I do accept Medicare part B. Otherwise, I am considered an out of network provider. You will need to call your insurance company to find out if you can be reimbursed. I require payment for each visit up front. After your session, I will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

First, we will talk about your symptoms and how it is affecting your everyday life. Then, we assess your posture and alignment, your range of motion, your strength, your muscle length and tone, your balance, your gait and/or functional movements. On the first visit, I also provide treatment that can include manual therapy, behavioral modifications, and exercise.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is similar to orthopaedic physical therapy, except you have the option to undergo an internal vaginal exam or an internal rectal exam. This involves one gloved finger placed into the opening to palpate the pelvic floor and other internal structures directly.

Yes, we accept HSA cards as well as credit cards, checks, and/or cash.

You can wear anything you want; however, people are most comfortable wearing clothes they can move around in. Tennis shoes are usually best.

Yes, I can treat men for any orthopaedic issue and/or pelvic floor issue.

No, the internal examination is completely optional. However, it provides valuable feedback that can be key to providing the treatment you need. I always encourage you to try it, but respect your decision not to. We can palpate the pelvic floor externally if necessary and perform treatment to areas surrounding the pelvic floor like the low back, hips, abdominals, and lower legs.

Kegels are not always the answer. Often in cases of pelvic pain and constipation, the pelvic floor can be in a hypertonic state, which means kegels could be making your symptoms worse. Also, many people do not understand how to do a kegel properly. The internal examination performed in pelvic floor physical therapy provides good feedback to determine if you should continue doing kegels and how to do them properly. Also, pelvic floor physical therapy involves looking at the low back and lower extremities to see how they are contributing to your symptoms.

If you have Medicare part B, a referral is needed. Otherwise, you do not need a referral.

Initial evaluations are 150 minutes and follow up treatments are 45-55 minutes.

I can treat any orthopaedic conditions that involve the neck, low back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. I also treat pelvic floor conditions such as urinary and fecal leakage, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, and overactive bladder.
