Free Phone Consultation
I want you to feel comfortable with your treatment and trust me as your therapy provider. This phone call will help us get to know each other and determine if this treatment and in-home therapy is right for you. We will discuss your condition, what you will be doing in therapy, what to expect, and how this treatment may help. I will also cover the treatment cost, as I will not be billing medical insurance.
Initial Evaluation
I will travel to the comfort of your home for all therapy visits. I will bring a table, mat, and any treatment materials needed. We will work together to outline an individualized program, taking your goals, schedule, and life into consideration. I will assess posture, core strength, muscle imbalances, mobility, and pelvic floor strength. Pelvic floor strength assessment can be done internally or externally, depending on the comfort of the patient, as well as the individual's primary concern. There are problems that women commonly deal with that can be a result of the pelvic floor muscles becoming too weak or too tense.
These include:
-
Lower back pain
-
Sacroiliac pain
-
Pelvic pain
-
Tailbone pain
-
Rectal pain
-
Bladder leakage
-
Constipation
-
Overactive bladder
-
Pain with sexual intercourse
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
Treatment visit
Follow-up treatment visits will take place in your home. I will provide all tools necessary for treatment, as well as exercise print-outs for your home program. Therapy is typically weekly, allowing you to follow through with home recommendations. The timeline for improvement is different for everyone. We can outline a plan that works best for you.
Breastfeeding support
Breastfeeding consultation visits will be provided as requested. I recently completed my certificate of lactation counseling and would be happy to include lactation services if necessary. Breastfeeding support can also be provided in conjunction with postpartum physical therapy visits. Breastfeeding should not be painful, however, it can be a difficult process. I am trained to counsel, support, and assist with a more effective latch to help both mom and baby. I have personal experience breastfeeding my 3 children as well.
"The Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) certification means that a person has received training and competency verification in breastfeeding and human lactation support, including assessing the latching and feeding process, providing corrective interventions, counseling mothers, understanding and applying knowledge of milk production including in special circumstances and other commonly encountered situations."
