Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pelvic floor physical therapists have specialized training to treat bowel, bladder and sexual health conditions. Our pelvic floor PT Natalie is trained to assess the pelvic floor internally (vaginally or rectally). However despite this training, our patients have had success with treatment without an internal exam. The exam will be explained prior using a model and you can always decline internal treatment. You are always in control of your body during sessions.
