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.

  • It depends on the concern and your child’s progress. Some babies need just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll reassess regularly and update the plan as needed.

  • 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.

  • I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. This allows me to focus fully on personalized, high-quality care without the restrictions and delays that insurance often imposes. While insurance companies can limit the types of treatments covered, session length, or frequency, I tailor every plan to what you truly need—not what fits an insurance policy.

    You will receive a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many of my clients find that paying out-of-pocket for focused, flexible care is more efficient and ultimately more beneficial for their recovery and long-term health.

  • Yes, discounted packages are available for those committed to a plan of care. We’ll discuss your goals during your first session to recommend the best option.

  • Cancellations or reschedules made with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. This helps cover the time reserved for you and allows me to offer that appointment slot to someone else.

    I understand that life with kids and busy schedules can be unpredictable—if something comes up, please let me know as soon as possible so we can reschedule without penalty whenever possible.
