Frequently Asked Questions
-
We treat women and men over the age of 18. (Yes, men have a pelvic floor too!) We do not treat patients under the age of 18, but we are happy to recommend a therapist specializing in pediatric pelvic floor issues upon request.

The initial evaluation involves a lot of information gathering & getting to know your story.
It’s is a confidential, 60 minute appointment where we go over your detailed medical history, concerns, and current symptoms.
After getting your history, we perform a comprehensive physical exam where we assess your posture, movement patterns, strength, mobility, coordination, breathing, & more. Depending on your symptoms & goals, we may also look at how your body moves during everyday activities like bending, squatting, lifting, walking, or running.
We also typically recommend an internal & external pelvic floor exam — always with your full consent & only within your comfort level. A pelvic exam is never required.
After this, we will develop an individualized treatment plan, review education about your condition, and begin your home exercise program.

That’s 10000% okay. Everything we do is based on your comfort level, and nothing is ever required. There are many ways to assess and treat the pelvic floor, and we can still make great progress without an internal exam.

Rythm Pelvic Health is an out-of-network provider, which means I do not have contracts with insurance companies.
Many patients are reimbursed for their visits. If you’d like to seek reimbursement, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.
Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan.
For Payment I accept credit cards, including flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), & cash.
Payment is due at the time of service.
-
At this time, Rythm is not able to accept Medicare.
If you have Medicare coverage, I’m still happy to point you toward other local options that may be a better fit for your insurance needs.

Absolutely! Babies, toddlers, significant others, diaper bags, snacks, & all are welcome here 🤍
Cozy room disclaimer: the treatment space is on the smaller side!
-
This can vary greatly depending on why you’re coming in, your specific goals with PT, & how your body responds to treatment.
Many patients begin with weekly visits. and then space things out as they begin to feel better.
Your plan of care will always be tailored to you and adjusted along the way.
-
Absolutely—I’d love for you to revisit pelvic therapy.
No two pelvic PT experiences are the same. Care can vary widely depending on the provider, their treatment approach, time spent with you, and what was going on in your body at that time.
If therapy didn’t fully help before, that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes and a different approach is needed, and thats 100% ok!
