## FAQs

- [I had a c-section, so what is pelvic PT going to do for me?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-had-a-c-section-so-what-is-pelvic-pt-going-to-do-for-me/) - If you had a c-section, you might actually need pelvic floor therapy even more than someone who had a vaginal birth! Here’s why: Many postpartum problems stem from the physical demands of pregnancy itself. During pregnancy, your joints and pelvic floor muscles are under constant strain from carrying your baby. This can weaken or overly
- [I already have a doula, chiropractor, midwife, or OBGYN—what would pelvic PT do for me?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-already-have-a-doula-chiropractor-midwife-or-obgyn-what-would-pelvic-pt-do-for-me/) - Pelvic PTs bring a unique skill set that complements your other birth team members. We are the only providers trained in internal pelvic floor muscle examination and treatment. The tools and techniques you’ll learn during your pelvic PT sessions are not covered by any other birth provider. This is crucial because if your pelvic floor
- [When should I start going to pelvic PT if I am pregnant?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/when-should-i-start-going-to-pelvic-pt-if-i-am-pregnant/) - If you are experiencing any symptoms, then ASAP! Symptoms include but are not limited to: Pubic Bone Pain, Lightning Crotch, Round Ligament Pain, Hip Pain, Back Pain, SI Joint Pain, Sciatica, Pelvic Heaviness, Prolapse, and Leakage. Some patients start their prenatal PT journey in the first trimester, especially if they’re experiencing aches and pains. This
- [Is it bad to do ab or core exercises when pregnant?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-it-bad-to-do-ab-or-core-exercises-when-pregnant/) - No, it's not bad to do core exercises while pregnant! This is a common myth that isn’t backed by evidence. In fact, avoiding all core exercises during pregnancy can lead to less favorable healing outcomes. When you skip core exercises, your muscles weaken, making it harder for them to support your body as it changes.
- [Is my hip pain connected to my pelvic floor?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-my-hip-pain-connected-to-my-pelvic-floor/) - Yes, it’s possible! Your hip muscles are closely linked to your pelvic floor muscles. Sometimes, tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles can refer pain to your hips, making it seem like a hip issue when it’s actually your pelvic floor. This is why our focus is treating the root cause of your hip pain for
- [Is my back pain connected to my pelvic floor?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-my-back-pain-connected-to-my-pelvic-floor/) - Yes, it’s possible! Your pelvic floor muscles work closely with your core, hips, and lower back to provide support and stability for your body. If your pelvic floor muscles are tight, weak, or not functioning properly, they can cause or contribute to lower back pain, SI joint pain, and tailbone pain. In some cases, back
- [What makes pelvic floor therapy different from going to my orthopedic physical therapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor for my hip or back pain?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-makes-pelvic-floor-therapy-different-from-going-to-my-orthopedic-physical-therapist-massage-therapist-or-chiropractor-for-my-hip-or-back-pain/) - The main difference is that a pelvic floor physical therapist can examine and treat your pelvic floor muscles, while other providers typically cannot. This is crucial because your pelvic floor muscles might be the missing piece to your pain! Your pelvic floor is at the center of your body, and tension or dysfunction in these
- [Can diastasis heal with physical therapy?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-diastasis-heal-with-physical-therapy/) - Yes! Diastasis can heal with physical therapy. A normal separation is about 1 finger width. We take a whole-body approach to treat diastasis, which includes assessing pelvic floor function, addressing abdominal restrictions and weakness, checking for gut health issues related to bloating, and treating scar tissue, among other factors. By optimizing all these areas, we
- [Do I need surgery for my prolapse?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-need-surgery-for-my-prolapse/) - That’s entirely up to you! However, keep in mind that prolapse repair surgery isn’t always a permanent fix. Studies show that many people who undergo surgery may still experience symptoms, like leakage and pelvic pressure, within two years. Why? Because without pelvic PT, you don't learn how to move and use your pelvic floor muscles
- [Do I have to stop lifting if I have a prolapse?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-have-to-stop-lifting-if-i-have-a-prolapse/) - No! Lifting heavy does not increase the risk of prolapse. In fact, research shows that women who lift heavier weights tend to have a lower instance of prolapse compared to those who only lift lighter weights. Why? Because women who lift heavier are generally stronger overall, which includes having a stronger pelvic floor. The key
- [Can you help me manage my IC pain?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-you-help-me-manage-my-ic-pain/) - Yes! Pelvic floor therapy has grade A evidence for effectiveness according to the IUA guidelines, even more so than some medications like Elmiron. While managing Interstitial Cystitis (IC) often requires a multidisciplinary approach, pelvic PT plays a key role by addressing the musculoskeletal dysfunctions that can worsen your pain.
- [Can you help me manage my endometriosis pain?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-you-help-me-manage-my-endometriosis-pain/) - Yes! While endometriosis is a complex condition that requires a full healthcare team, pelvic floor therapy can significantly help reduce the pain you’re experiencing. Endometriosis pain often stems from both the condition itself and the tension in the pelvic floor muscles. By addressing these muscles, pelvic PT can help alleviate some of your discomfort. Pelvic
- [I already did a birth education class; what would a birth prep session with a pelvic PT do for me?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-already-did-a-birth-education-class-what-would-a-birth-prep-session-with-a-pelvic-pt-do-for-me/) - A 1:1 birth prep session with a pelvic PT offers a unique experience that goes beyond what you learn in a general birth education class. In these personalized sessions, you receive an individualized assessment of how your body and pelvic floor function in different birthing positions and how your pelvic floor muscles respond when you
- [I am pregnant. Should I ask my OBGYN if it’s safe for me to do Pelvic PT?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-am-pregnant-should-i-ask-my-obgyn-if-its-safe-for-me-to-do-pelvic-pt/) - The only reason you would need to avoid pelvic PT during pregnancy is if your OBGYN has placed you on bed rest. Otherwise, pelvic PT is a very safe and conservative way to support your pregnancy, so you don’t need specific approval from your OBGYN. We do ask for your OB to provide a “clearance”
- [Do I have to have an internal exam?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-have-to-have-an-internal-exam/) - An internal exam is never required. Your comfort is our top priority. However, if you choose to have one, know that our physical therapists are highly trained, trauma-sensitive, and have between 4 to 7 years of experience in pelvic floor therapy, thus having done thousands of exams. The internal exam provides valuable information, helping us
- [Will doing therapy be harmful after my surgery?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/will-doing-therapy-be-harmful-after-my-surgery/) - Physical therapy is not harmful after surgery. In fact, physical therapy actually prevents you from re-injurying yourself and improves post-operative outcomes. Physical therapy is a conservative and gentle intervention; your Doctor of Physical Therapy has specialized training in tissue healing and post-op rehabilitation and will help guide you in regaining mobility and strength for lasting
- [How soon after surgery can I start therapy?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/how-soon-after-surgery-can-i-start-therapy/) - This depends on your type of surgery and your surgeon’s post-surgical precautions. During your pre-surgery consultations, ask your surgeon what your precautions will be post-op and when you can start physical therapy. Generally, we will begin to see patients at 4-6 weeks post-op, but it may be sooner if you are losing a significant amount
- [How can pelvic floor PT help bowel issues?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/how-can-pelvic-floor-pt-help-bowel-issues/) - Pelvic floor physical therapy can teach you how to retrain your muscles and adopt healthier bathroom habits. We’ll show you techniques to reduce straining and improve bowel movements, helping prevent complications like pelvic organ prolapse, chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, urinary leakage, and pelvic pain. By learning how to relax and properly use your muscles,
- [Is it bad to strain when pooping?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-it-bad-to-strain-when-pooping/) - Yes! Straining or spending too much time on the toilet can weaken your pelvic floor and lead to problems like prolapse, hemorrhoids, constipation, leakage, and pain. This can make pooping even more difficult in the long run.
- [Can pelvic floor therapy help with constipation?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-pelvic-floor-therapy-help-with-constipation/) - Yes! Constipation is often caused by multiple factors, including hydration, fiber intake, lifestyle habits, gut health, stress, and the physical mechanics of bowel movements. In pelvic PT, we’ll assess each of these factors to identify what might be affecting your regularity. Often, pelvic floor tightness can make it difficult to have a bowel movement. In
- [I have finger-width diastasis—can you fix that?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-have-__-finger-width-diastasis-can-you-fix-that/) - Yes! Regardless of how many fingers wide your diastasis is, pelvic floor therapy can help. The wider the separation, the more time it might take, but with the right approach, you’ll gain the tools to support healing and prevent it from getting worse. We're here to guide you every step of the way!
- [Do I need surgery for my diastasis?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-need-surgery-for-my-diastasis/) - That’s entirely up to you! In most cases, surgery isn’t necessary. Many women find that physical therapy is enough to effectively heal their diastasis. In more severe cases, some women choose to have surgery, but they often benefit from doing physical therapy both before and after the procedure to support the best outcomes.
- [What exercises are safe for diastasis?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-exercises-are-safe-for-diastasis/) - A common misconception is that you have to stop all ab and core exercises if you have diastasis and stick only to “safe” ones. This belief isn’t based on any evidence. The truth is, every person with diastasis requires an individualized assessment to determine which exercises are appropriate. With proper rehab and retraining of the
- [What is diastasis?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-is-diastasis/) - Diastasis is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (the "six-pack" muscles). This often happens during pregnancy to create more space for the baby to grow. Diastasis can be more pronounced in women with multiple pregnancies or those carrying multiples. While some women’s diastasis heals on its own after giving birth, others may need pelvic
- [What exercises are safe for prolapse?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-exercises-are-safe-for-prolapse/) - It depends on you! The safety of specific exercises varies based on how well you use your pelvic floor and core during each movement. A pelvic floor PT can assess what your pelvic floor is doing to support your prolapse during different exercises to help you find the ones that are safe and beneficial for
- [Can you get my prolapse to go back in?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-you-get-my-prolapse-to-go-back-in/) - It depends! Prolapse happens when the demands on the pelvic floor are greater than what the muscles can handle, or when there’s too much pressure on them. Pelvic floor therapy focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor and core muscles to provide better support for your organs, which can help reduce or even prevent the downward
- [What is pelvic organ prolapse?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-is-pelvic-organ-prolapse/) - Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition where one or more of the pelvic organs shift downward and may bulge into the vaginal canal or rectum. It’s common, especially after childbirth, because of the extra demands placed on the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy. Prolapse can become more severe with prolonged labor and pushing during
- [Will it hurt my progress if I have sex even though it is painful?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/will-it-hurt-my-progress-if-i-have-sex-even-though-it-is-painful/) - It depends, as every person is different. For some, attempting sex when it's painful can cause the pelvic floor muscles to become even more tense, potentially worsening symptoms. If this sounds like you, it's important to work with your pelvic PT to create a plan for changing your pelvic floor's response before resuming sexual activity.
- [Why do I have pain with sex? Is something wrong with me?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/why-do-i-have-pain-with-sex-is-something-wrong-with-me/) - Pain with sex is usually caused by overactive or tense pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles become too tight, they can create a "wall-like" sensation at the entrance of the vaginal canal, making penetration difficult or even impossible. This tension can also make pelvic exams or using tampons uncomfortable. But this doesn't mean something is
- [What if I don’t want to do the internal exam?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-if-i-dont-want-to-do-the-internal-exam/) - No problem! You are in control of your treatment. We will do everything we can to teach you how to help yourself at home with tools and techniques and answer questions as they come up on your journey.
- [Does the internal exam with a pelvic floor PT hurt?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/does-the-internal-exam-with-a-pelvic-floor-pt-hurt/) - We see patients with pelvic pain everyday. We can perform internal and external pelvic floor, nerve and tissue assessments to see what the root cause of your pain is. Our internal exams and treatments are with one gloved single digit inserted internally– no uncomfy speculums ever! We never want your pain to go above 3-4/10
- [Why did no one tell me about pelvic PT before?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/why-did-no-one-tell-me-about-pelvic-pt-before/) - Pelvic floor PT awareness has only started to grow in the last 5-10 years, thanks to more women advocating for themselves. The lack of awareness or skepticism around pelvic floor therapy might be why it wasn’t mentioned to you. Many of our postpartum patients ask the same question! This is why we’re committed to spreading
- [Will it get better on its own?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/will-it-get-better-on-its-own/) - It’s unlikely that postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction will heal on its own. Many women dismiss pelvic floor issues until they become major problems, but waiting often means more time and visits are needed to resolve them. If you’re planning on future pregnancies, these conditions can worsen over time. Early intervention with pelvic floor therapy can
- [Do I need an abdominal binder?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-need-an-abdominal-binder/) - No, you don’t need an abdominal binder. In fact, for some people, an abdominal binder can increase pressure on the pelvic floor and delay healing, potentially raising the risk of leakage and prolapse. Instead, we recommend wearing comfy clothing and compression leggings or shorts to support blood flow and lymphatic drainage after birth. If you’ve
- [Can I do sit-ups?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/can-i-do-sit-ups/) - Yes, you can do sit-ups again, but timing and technique are key. Before returning to sit-ups, it’s important to first rebuild your foundational core strength. Once you’ve built up to the point where sit-ups are safe, you need to make sure you’re not putting extra pressure on your pelvic floor and core while performing them.
- [What should I look for to know if my body isn't tolerating exercise postpartum?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-should-i-look-for-to-know-if-my-body-isnt-tolerating-exercise-postpartum/) - Some signs that your body might not be tolerating exercise include an increase in vaginal bleeding, leakage, pressure, or pain. These symptoms suggest you may have over-exerted yourself and need to scale back. For example, if you’re two weeks postpartum and go for a 1-mile walk, but then notice heavier bleeding afterward, it’s a sign
- [When can I go back to…running/HIIT/CrossFit/etc.?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/when-can-i-go-back-torunning-hiit-crossfit-etc/) - It’s best to wait until 12 weeks postpartum before returning to high-impact activities. Why? Jumping back into intense exercise too early without building back your foundation can lead to postpartum issues like leakage, prolapse, diastasis, and pain in the future– especially after multiple pregnancies. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you have to be sedentary
- [Why is seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist beneficial postpartum? ](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/why-is-seeing-a-pelvic-floor-physical-therapist-beneficial-postpartum/) - Many women continue to hold onto patterns from pregnancy into postpartum, which can lead to long-term issues like chronic pain, leakage, pressure, and discomfort. A thorough evaluation with a pelvic floor PT will help you safely rebuild strength and prevent these problems as you continue your recovery.
- [Do I have to wait until 6 weeks to exercise?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-i-have-to-wait-until-6-weeks-to-exercise/) - It depends on the type of exercise! We actually recommend starting gentle mobility and stabilization exercises in the first couple of weeks postpartum. Why? Research shows that after just 1-2 days of immobility, muscle mass begins to atrophy. This can be especially challenging for a new mom who needs strength to care for her baby.
- [Is it normal to have pain during pregnancy?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-it-normal-to-have-pain-during-pregnancy/) - No, it is not normal to experience pain during pregnancy. While you may feel some discomfort from your baby pushing on your ribs or bladder, you should never be in pain. Many providers might tell you that pain is “normal,” but if that were true, why do only about 50% of pregnant women experience it?
- [I am pregnant but don’t have any problems. Will pelvic floor therapy help me?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-am-pregnant-but-dont-have-any-problems-will-pelvic-floor-therapy-help-me/) - Absolutely! Many pregnant women come to us not because of a problem, but to ensure they’re doing safe and effective exercises throughout their pregnancy. We work with women to prevent pregnancy or postpartum conditions, such as urinary leakage, fecal leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pressure, pain during intercourse, diastasis recti, and general pain. Consistent prenatal
- [What are safe exercises for pregnancy?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-are-safe-exercises-for-pregnancy/) - A common misconception about pregnancy is that you need to stop exercising or only do “pregnancy-safe” exercises. This belief isn’t backed by evidence. In fact, most exercises you did before pregnancy are safe to continue! A few exceptions: Lying on your back: After the first trimester, about 25% of women may feel lightheaded when lying
- [Do you see pregnant women?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/do-you-see-pregnant-women/) - Yes! Nearly one-third of our patients are pregnant, ranging from the first to the third trimester. Our Doctors have advanced training in assessing and treating pregnant women. For those seeking pregnancy support, we focus on managing pain related to pregnancy, such as back or hip pain, pubic bone pain, "lightning crotch," round ligament pain, SI
- [What if I do pelvic floor exercises on my own at home?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-if-i-do-pelvic-floor-exercises-on-my-own-at-home/) - While you might find plenty of pelvic floor exercises online, we don’t recommend following a program without professional guidance. The reason is simple: not all exercises are safe or appropriate for every condition. For example, contrary to popular belief, doing Kegel exercises can actually worsen symptoms if you have an overactive or tense pelvic floor.
- [I didn’t do my PT homework—Should I cancel my appointment?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-didnt-do-my-pt-homework-should-i-cancel-my-appointment/) - No worries! You should still come in for your appointment. Your physical therapist plans each visit to meet you where you are, so you’ll still benefit from the session. Skipping a week can slow down your progress, so it's best to keep your appointment. If you’re finding it hard to do your homework, let your
- [I started my period—Should I cancel my appointment?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/i-started-my-period-should-i-cancel-my-appointment/) - There’s no need to cancel your appointment! Having your period won’t impact your treatment plan. We can still do an internal exam if you’re comfortable with it. However, if you prefer not to do internal therapy during your period, that’s perfectly fine. Your therapist will focus on a whole-body approach, addressing areas outside the pelvis
- [Should I ask my doctor if I should do pelvic floor physical therapy?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/should-i-ask-my-doctor-if-i-should-do-pelvic-floor-physical-therapy/) - You can ask your doctor, but keep in mind that many doctors aren’t specialized in pelvic floor conditions. To get the most accurate information, it’s often more helpful to speak directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in pelvic health. We can provide a thorough evaluation and discuss the best options for your
- [What is the difference between seeing an out-of-network provider vs. using my insurance?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-is-the-difference-between-seeing-an-out-of-network-provider-vs-using-my-insurance/)
- [What type of conditions do you treat in men?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/what-type-of-conditions-do-you-treat-in-men/) - Men can experience many of the same pelvic floor problems as women. Some of the male pelvic health conditions we treat include: Urinary problems Urinary leakage Urinary urgency and frequency Incomplete bladder emptying Post-Surgical Pre- and post-prostatectomy Pre- and post-hernia repair Bowel Issues Constipation Fecal leakage Pain or discomfort Hip pain Back pain Sciatica Lower
- [Is pelvic floor therapy worth it?](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/faq/is-pelvic-floor-therapy-worth-it/) - Think about it this way: most people with incontinence spend between $50-$200 every month on pads. That adds up to around $2,400 a year! On average, people wait seven years before seeking help from a pelvic floor therapist. That means spending up to $16,800 on pads alone. Now, let’s compare that to pelvic floor therapy.

- ["Made me feel like my body is "mine" again."](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/testimonials/made-me-feel-like-my-body-is-mine-again/) - I reached out to Dr. Amy about PT 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!!

- ["Gave me my life back."](https://www.pushprepacademy.com/testimonials/gave-me-my-life-back/) - 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.
