Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Studio and Clinic Policies
- 01Pelvic 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.
- 02During 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.

- 04The 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.
- 05Core 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.

- 10Every 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.
- 11If 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.
- 12Patients 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.
