What Can I Expect?
Your evaluation is individualized and typically involves looking at posture, alignment, breathing, muscle activity, pelvic stability, strength, endurance, motor control (how muscles contract and relax), range of motion, flexibility, and palpating joints, muscles, and fascia.
For many people, the pelvic floor muscles may be contributing to a person’s symptoms and an assessment of the pelvic floor muscles can give valuable information. An internal examination of the pelvic floor may also be performed vaginally and/or rectally. This allows me to assess the superficial and deep pelvic floor muscles to determine areas of pain/tenderness, strength, endurance, ability to relax, coordination, and assess any areas of tightness or restriction.
Then we discuss the findings, and treatment may include manual therapy, body mechanics, posture education, pressure management strategies, and a home exercise program.
All assessments and treatments are performed in accordance with patient comfort and consent, with some areas being addressed at subsequent visits as needed.
