Question 1

What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues in the pelvis. It helps with issues like leaking, constipation, pelvic pain, prolapse, painful sex, or core instability. We use education, hands-on techniques, movement retraining, and behavior coaching to help you reconnect with your body and regain control.

Question 2

What should I expect during a pelvic floor PT session?

Accepted Answer

During your first pelvic floor PT session, we’ll discuss your concerns, goals, habits, and medical history in detail. We’ll assess your movement patterns and posture, and if you’re comfortable, offer an internal exam (using a gloved finger, no stirrups or speculum). Every step is done with your full consent and explained thoroughly.

Question 3

How do I start physical therapy at Core Moves?

Accepted Answer

To get started, just fill out our appointment request form (https://preview.pelvibiz.com/widget/form/b6C78ojoWHYFPcdcetkd)or call/text us at 614-500-3498. We’ll connect you with a skilled pelvic floor physical therapist for a one-on-one evaluation and build a plan tailored to your goals.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions needed varies based on your goals and starting point. Some clients feel better after a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing support to build strength, coordination, and confidence. We’ll create a personalized plan and reassess as you progress. Typically, patients are seen weekly for several months. Consistency is key, and each plan is tailored to individual needs.

Question 5

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Core Moves is a cash-based (out-of-network) physical therapy and Pilates studio. This allows us to provide longer, more individualized sessions without being limited by insurance restrictions on visit length, frequency, or treatment methods.
Many patients choose this model because it allows us to focus on you and your outcomes — not what an insurance company will or won’t cover.
We’re happy to provide a superbill upon request so you may submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan.

Question 6

Can I use HSA or FSA funds?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most patients are able to use HSA and FSA cards for physical therapy and Pilates services that are part of a medical care plan.
If your plan requires documentation, we can provide receipts or supporting information to help with reimbursement or recordkeeping.

Question 7

Do you offer payment plans or financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We accept CareCredit, which allows qualified patients to finance care over time and break treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.
This can be especially helpful for those committing to a structured care plan or treatment package.

Question 8

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept:
 • Credit cards
 • Debit cards
 • Checks
 • HSA/FSA cards
 • CareCredit
Payment is due at the time of service unless you are enrolled in a package or financing plan.

Question 9

Do you offer discounts for packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer discounted pricing when sessions are purchased as part of a package or care plan.
Packages are designed to support consistency and progress while providing better overall value compared to single-session rates.

Question 10

Why don’t you offer “guaranteed” treatment plans with a fixed number of visits?

Accepted Answer

Every body is different — and healing is not linear, especially with pelvic pain.
While we often recommend an estimated range of visits based on your evaluation and goals, it isn’t always possible (or ethical) to promise a fixed number of sessions upfront. Progress depends on many factors including:
 • Symptom complexity
 • Nervous system sensitivity
 • Movement patterns
 • Consistency with home practice
 • Lifestyle and stress factors
Your plan of care is continuously adjusted based on your response to treatment.
Some patients progress quickly. Others benefit from additional sessions to fully stabilize gains and prevent setbacks. But if you are ready to take the journey, we are here to support you as long as it takes.

Question 11

What happens if I need more sessions than expected?

Accepted Answer

If your body needs more support than originally anticipated, we’ll talk with you openly and collaboratively.
You are always in control of your care decisions. There is no pressure to continue beyond what feels appropriate for your goals, timeline, and budget.
Our priority is helping you move forward safely and sustainably — not rushing you through a rigid protocol.

Question 12

Why do patients choose a cash-based clinic like Core Moves?

Accepted Answer

Patients often choose Core Moves because they value:
 • One-on-one, uninterrupted sessions
 • Longer appointment times
 • Highly individualized care
 • Advanced pelvic health and movement expertise
 • Freedom from insurance-driven limitations
 • A collaborative, whole-body approach to healing
This model allows us to provide the depth of care that complex pelvic and movement conditions often require.

Question 13

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Thanks to direct access laws in Ohio, you can see a physical therapist without a referral.

Question 14

I'm nervous about internal exam. Do I have to have one?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many people benefit greatly from pelvic PT without internal work. We can focus on breathing, movement, posture, and external release techniques to support your goals. You’re always in charge of what happens during your sessions.

Question 15

Can I still come if I am on my period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. If you'd prefer to skip internal work that day, just let your therapist know—we can adapt the session to your comfort.

Question 16

Do you treat men at Core Moves?

Accepted Answer

Yes — absolutely.
Core Moves provides pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapy care for all genders, including men.
Men commonly seek care for concerns such as:
 • Pelvic pain
 • Hip, groin, or low back pain
 • Core dysfunction and diastasis-type symptoms
 • Post-prostate surgery recovery
 • Urinary or bowel symptoms
 • Sexual health–related concerns
 • Sports and performance-related movement issues
Our approach focuses on the entire movement system — not just one body part — and is tailored to each individual’s goals and needs.
