Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Floor Therapy
- What is pelvic floor therapy?
- Pelvic floor physical therapy treats the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor, the group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. During pregnancy and postpartum, these muscles experience significant strain. A pelvic floor PT assesses function and creates a personalized treatment plan to address pain, weakness, or dysfunction.
- When should I start pelvic floor therapy after birth?
- Most pelvic floor PTs recommend an initial evaluation at 6 weeks postpartum after your OB or midwife clearance, though some will see patients as early as 3-4 weeks for gentle assessment. Prenatal pelvic floor therapy is also beneficial: it can reduce perineal tearing, help with pubic symphysis pain, and prepare the pelvic floor for birth.
- What symptoms indicate I need pelvic floor therapy?
- Common reasons to see a pelvic floor PT include: leaking urine or feces (incontinence), pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain during pregnancy or intercourse, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), tailbone pain, painful scar tissue from cesarean or perineal tears, and difficulty returning to exercise postpartum.
- Is pelvic floor therapy covered by insurance?
- Pelvic floor PT is often covered as physical therapy under most insurance plans, though benefits vary. Many patients meet their deductible or pay a specialist copay per session. Ask your pelvic floor PT if they accept your insurance and whether they can bill as outpatient PT.
