Frequently Asked Questions

Who can I bring with me to my appointments?

We want you to be comfortable during your entire treatment. Please feel free to bring partners and babies if desired.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear something that you feel comfortable in! Often loose fitting clothes including skirts or sweats are the easiest to move around in and make treatment more efficient.

Do I need a physician’s referral?

Patients have direct access to physical therapy in the state of North Carolina, meaning that a referral from a medical provider is not required to initiate therapy. Some insurance companies, including Medicare, may require a physician referral for reimbursement. If you are pregnant, a referral is required to ensure you and the baby are medically stable prior to treatment.

Should I still come to physical therapy if I am on my period?

First and foremost, we respect your comfort level; being on your period is not a problem for us. This is an amazing and natural bodily function. We can still perform a full exam — or alternatively — work externally on stretches, strengthening exercises, and education to continue to restore your balance.

Do you take my insurance?

Insurance companies often dictate how we can treat you and for how long. We find this too limiting to your care. All of our services are reimbursable by most insurance companies based on your out of network physical therapy benefits. After each visit, you will be given a form with the services completed for that treatment and are welcome to file this with your insurance.

How long should I wait to come to PT after giving birth?

We begin seeing patients between 4-6 weeks postpartum. If you experienced complications or had a high risk pregnancy, clearance from your OBGYN is recommended.

What can I do to prepare for my appointment?

Making a decision to put your health first is one of the most important steps in preparing for your first appointment. Having a generalized timeline of how and when your symptoms began is very helpful, as well as taking the time to write down any questions you have before coming to PT. We want to make sure we address your concerns and needs during each session.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

At your first visit you will meet in a private treatment room with one of our physical therapists. The therapist will ask questions related to your pelvic health history and symptoms to fully understand your concerns. The therapist will then perform a detailed evaluation which will assess movement patterns, range of motion and strength. Often an internal assessment of the pelvic floor either vaginally or rectally is necessary to evaluate the pelvic floor muscles. This will be discussed with you prior to the exam and only performed with your consent. We encourage questions throughout the exam from you and will explain all evaluating assessments and results to help further your education regarding your pelvic health! Your evaluation and treatment will be specific to you and ongoing each session.
