New Patient FAQ
Where is the Rythm Clinic located?
The clinic is located in Indialantic FL, on the SE corner of 192 & Riverside Dr. Directly across the street from the Chase Bank & inside the office suite with the ramp out front (Suite 123).
Upon Arrival into the Clinic:
Rythm is a boutique private practice, which means it’s just Kat! Upon arrival into the clinic, please have a seat in the waiting room and make yourself comfy. Kat will come get you at the time of your appointment.
If you do not see Kat in the waiting room or find the door is locked, she is likely finishing up with a previous patient and will be with you as soon as possible.
If you need to use the bathroom before your session, follow the hallway down, turn left & its the first door on your right (& hard to miss!)
What should I expect on my first visit?
The first session is a lot of information gathering. The evaluation is a confidential, 60-75 minute appointment where we go over your detailed medical history, concerns, & current symptoms. After getting your history we perform a physical exam which includes an assessment of your posture, your movement abilities, a strength assessment, and typically an internal and external pelvic exam. Here at Rythm, we check you from head to toe to look at all the areas that may be contributing to your symptoms. After this, we will develop an individualized treatment plan, review education about your condition, and begin your home exercise program.
What if I am not comfortable with a pelvic exam?
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.
Do I need a referral or prescription?
Nope, You do not need a referral from a physician to attend physical therapy. If you do happen to have a referral, go ahead & bring it in.
If you don’t have a referral & continue to need physical therapy 30 days after your evaluation, we will need your doctor to be on board with our care plan- which we help take care of! Additionally, if your therapist feels further medical examination or treatment is indicated at any time during your appointments, we will encourage you to see your physician or refer you to an appropriate provider.
Do you accept insurance?
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.
What do I wear to my appointments?
Wear whatever is easiest for you! Athletic or loose-fitting clothing tends to be the most comfortable since your evaluation may include bending, squatting, lunging, and other movements. Plenty of patients come straight from work, straight from the beach, or somewhere in between—all of it is perfectly fine.
I am on my cycle, do I need to cancel my appointment?
You do not need to cancel if you are on your cycle. We see women on their cycles all day long, and it does not impact what we do! It really is a personal preference, and what you are comfortable with.
How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
If you need to make any changes to your appointment, we ask that you please provide us with at least 24-hour notice. You can make changes by leaving us a voice mail, or via email- whatever is easiest for you!
Cancelations & reschedules <24 hours will result in a $100 cancellation fee. We appreciate your understanding!
Can I use my FSA/HSA Card for payment?
Yes- If this card functions like a credit card you are welcome to use it!
Can I bring my children or family with me?
Absolutely! Babies, toddlers, significant others, diaper bags, snacks, & all are welcome here 🤍
