Head shot of Farhin Pathan for Pelvic floor therapy

Have you ever felt like, 🤔

➡️ Embarrassed about peeing a little when you laugh, cough, or sneeze? 🤧

➡️ Annoyed with having to buy adult diapers or take some elaborate concoction of incontinence pills with no relief insight? 💊

➡️ Frustrated with never feeling “in the mood” to be intimate with your mate because it just hurts too much? 🥰

Often each of these challenges are tied to a single thing:

issues related to the pelvic floor.

 

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the bottom of your pelvis that hold and control the soft tissue and organs in that area. When the pelvic floor is functioning properly we tend not to think about it at all.

However, when the pelvic floor isn’t working properly it can lead to feelings that you need to pee constantly throughout the day, an inability to hold it between trips to the bathroom, or even pain during sex.

Do I Need Insurance For Pelvic Floor Therapy?

No, in fact our office does not accept insurance. The reason for this is largely that insurance companies dictate the manner in which therapy sessions can go when they are paying for it, and we prefer the autonomy to provide customized therapy suited to each person’s needs.

You also do not need a referral from your general doctor to visit a physical therapist in the state of NC.

People With Conditions Like These Have Found Pelvic Floor Therapy Helpful

This form of physical therapy is helpful for those experiencing:

  • Prolapse
  • Incontinence
  • Painful sex or inability to have penetrative sex
  • Bladder and bowel issues
  • Pain in the vulva
  • Musculoskeletal aches
  • Postpartum recovery

The first visit involves a discussion about your experiences and symptoms. The therapist will be sensitive to the nature of these difficulties, but lifestyle can play into the symptoms.

We also observe posture in the back and hips. The assessment may also require an internal exam of the pelvic area depending on circumstance.

In some cases an internal exam isn’t possible, such as when any form of penetration is painful.
