Q1: What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor therapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. It helps treat pain, weakness, or dysfunction through manual therapy, exercise, and education.

Q2: Who can benefit from pelvic therapy?

Anyone experiencing pelvic pain, urinary leakage, constipation, postpartum discomfort, or sexual pain can benefit — regardless of age or gender.

Q3: What should I expect at my first visit?

Your therapist will review your medical history, discuss symptoms and goals, and perform a gentle assessment to create a personalized treatment plan. Sessions are always private, respectful, and guided at your comfort level.

Q4: Do I need a referral?

In most cases, you can see a pelvic floor physical therapist directly in California without a doctor’s referral. If needed, we can help coordinate with your provider.

Q5: How many sessions will I need?

Every case is unique. Some clients see improvement within a few visits, while others benefit from a longer, structured program for lasting results.

Q6. Is pelvic floor therapy covered by insurance?

At Pelvicology, we operate as an out-of-network, cash-based practice, which means we are not directly contracted with most insurance plans. This approach allows us to give you the care you deserve — individualized, unhurried, and completely focused on you, not insurance restrictions.

Traditional in-network therapy often limits session time, requires pre-authorizations, and dictates what treatments can be provided. By staying out of network, we can focus fully on your healing — using the most effective, evidence-based techniques without compromise. Each session is one-on-one, private, and tailored to your unique goals.

For your convenience, we provide a detailed superbill that includes all the medical codes and documentation needed for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients receive partial reimbursement depending on their plan.
