Frequently Asked Questions

I am not in-network with any insurance companies. This allows me to provide longer appointments and the most evidence-based, beneficial treatments to the patient. At the end of each appointment, I will send you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for direct reimbursement, which depends on your insurance benefits and deductibles.

You do not need a referral to come see me. Additionally, I can refer you to specialists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, massage therapists, and order imaging if necessary. I cannot prescribe medication.

The pelvic floor is a small group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that have many important jobs, like bowel and bladder function, sexual function, breathing, and stabilizing the spine and pelvis.

Like any other muscle group, the pelvic floor can be injured, or can develop dysfunctional movement patterns, leading to pelvic floor disorders like urinary incontinence, painful bladder, constipation, defecatory disorders, painful sex, vulvodynia, pelvic pain, prolapse, even low back and hip pain.

After a thorough history and pelvic floor examination, internal and external manual therapies like cupping and dry needling of the hips and low back, or internal myofascial release, help to soften and relieve painful muscles. The highest priority is placed on the patient’s comfort and safety, so consent is constantly asked before proceeding with examination or treatment.

After this, exercises are shown to help re-coordinate and strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. The at-home rehab program is designed with your lifestyle in mind and includes self care management strategies, and continuous updates to the care plan until the patient is ready to be discharged from care. This usually takes 6-8 visits, but may be more or less depending on the patient.

Welcome to the gym, I am so happy you’re here! Just like with anything, being comfortable at the gym and with exercise takes practice. I will meet you at your starting point and create an individualized plan to increase confidence and strength safely.

When you book a session, you will receive instructions that are super clear on what to wear, what snacks/drinks to bring, where you are going, where you are parking, and I will meet you at the door to show you around.

I will demonstrate and teach you each movement to ensure you feel comfortable while safely increasing weights. Before you have time to second guess yourself, you will have the necessary support to exceed your own expectations!
