Annual Wellness Visits
Establishing an ongoing relationship with a pelvic health specialist provides a convenient, preventive, and personalized approach to maintaining function and preventing long-term pelvic floor problems that may affect bowel, bladder, and sexual function. It is an empowering, and cost-effective means of monitoring and addressing issues early, often reducing the need for more invasive medical and/or surgical interventions down the road.
A virtual annual pelvic health physical therapy visit complements the care you receive from your other annual providers, offering a comprehensive approach to pelvic well-being.
An annual wellness visit with a pelvic health physical therapist can help with:
Preventive Care
Identifying and addressing early signs of pelvic floor dysfunction such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, chronic constipation … often before they start!
Evaluation and Education
Assess your current medical history, symptoms, and habits, and offer suggestions for maintenance or improved function through exercise, posture, breathing strategies and lifestyle modifications.
Support
Ongoing support and follow-up care, especially important for women during the childbearing year(s), those with chronic medical conditions likely to alter pelvic floor health and function and those recovering from colorectal, abdominal and urogynecological surgeries.
Peace of Mind
Discussing your current pelvic health history, concerns, and goals with a pelvic health specialist, can provide peace of mind and suggestions for managing symptoms or seeking necessary treatment.
