery

If you're experiencing any of these—please know you’re not alone, and there is support available.

My areas of expertise include but are not limited to

• Pelvic pain conditions (vestibulodynia, pudendal neuralgia, endometriosis, coccydynia)

• Sexual dysfunction and pain (dyspareunia, erectile dysfunction, pelvic floor tightness)

• Hormonally influenced pelvic pain and sexual health concerns

• Bowel and bladder dysfunction (urinary urgency/frequency, incontinence, constipation)

• Prenatal care, postpartum recovery and diastasis recti

• Prostate health and post-prostatectomy rehabilitation

• Pelvic floor dysfunction in athletes

• Chronic constipation and pelvic floor-related GI concerns

• Pre- and post-surgical pelvic health (colorectal, gynecologic, urologic)

• Stress or urge related urinary incontinence

Not at all! While postpartum care is a big part of what I do, I also work with men, children, and people of all gender identities. Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone—and it often does.

Yes! I provide pelvic health physical therapy for both males and females. Everyone deserves personalized care tailored to their unique needs. 

Every session is personalized based on your body, your story, and your comfort level. We’ll start with a detailed intake and conversation—what you’re feeling, what you’ve tried, and what your goals are.

From there, I may assess how your pelvic floor muscles are functioning (this can be done externally or internally, depending on your comfort and consent), evaluate posture, breath mechanics, core engagement, and how surrounding muscles like the hips or low back may be contributing. We’ll then create a plan together that includes hands-on therapy, movement education, and lifestyle support.

Most importantly—you’ll be heard. I believe that your body’s symptoms are a form of communication, and my job is to help you decode them with compassion and clarity.

If something in your body doesn’t feel right—especially if it’s been brushed off as “normal”—you don’t need to wait for things to get worse before getting support. If your symptoms are impacting your daily life, relationships, or sense of self, that’s reason enough.

Healing is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am an out-of-network provider, which allows me to offer highly personalized, one-on-one care without the limitations of insurance-based treatment models. Superbills are available upon request for possible reimbursement!

No referral is necessary to begin pelvic floor physical therapy. You can schedule directly without seeing a physician first. If you’re experiencing symptoms, trust that your experience is valid—it’s absolutely okay to advocate for yourself and seek care when you know something doesn’t feel right. That said, a doctor's referral is required after 12 visits or 45 business days, whichever comes first

While internal pelvic floor assessment can be a valuable part of understanding what’s going on, it is absolutely not required. Your comfort and consent are always the top priority. We’ll discuss all options together, and if you prefer, we can use external techniques and education to guide your treatment effectively.

Yes! Healing doesn’t just happen during our sessions—it continues at home. I’ll provide personalized exercises, stretches, or lifestyle recommendations to support your progress between visits. Think of it as empowering "homework" that helps you reconnect with your body and build long-term results.
