FAQ’s

  • Pelvic floor PT focuses on the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowels. It can help with issues like leaking, pelvic pain, prolapse, constipation, and pain with intimacy. Treatment includes exercises, hands-on techniques, education, and movement strategies tailored to your needs.

  • In California, you can start physical therapy without a referral for up to 12 visits or 45 days—whichever comes first. After that, a physician’s signature is required to continue.

  • We'll start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals. A physical assessment may include posture, breathing, core strength, and, if appropriate and with your consent, an internal pelvic floor exam. All treatments are guided by your comfort level.

  • I always recommend wearing something you are comfortable in and are able to move your body in.

  • No. While internal pelvic floor muscle assessment can be helpful, it’s never required. We have many effective external techniques and exercises to help you meet your goals.

  • Absolutely! Whether you're 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum, it’s never too late to address symptoms like leaking, heaviness, pain, or core weakness.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Infant Physical Therapy

  • Babies may benefit from PT for things like torticollis (head turning preference), plagiocephaly (flat head), delayed milestones (rolling, crawling, walking), or body tension that impacts feeding and movement.

  • Sessions are playful and gentle. We’ll work on movement patterns, body symmetry, and parent education so you feel confident supporting your baby at home.

  • Yes! Your presence is encouraged. We want you involved in learning techniques that can support your baby between visits.

  • Torticollis means “twisted neck” and is often caused by tight neck muscles. Signs to look out for include:

    • Your baby consistently turns or tilts their head to one side

    • They have difficulty turning their head the other way

    • Their head seems flat on one side (plagiocephaly)

    • They prefer to nurse or bottle-feed from one side only

    • One shoulder may appear higher than the other

    • Their eyes don’t seem level in photos

    • They tend to arch their body or feel tense during tummy time

    If you notice any of these signs, early physical therapy can make a big difference by improving your baby’s range of motion, symmetry, and comfort with movement.
