What to Expect at Your Pelvic Floor Visit
We understand that pelvic health is deeply personal. That’s why we prioritize comfort, consent, and clarity throughout your evaluation.
Comprehensive History & Conversation
We’ll discuss your symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and medical history — including birth, surgical, hormonal, GI, and bladder history. You’re encouraged to share what feels relevant. Nothing is off-limits.
Physical Exam
Orthopedic Exam: Range of motion, joint loading, and special tests for the spine, hips, and pelvis
Neurological Exam: Reflexes, motor strength, sensation, balance, and coordination
Postural & Breathing Mechanics: We assess how your diaphragm, ribs, abdominals, and pelvic floor work together under load.
External Pelvic Floor Exam
Visual inspection and palpation of the perineum, vulva/scrotum, coccyx, and bony pelvis and assessment of external muscle tone, coordination, tenderness, and trigger points.
Internal Pelvic Floor Exam (only if appropriate and with full consent)
Performed intravaginally or intrarectally depending on your anatomy and symptoms. Used to evaluate pelvic floor strength, endurance, coordination, tension, and tissue mobility.
Review of Findings & Individualized Plan
We’ll explain what we found in clear, non-technical terms and you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan — which may include hands-on therapy, movement retraining, breathwork, or nutrition/lifestyle support.
Your care is not just about your pelvic floor — it’s about your whole system. We take time to assess thoroughly so we can treat intentionally.
