Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! We are one of the few pelvic floor clinics in San Antonio with training to treat male patients.
-
While the goal of pelvic floor therapy is the same for everyone (to reduce pain and restore function), the male pelvic floor has unique anatomical features and challenges. That’s why working with a provider experienced in pelvic floor physical therapy for men is key.
-
While the internal exam/manual therapy can tell us a lot about your pelvic floor muscles, our therapists have plenty of knowledge, exercises, and other tools we can use to help if internal work is not a good option for you. We value informed consent first and foremost, and you, the patient, are always in control!
-
100% we can help you. We work with people of all activity levels and ages. We believe that everyone can benefit from movement.
-
After a thorough explanation & getting your consent, the exam/treatment can be completed rectally. Our goals with either are to assess for muscle tension, coordination/function, and any asymmetries. This is not your typical urology exam! We don’t make you bend over and cough. It involves the use of 1 gloved, lubricated finger(s) that aims to be non-painful as we talk you through the entirety of what we are doing & more importantly, get your feedback on how it is feeling! Your perception of the feeling of pressure on the muscle(s) gives us information about where the issue may be coming from (nerves, muscle, other soft tissues, etc).
-
We are open as early as 9 am and as late as 4 pm.
-
-
NO! Maryland is a direct-access state for physical therapy. This means you no longer need a referral to start pelvic floor therapy! This saves you valuable time and money and avoids unnecessary diagnostic testing and medications. The sooner you receive treatment for an injury or dysfunction, the faster you will get well!
-
This will vary greatly from person to person, depending on what you’re being treated for, how long you’ve been dealing with the issue, what your specific goals are, as well as other factors that will play a role in your recovery. We ask that, at minimum, you plan for a comprehensive evaluation followed by at least a couple of follow-up sessions. However, for more complex issues or more challenging goals, you will likely benefit from more sessions with your therapist to ensure full resolution of symptoms for both the short and long term. Your therapist will be able to give you a more personalized idea at your evaluation.
-
Every appointment will be 100% one-on-one with your therapist. You can expect to spend approximately an hour at each of your appointments. Each session may include a combination of assessment, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and patient education on how to supplement treatment while at home.
