No Awkward Questions Here — Everything you’ve been wondering about Pelvic Health Therapy

We get it — pelvic health isn’t always a super comfortable topic. But your questions about leakage, pain, discomfort, and sex are all safe here. Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions about pelvic floor physical therapy, what to expect, and how it can help.

  • Your 1st visit, our Pelvic Floor PT evaluation, includes an internal pelvic exam and an evaluation of your pelvis, hips, spine, and abdominal wall. All patients are different, and your evaluation and treatment will be modified to your specific needs.  If you do not want an internal pelvic exam, we respect your decision! Just let Dr. Danielle Rivera know before your visit. You are always encouraged to speak with Dr. Rivera about your concerns, needs, and comfort level. 

  • Something comfortable - like shorts or free-flowing pants that you can move well in and complete some light exercises to assess your hip, spine, and abdominal muscles.

  • Florida law states you may see a physical therapist for 30 days for physical therapy without a prescription from a physician. Your physical therapist may recommend you follow up with a physician depending on your symptoms or duration of treatment, which will be determined during your initial sessions.

  • We do not accept insurance. Our small clinic operates on a fee-for-service model that allows us to spend more time treating patients, and less time dealing with insurance companies. However, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

  • Each Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy session is $175. Payment is collected on the day of your visit and can be paid via credit cards, HSA, Zelle, or cash. On your first visit, your physical therapist will discuss the number of sessions needed and how frequently you should attend in order to reach your goals
