Of course! Pelvic floor physical therapy can be beneficial throughout pregnancy. Care is individualized to you, your pregnancy, your symptoms, and your goals.
Not to get started. Texas allows eligible physical therapists to provide treatment without a physician referral for up to 30 consecutive calendar days.
If care is needed beyond that time, a referral is required. A referral for “Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy” from your healthcare provider allows us to continue your care without interruption.
Anchor & Heart is a cash-based practice and does not bill insurance directly. Upon request, you can be provided with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies by insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
Yes! Everyone has a pelvic floor. Anchor & Heart provides specialized pelvic health care for both women and men.
Appointments are typically 45–60 minutes and are one-on-one, allowing time to listen, assess, treat, and answer your questions.
Expect an in-depth conversation about what brought you in, followed by a whole-body assessment and specific measurements when appropriate. We’ll talk about what we find, develop a home program, and create a plan for moving forward together.
Whatever makes you comfortable! Wear clothing that allows you to move easily. Shorts, comfortable or unrestricted pants, athletic clothing, or a dress can all work well.
When possible, I recommend at least one visit before surgery. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what to expect, establish a baseline, and make a plan for your recovery.
After surgery, the appropriate time to begin or resume treatment depends on the procedure and your individual recovery. Many patients are cleared for more involved rehabilitation around 6–8 weeks after surgery, although some aspects of recovery support may begin sooner. We’ll work within your surgeon’s recommendations and your body’s healing timeline.
No. An internal pelvic floor examination can provide valuable information, but it is never required. When appropriate, it can help you understand what your pelvic floor muscles are actually doing and, more importantly, how to reconnect with and use them effectively. Most people have never been taught how their pelvic floor works—and that’s okay. The goal of any assessment is to give you a better understanding of your body and help guide your care.
