Your first physical therapy visit will include a thorough musculoskeletal evaluation, (which may include an internal pelvic floor examination if appropriate), functional movement assessment, hands-on treatment, education about your condition and an initial home program with self treatment strategies to help you continue to make progress at home. After your evaluation we will focus on a treatment plan that is realistic and fits in your life. Your follow up visits will include a cohesive and customized combination of manual therapy techniques, corrective exercises, yoga based movement training, and self treatment strategies.

Your first acupuncture visit will include a detailed health history with a focus on your current main complaint. You can expect questions about how your complaint manifests, its triggers, frequency and intensity. Your acupuncturist will also ask general health questions to get a sense of your stressors, lifestyle, and overall well being. Following the evaluation you will receive around 50 minutes of acupuncture treatment that will include needling and additional modalities like cupping, acupressure, and lifestyle advice as appropriate. Your follow up visits will include a symptom check-in followed by an acupuncture treatment.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialization of physical therapy that addresses issues that arise within the pelvic floor musculature and pelvic region of the body. These issues often lead to bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction as well as other orthopedic conditions such as low back, hip and abdominal pain. Because this is a complex part of the body and the pelvic floor muscles are influenced by the majority of the other parts of the body as well as global movement patterns, a pelvic floor therapist is trained to evaluate and treat in a holistic way that addresses these other influences and looks at the whole person.

The traditional insurance model prevents us from giving you the best possible treatment. The Out-of-Network provider structure allows us to provide you with patient focused, quality based, and highly personalized care. You will have your therapist’s undivided attention, never have treatment by aides or assistants and you will never have any surprise bills for services. Your therapist will be accessible to you in between your sessions for communication and will provide you with education and resources to manage your condition with confidence in between your visits. As a result, most of our clients are seen for as few as 1-3 visits per month. This model ultimately results in fewer visits, faster outcomes, and decreased overall cost of co-pays and unnecessary visits.
