  • How can I schedule an initial evaluation with a pelvic floor physical therapist at Pelvic Harmony?
    You can give us a call, send us a text, or fill out our contact form below to get scheduled. You are also now able to book an evaluation online! If you'd like to get a few questions answered and speak with the physical therapist during a free phone consultation prior to booking a full evaluation, you are able to schedule that online as well. Number to call/text is 830-717-9390.
  • What is the difference between a phone consult and an initial evaluation?
    A phone consult is a free 15-minute time slot saved just for you to get all of your questions/concerns answered by the physical therapist before booking a paid initial evaluation. The initial evaluation will include the physical therapist coming to your home and doing a full assessment. After the full assessment has been done, she can recommend and co-create an individualized plan of care with you.
  • What should I wear during a pelvic floor therapy session?
    You should wear something that you can comfortably move around in! There will likely be a lot of movement in your plan of care.
  • Do I need to shave for my pelvic exams?
    We can't tell you how many times we hear this question. Shaving is absolutely not necessary!! Only shave if it were something you would have done regardless of whether you had a PT session or not! Come as you are :)
  • Do I have to do a pelvic exam?
    While it can be helpful to fully examine the pelvic floor muscles via an internal vaginal assessment, there are other ways the pelvic floor muscles can be assessed if someone is opting not to take part in an internal exam. The pelvic floor does not work in isolation so we will be looking at general mobility and full body movement as well. We can do A LOT without doing the internal exam, but it can be really helpful in re-training the pelvic floor muscles when some internal feedback can be provided.
  • What does the pelvic floor exam entail?
    To ease your mind, this experience is nothing like you have probably experienced at other doctor's visits when it comes to your womanhood. There will be a lot of talking at the start of your session to discuss all of your concerns thoroughly, followed by explanations of the plan for the rest of the session. A pelvic exam will be performed toward the end of the session, but only with your consent. You can always say no, or we can put it off until a later session if desired. The therapist can also talk you through how to perform a self-assessment on your own if this is more comfortable for you. You would just report the findings back to her at a later session!
  • Can my children be present during my session?
    Of course! The physical therapist will be traveling to you and expects that you will have your normal daily responsibilities as you go about your day. All you need to do is set aside some semi-private time to complete portions of your session. Many parts of your session can absolutely include children if needed/desired. If you are a mother, children/babies always come first! If you need to step away for a moment or feed your baby during a session, this is welcome as well!
  • Do I have to wait until 6 weeks postpartum to get scheduled?
    Nope! There is so much that can be accomplished even in those early weeks. It is actually one of my most favorite things to do! I love to check on mamas shortly after they have given birth to see how they are doing, check vitals, educate as needed, answer any burning questions, assess functional movement as you care for your new little one, and provide you will gentle exercise progression to prevent injury. Many of the gentle exercises are covered in one of your prenatal visits with me if you do the birth prep session, so that you can immediately apply those movement strategies postpartum. We hold off on any pelvic floor internal assessments until you have been cleared by your OB/midwife, which is usually around the 6 week mark.
