Let’s talk about it

A few questions you might have.

View all FAQs

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a relatively new specialty at the intersection of physical therapy, gynecology, and urology. Like traditional physical therapy, it employs hands-on techniques and exercises to rehabilitate an injured body part. But instead of treating the shoulder or knee, for example, it focuses on the pelvic floor in order to treat vaginal pain, painful intercourse, bowel and bladder problems, and several prenatal and postpartum conditions. Evidence-based studies are proving the effectiveness of pelvic floor physical therapy, and women around the world are testaments to its success.

What can I expect during a therapy session?

You’ll spend a full, uninterrupted 50 to 60 minutes one-on-one with a physical or occupational therapist. That gives us time to listen, explain, and answer your questions.

Do you accept insurance?

Raquel K Perlis Physical Therapy is an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice. We provide receipts and statements with procedure codes for you to submit to your insurer. Please check your out-of-network benefits. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
