WHAT IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Pelvic Floor physical therapy is a specialization within the PT field to treat conditions in and pertaining to the pelvis (i.e. bladder & bowel dysfunction, genital pain, sexual dysfunction, and pregnancy related issues). We will assess your whole body and create an individualized plan of care encompassing manual therapy, exercise, stretching, mindfulness and more to progress you toward your GOALS! Think PAIN-FREE, LEAK-FREE and STRONGER than ever!

It may involve an internal component if you, the patient, are consenting and comfortable, which can provide useful information and allow more direct treatment when warranted. No matter what, we will always go at your pace and stick to what makes you comfortable and leaves you feeling empowered in your body. You are always welcome to bring along a friend or partner to be with you during the internal exam if you are more comfortable. I strive to ensure you feel as safe and in control as possible during these vulnerable moments.

I treat as a hybrid, offering two clinic spaces, one in DeLand, FL, one in Winter Park, FL and I also operate as a mobile practice – so I can come to your home if you are located in the Orlando, FL area (specifically, Seminole and Orange counties, beyond this may incur a travel fee). If you are not from Central Florida, check out some of my virtual options!

What are consultations and wellness visits?

These are for anyone who is not ready to commit to a “long term” plan of care or just has a couple specific questions. They are hour long, 1:1 virtual video conferencing sessions, booked one at a time. They could be on anything related to pelvises, periods, birth control advice, and more! They are also a great option if you do not live close to any Pelvic PT’s and need a virtual visit!

I also will hop on a phone call anytime for a brief introduction if you have questions before you feel ready to book, just submit an inquiry at the bottom of the page with your phone number!

WHAT IS YOUR NEW PATIENT PROCEDURE?

I recommend filling out my inquiry form below initially so we can connect over a phone call or email and discuss how Pelvic PT would most help you, or if you are curious what these options entail. I will walk you through the different options and make a recommendation  based on your primary concerns and goals. We can discuss payment and get you scheduled from there! Or text me READY NOW at 404-545-9026 to start a conversation!

WHAT TYPES OF HEALTH INSURANCE DO YOU ACCEPT?

I am cash-based and therefore my services are covered under your out-of-network physical therapy benefits. This allows me to treat you in the way I feel is best without “the man” dictating what your pelvic floor needs.

In a typical clinic model, therapists treat 1-4 patients at one time and insurance will only approve sessions until you are “good enough” to say that they are not medically necessary, which is usually before you meet your true goals.

Treating as a concierge clinic allows me to spend more 1:1 time with you and treat you how you deserve until your personal goals for therapy are reached! This often involves less sessions than traditional outpatient PT because the quality is more valuable during each 1+ hour long session with the undivided attention of your PT. Therefore, the cost of fewer sessions is not as steep in comparison to the more frequent co-payments.

If you are utilizing physical therapy services (i.e. not coaching or consultations), I can also provide a superbill and instruct you how to submit for an insurance claim and reimbursement or application toward a deductible, which is typically honored at 60-80% of what you paid, based on the physical therapy coverage in your insurance plan.

If you are concerned about payments, please talk to me about it in your inquiry and we can work together to figure out a plan that works for you. I never want financial strain to be the reason you are living in pain, discomfort or dysfunction.

DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?

Per the state of Florida’s Physical Therapy Practice Act, I can treat you as a PT for 30 days prior to needing a physician’s referral. This can be from an MD, DO, PA, NP, midwife, or chiropractor. If you are using virtual coaching or consultation services, you do not need any referral.
