Women in Perimenopause & Menopause

Older woman in a gray jacket outdoors, looking to the left with a thoughtful expression.

You’ve been told this is “just part of aging”… but it doesn’t have to be your new normal. You thought this phase would feel different. Maybe you expected some changes… But not this.

  • The dryness, discomfort, or pain with intimacy
  • The sudden urgency or leaking you can’t control
  • Recurrent UTIs that keep coming back
  • Feeling disconnected from your body
  • Weight shifting, energy dipping, sleep off
  • Or just a sense that something isn’t right

And what’s most frustrating? You’ve probably been told:

“This is normal.”

“It’s just hormones.”

“Welcome to menopause.”

But normal doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

What’s actually going on in your body

As estrogen levels shift, your body changes in ways that directly impact your pelvic health. This can lead to what’s called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) (essentially a cluster of symptoms that affect the bladder, vaginal tissues, and pelvic floor).

That’s why you might be experiencing:

  • Vaginal dryness, irritation, or tearing
  • Pain with intimacy
  • Urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage
  • Recurrent UTIs
  • Pelvic heaviness or pressure

These changes are real, physical, and treatable.

Why nothing you’ve tried has fully worked

Most women are offered one of two paths:

1. “Just deal with it”
 You’re told it’s part of aging… and sent on your way.

2. Quick fixes without a full plan
 Maybe you’ve tried:

  • Lubricants or moisturizers
  • Hormone therapy (or been told you can’t use it)
  • Kegels (that didn’t help—or made things worse)

But here’s the missing piece:

Your pelvic floor + your hormones + your whole body have to be addressed together.

This is where we’re different

At Pelvic Prescription, we don’t just treat symptoms. We look at the full picture of what your body is going through.

That means your care is:

Personalized to YOU. Not a generic protocol. We assess how your body is moving, functioning, and compensating.

Focused on real results. Less urgency. Less pain. Better intimacy. More confidence in your body again.

Whole-body, not just pelvic. We look at strength, mobility, nervous system, and how your body is adapting to hormonal changes.

Rooted in education + clarity. You’ll actually understand what’s happening—and what to do about it.

What working with us can help you do

Imagine…

  • Going a full day without worrying about where the nearest bathroom is
  • Feeling comfortable (and confident) during intimacy again
  • Breaking the cycle of recurrent UTIs
  • Feeling strong, connected, and in control of your body
  • Not second-guessing every symptom or wondering “is this just my life now?”

This isn’t about “going back.” It’s about moving forward in a way that actually supports your body.

You don’t have to navigate this alone

If you’ve been dismissed, confused, or stuck trying to figure this out on your own…

We see this every day. And we know how to help.

Testimonials

I highly recommend Pelvic Prescription for pelvic floor issues & bowel/bladder problems. Dr. Nicole is my PT & she is so awesome! She is very easy to talk to about personal issues like prolapsed uterus & bowel/bladder problems. She is teaching me how to strengthen my pelvic floor with home exercises. She is teaching me how to breathe when lifting my patient & when exercising. She is helping me with my bowel & bladder issues. I wish I knew about Pelvic PT years ago when my uterus first prolapsed. I was very happy to see Pelvic Prescription on social media. It’s so good to know that there are other women with pelvic floor issues, that I am not alone.
– L.B.
My daughter referred me to Pelvic Prescription as she had issues after her second child and these resolved with therapy. Oh how I wish I would have found Nicole sooner in life. I have seen improvement after only a few sessions! It’s never too late to get help and improve your quality of life!
– N.M.
Working with Amy has given me my life back. I have had chronic back and hip pain that at my age (60), combined with weak pelvic floor muscles, had gotten to the point that I was not comfortable when out in public for fear of an embarrassing accident. Not a fan of drugs or surgery, I met Amy who through patience, exercise and physical therapy has given me the confidence to once again enjoy the things I love like yoga, biking, long walks and more! She is amazing and has taught me how to manage the problems I was having in ways that I am comfortable with. I am so glad I went this route and don’t think I would have seen such good results had it not been for Amy’s kind, thoughtful, and caring approach.
– C.W.
The entire team at Pelvic Prescription is wonderful! I went to get help with some issues due to menopause and POP – things are just now getting the attention they deserve! I received excellent care and learned important exercises and breathing techniques. I am so glad I went and was able to refer others!
– E.D.
I am a post menopausal widow who had been “inactive” for over 7 years. Pelvic Prescription worked with me to rejuvenate and strengthen my muscles and give me back my life!! I highly recommend them.
– C.R.
Dr. Emily is a superb, caring, and professional physical therapist. I’ve been her patient for several months, thanks to a recommendation by a good friend, and it’s truly been a blessing. She listens, she teaches, and she cares deeply. She has truly been a lifesaver in so many ways, and I look forward to all of my appointments with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone without any hesitation.
Dr. Emily is amazing. She really helped me through my postpartum recovery including addressing diastasis recti and lower back pain. Therapy consisted of massage, stretching and some strength training. I never knew that a few weeks of PT could be so life-changing. Highly recommend!
Dr. Kristen’s professionalism and compassion made me feel completely comfortable discussing sensitive topics. She created a safe and non-judgmental environment, which allowed me to openly address my concerns and receive practical advice tailored to my needs. I left feeling empowered and informed!
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Kristen, who made what could have been a very uncomfortable conversation about female pelvic floor strength into a professional and comfortable experience. As a postmenopausal woman, discussing intimate pelvic floor issues can be daunting, but Dr. Kristen’s demeanor and expertise immediately put me at ease. She listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and provided clear explanations throughout our discussion.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kristen who has truly worked wonders! She put me at ease and worked with me to change things that I didn’t think could change. She put me back in control of my body, and I am thankful to know I can always call them/go back if ever needed. If you’re on the fence deciding whether or not to give them a try, I cannot recommend them enough.
Can’t recommend Pelvic Prescription enough! Everything from the facility to the experience with staff to the programming has been excellent. I had 4 babies in a short time period and have finally experienced progress in repairing my diastasis recti and core. I appreciate that they work WITH my athletic goals instead of counting them out. Plus, their schedule makes it easy to get in early or late, if needed. All around, 10/10!
Fantastic place. Everyone knows what they’re doing and I feel better after early visits.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nicole Worline at Pelvic Prescription. She is the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly relatable — I felt like I’d known her forever after just one visit. She’s been helping me with a rib injury, hip tightness, and my c-section shelf — something that’s been a real source of self-consciousness for me. I was also constantly running to the bathroom and feeling like I was at the mercy of my bladder — not anymore! Each week, I get personalized exercises to do at home, and I’ve truly noticed a difference in my strength, alignment, and confidence. I feel more in control of my body than I have in years. I only wish I had known about pelvic floor PT when I was pregnant — it would’ve been a game changer.
After having two babies, pelvic floor therapy here has truly changed my life. It’s helped me feel strong enough to do everyday things again—like exercise, clean up around the house, and comfortably hold my babies. The entire staff is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping you heal—not just your pelvic floor, but your whole body. They understand how everything is connected, and their care reflects that. I highly recommend this place to any mom or anyone recovering from injury. You’ll feel supported every step of the way!
I can’t recommend Dr. Nicole at Pelvic Prescription highly enough! After 10 months of daily hip and back pain postpartum — despite working with another therapist and trying various online rehab programs — I finally found real relief here. After just a few sessions, I could walk, fold laundry, and lift my baby without severe pain. The whole team is warm and welcoming, and the office is beautiful. I truly look forward to every visit. I also love their holistic approach, focusing on the whole body rather than just isolated symptoms. I’m still on my healing journey, but I’m so encouraged by my progress and so grateful I found Dr. Nicole!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Pelvic Prescription and the women there. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Amy prior to getting pregnant with my third child, and started being treated there with Dr. Lydia (who has since moved, but has been replaced by the equally amazing Dr. Kristen) at about 30 weeks pregnant. Thanks to the Pelvic Prescription team, while my labor was insane (delivered approximately 16 minutes after arriving to the hospital- so my birth plan went out the window) my recovery was relatively easy. Their personalized guidance in the exercises that were best for me both during pregnancy and postpartum were invaluable and incredibly helpful vs trying to figure it out myself. I am a stronger, healthier mom thanks to them. Not only that, but they are SO welcoming, non judgmental, and FUN to be around. Nothing is TMI for them and that’s so important when it comes to pelvic health. Additionally- they never batted an eye when I brought my gaggle of wild and crazy boys to appointments with me, which was amazing since it wasn’t/isn’t easy for me to find childcare. If you are on the fence about if you should do pelvic PT, or where to go- this is your sign to call pelvic prescription up. You are worth the time and investment to prepare and recover from pregnancy and labor!
I am 2 years postpartum and have really struggled with healing my diastasis recti. I am a very active person but constantly struggled with back and knee pain. The internet suggestions were NOT working. A friend of mine told me about Pelvic Prescription PT so I decided to check them out. I am sooo glad I did! The staff is so welcoming and Dr. Nicole is awesome!!! She is very thorough, a great listener, understanding, encouraging, and has been such a blessing in my healing journey. I have learned so much and already see results in a matter of a few weeks. Ladies, do yourself a favor and go to Pelvic Prescription. You will not be disappointed!
I had so much pain from endometriosis for over a decade that after surgery, I thought my mild pain was normal. I came to Pelvic Prescription on my surgeon’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Lydia has helped my pain already and I’m only 1/3 through the program. The ladies there are so kind and professional and actually listen to you and your needs and tailor a plan for you. Big bonus- you can bring your kiddos!
In a long journey of PTs, doctors, and feeling a bit helpless, Dr. Lydia has been very kind, caring and most importantly helping me feel at ease with treatment. She genuinely cares about helping you along to a positive outcome. Don’t hesitate from being afraid or embarrassed. I am so grateful to have started on this journey.
– Male Patient
This place is great. Clean, professional, organized. After an umbilical hernia repair I was having all sorts of issues and pelvic pain that Pelvic Prescription helped me overcome. I honestly think physical therapy should be a required recovery practice from any surgical procedure at this point; can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and the team here.
– Male Patient
Pelvic Prescription has worked with me during my pregnancy for pelvic pain. They were able to resolve my concerns quickly whereas other practices in town never fully addressed my concerns. They are truly experts and approach care in a comprehensive and individualized way. They have empowered me to be a partner in my continued physical therapy maintenance and I am very grateful for their approach. I couldn’t recommend them more.
– A.G.
Dr. Lydia saved my pelvic floor during my pregnancy journey. I ended up having severe pelvic pain and she was able to provide pelvic floor care, equip me with helpful exercises and recommended useful tools to alleviate the pain and get me back into my daily routine. Her work continued to prep myself and also my husband with labor positions and breathing techniques to assist with my delivery process. Finally, Dr. Lydia rose to the occasion once more and provided treatment postpartum to assist with strengthening my core and hips. Two main areas my body weakened through my pregnancy and postpartum phase. Dr. Lydia helped me achieve my goal of becoming a strong mom and comfortably caring for my newborn. I am beyond grateful for all Dr. Lydia offered me throughout my time at Pelvic Prescription. All the ladies at the office know you by name, even when you’re not their patient! It truly is a home-y and family environment when you walk into the room.
– A.B.
Dr. Lydia has been an absolute joy to work with. I had severe hip pain during my pregnancy. Not only did she help make my pain manageable, she gave me stretches and exercises to keep me as mobile as possible. Her birth prep helped my husband and I both feel so confident going into delivery. My postpartum recovery has been significantly better than with my first and I contribute a lot of that to the support I had from Pelvic Prescription. An absolute must for anyone who is pregnant (even if you’re not having any pain or problems!).
– K.S.
After having my baby, I couldn’t exercise without leakage problems. I had put off pelvic PT for a while because I was nervous about how the appointment would go. Dr. Amy made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I saw an immediate reduction in leakage! I’m so grateful to be able to do jumping jacks again and run around with my daughter without fear of peeing my pants.
– K.S.
I reached out to Dr. Amy a year and a half after my first child was born due to an annoyance that I’ve always been told was a “normal” part of motherhood—leakage (especially with exercise). Her approachability, kindness, and effective methods have taken me from embarrassed about my healing process (or lack thereof…), to empowered in understanding my pelvic floor, to literally wanting to shout on the rooftops “WHY HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE?!” She’s even helped address some low back/hip issues that I didn’t realize were connected to my pelvic floor. Her guidance has helped get my body back in working order and has given me the knowledge on how to exercise properly. I’m much more confident in my workouts! I honestly wasn’t sure that my symptoms were severe enough to warrant PT, but I’m glad I didn’t downplay what was going on—my treatments have made a big difference. I really think every mom deserves to have PT like this! The way Dr. Amy has taught me to understand and care for my body has made it feel like “mine” again. Highly recommend!!
– K.L.
After much research I came across Pelvic Prescription. I have a mild prolapse & the only option my OB gave me was “to do kegels”. I was frustrated, in pain & knew from the research I did there was more to it than that. After reading all their success stories, I knew I had to give them a shot. I am sooo glad I did! I drive almost 2hrs for my weekly appointment. It’s truly the highlight of my week. Dr. Nicole is an answered prayer! She’s very thorough & listens to all my concerns. She’s excellent at helping me identify problem areas & addressing it. She has tailored everything I’m doing based on where I’m at. I am still early on in my program but I have already seen progress. If you are remotely thinking of trying them out, do it! You owe it to yourself!

– L.B.
Dr. Amy and Dr. Nicole are magical humans and PTs. I came to Pelvic Prescription 2 years postpartum for diastasis recti that made my belly pooch out significantly and kept me from wearing certain clothes and performing certain workout movements. They listened to my end goal and worked from the ground up to heal my stomach. They gave me homework each week that brought me one step closer to my goals. When I told them what workouts I was doing they listened, they understood the movement, and then they watched me do the movement to make sure I was doing it safely while still healing my diastasis. If you have had a baby, are pregnant, or are going to have a baby go see them. They are so knowledgeable and caring!
– D.M.
I’ve been working with Lydia since December to manage my interstitial cystitis symptoms. She has always been there for me, moving appointments around to help me manage my flares. I cannot recommend her enough.
– A.P.
Dr. Amy has changed my life! I really thought there was something wrong with me for so long because sex was so painful. Turns out my muscles are just terribly constricted. She has helped me immensely and educated me so much on the pelvic area and the muscles in that area. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She has helped me physically as well as teaching me relaxation techniques. If you have any issues pertaining to the pelvic or lower back area definitely give her a call. She’s such a wonderful person!!!
– F.T.

These ladies helped me overcome YEARS of pelvic pain and issues that multiple doctors could not do!! I literally have a better quality of life after completing my treatment plan with them. I am so very grateful for Dr. Nicole and the compassion, knowledge, and expert care that she gave to me. Pelvic Prescription is a MUST for any woman experiencing pelvic issues!
– C.L.
I went to Dr. Amy after several months of unbearable pelvic pain and pressure, and failed attempts of getting answers from multiple ER visits, urgent care visits, and even visiting with my gynecologist and urologist. From the first appointment, I was confident that Amy would help me not only reduce or eliminate my pain but help me figure out the causes for my discomfort. With each appointment, my pain levels reduced (started around 8-9 down to a 1-2)! My mind is blown with how helpful physical therapy has been with Amy, and she’s an incredible asset in the community. Highly highly recommend!
– K.G.

I was suffering from hip pain while preparing for my first powerlifting competition and was referred to Pelvic Prescription’s free clinic. After meeting Dr. Amy and Lydia I knew working with them was going to help me. Dr. Lydia is truly an amazing physical therapist. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She challenged my way of thinking about working out and helped me engage muscles I didn’t know I needed to use. With their help I was able to stop my bladder leakage and strengthen my pelvic floor. Dr. Lydia put me to work and it paid off tenfold!
– C.C.
When I walked into Pelvic Prescription, I was literally crooked. My muscles were so tight and imbalanced that my hips were out of alignment and in so much pain with every little activity. This lasted about 2 whole months. I felt instant relief after my first appointment and I continued to see more and more improvement over the weeks, especially with the added bonus of the dry needling and cupping. I cannot thank Dr. Lydia enough for helping me this last couple of months! She’s amazing at checking in between appointments and helping me stay motivated to do my at-home exercises. I can say I am no longer crooked and my back and hip pain has greatly subsided!! I’m even slowly getting back into the gym!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
– S.P.
Seeing Amy has been absolutely life changing! How no doctor ever told me about a pelvic floor PT in 30 years of life blows my mind but I am so glad I found Amy when I did. Her knowledge and techniques have helped me not only in intimacy but also in going to the bathroom with ease and not dreading it, breathing deeper and having better cardio because of it as well as showing me how to do upkeep at home. During in-person sessions, Amy was professional, respectful and kept banter lighthearted making sure I was always comfortable. Pelvic floor PTs are not just for postpartum women but for everyone. If you are on the fence, just book the session! You will not regret it!
– J.K.
I have ridden horses all my life and as a kid I fell off a lot onto my tailbone. As I got older I had a lot of pain with urination and penetration of any kind. I had issues with going to the bathroom as well. These persisted for years and I just kind of accepted that it was a normal but unfortunate part of my life. But then I realized that I might benefit from trying pelvic floor physical therapy. I started working with Amy on my issues and now after the program I barely experience any of them anymore. Even if I have a flare-up from stress I now have the tools to deal with it super efficiently and eradicate the pain. Pelvic Prescription was absolutely life changing, it has opened my eyes to how much my pain was not normal and that there were definitely ways to fix it. My pelvic floor is stronger and more elastic now and it has helped me in so many ways. I have also found that the tools she introduced me to helped me with my weightlifting and even improved my horseback riding as well! It was so refreshing to be in an environment where such a socially neglected part of the body was spoken about so openly and healing was the number one priority. Five stars all around!
– N.B.
Can’t recommend enough! I’ve had pelvic floor issues since an injury dating back to 6th grade, and for the first time in a long time, I don’t constantly feel pain and soreness. Everybody who works there is friendly and professional; I always felt like they genuinely cared and wanted to help in any way they could.
– F.M.
This place is great. Clean, professional, organized. After an umbilical hernia repair I was having all sorts of issues and random pains that Pelvic Prescription helped me overcome. I honestly think physical therapy should be a required recovery practice from any surgical procedure at this point; can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and the team here.
– J.L.
Dr. Amy has been an incredible support as I navigate post cesarean life. Prior to pelvic floor PT I was experiencing back and hip pain, wishing I could return to running and live an active life my toddler. Amy took the time and care to help me reconnect with my body, increase awareness, and strengthen muscles I had been neglecting. She has created such a warm, welcoming environment and I have always felt so cared for. As a mom, this has been the truest blessing! She tailors sessions to meet my needs and offers virtual appointments to assess movement in your daily life- kids welcome! I could not be more thankful for her support in finding renewed confidence in myself and pain free living.
– T.B.
After suffering with scar tissue complications from my C-section SIX YEARS AGO!!….. I finally have more relief than ever before. It used to be painful if my littlest would jump on me but after treatment with Dr. Amy and a bonus of the dry needling sessions, I had relief.
– A.W.
Dr. Lydia and the team at Pelvic Prescription are great and very professional. She was a huge help during my pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I feel confident to run again postpartum and I couldn’t have done it without her assistance.
11 weeks ago I walked into Pelvic Prescription in tears as a new mom who was 3 months postpartum and feeling completely hopeless. Dr. Lydia assessed me and assured me I was going to feel normal again. And 11 weeks later I absolutely feel back to myself prior to being pregnant. The team at PP provides an individualized plan and keeps it patient-centered.
– W.G.
Amy’s compassion is amazing. I cried at the beginning of the session, but she gave me HOPE for success by the end. I want to thank you for your understanding, kindness, patience, and expertise. She was awesome to work with!
– HR
Dr. Amy has been a wonderful resource for me throughout postpartum journey. During our sessions she has helped me tune into my body and address numerous pelvic floor issues. By committing to her daily exercise recommendations I have seen much improvement. Not only has she clearly explained and guided me through therapy, she’s also a warm, encouraging coach who keeps me motivated.
– BL
I began seeing Amy to better prepare myself for child birth and postpartum. She gave me various exercises throughout my whole pregnancy to strengthen my pelvic floor. I’m finally towards the end, and she helped me go over breathing exercises and birthing positions. Amy is very informative, supportive, personable, and professional. I cannot recommend Amy enough to anyone who is pregnant or just gave birth.
– CB
I didn’t know what to expect. Amy was great. She explained everything in detail. She was genuinely concerned with helping ease the pain and finding a solution. I didn’t feel rushed. I left feeling relieved because someone was patient enough to listen and treat my pain.

I have many names for what Dr. Amy has meant to me, she’s been a “game changer,” an Angel sent from above, an answered prayer, & more! Dr. Amy is extremely patient and understanding when it comes to learning what her patients need help with. She has done a great job at creating a safe space and healthy environment, especially surrounding personal topics. She takes time to educate clients and listen well, which sadly, was a new experience for me. I’ve not had very good experiences with doctors in the past regarding pelvic issues. Dr. Amy beats the stigma that women can’t receive help with pelvic issues. Personally, she’s helped me realize that physical healing can bring healing in many other areas of our lives. ❤️‍

Prolapse & the Pelvic Floor

Feeling something isn't quite right "down there"? Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more pelvic organs fall through the vaginal canal or rectum, often due to poor pressure management or pelvic floor weakness.

Getting Started

How do I know if I need pelvic floor physical therapy?
How do I know if I need pelvic floor physical therapy?

You might need pelvic floor therapy if you’re dealing with any of these problems:

  • Urinary Issues: Like leaking pee, feeling a strong need to go often (more than 7 times a day), or trouble starting to pee.

  • Bowel Issues: Constipation, leaking poop, or having a hard time emptying your bowels.

  • Pelvic Pain: Pain in the lower belly, genitals, tailbone, or pubic area. This can include pain during sex, inserting tampons, or during gynecological exams.

  • Pregnancy and Postpartum: If you have pain, leaking, or pressure during pregnancy, or if you’re recovering after giving birth (especially if there was tearing).

  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Feeling heaviness or pressure in the vagina, which could mean organs are shifting or dropping.

  • Low Back or Hip Pain: Chronic pain in these areas might be linked to the pelvic floor.

  • Other Conditions: Endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, or recovering from surgeries like a hysterectomy or hernia repair.

Pelvic physical therapy helps to strengthen and relax the muscles in your pelvic area, which can ease these symptoms and help you get back to feeling like yourself again! If you’re not sure if this therapy is right for you, a consultation can help you decide.

Will pelvic floor therapy work for me?
Will pelvic floor therapy work for me?

Pelvic floor therapy can be very effective, but it works best for those who are committed to the process. The people who see the most success are the ones who show up for their appointments, follow the treatment plan their Doctor of Physical Therapy creates, and practice their exercises at home. It’s about taking small, consistent steps toward your goals.

If you’re ready to take charge of your health and stay active—even after therapy ends—pelvic floor therapy can absolutely work for you! We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Pelvic floor therapy might not be the right fit if you’re unable to commit to regular appointments or don’t have time to make changes at home. It’s also less effective for those who jump between different treatments or expect immediate results. Being inconsistent will slow down your progress. Success takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to follow the plan your Doctor of Physical Therapy creates for you.

If you’re ready to put in the effort, we’re here to help you achieve lasting results!

How do I set up an evaluation?
How do I set up an evaluation?

The first step is setting up a phone consultation with our Patient Care Coordinator. Set aside 15-20 minutes for your phone consultation. You may select a time here: https://link.srvcsndr.com/widget/bookings/pelvicprescriptionconsult 

During your phone consultation, please have your schedule handy so that you can reserve your evaluation appointment. We hold a couple of evaluation slots each week for new patients. Due to limited evaluation spots each week, we require a $75 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. Don’t worry if you need to reschedule your appointment, you may do so and still apply your deposit to your rescheduled appointment time without losing it!

Your first visit will be with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy. We’ll start by spending 10-15 minutes talking about your medical history, your current condition, and what goals you want to achieve. After that, your therapist will watch how you move and take a closer look at the area that’s bothering you to figure out what might be causing your symptoms at its root cause.

Based on what we find, we’ll put together a personalized plan and recommend the best course of treatment to help you get back to enjoying your life!

No, you do not need a referral to see a pelvic floor physical therapist in North Carolina, as it is a direct access state, meaning that you do not need a referral. However, some insurance plans might require a referral for coverage or reimbursement from a superbill, so it’s a good idea to check with your healthcare plan if you plan on submitting to your insurance on your own.
