30. Why One Pelvic Floor Visit Isn’t Enough: The Importance of Consistent Care


Listen Later

Today’s episode topic is one that’s cropped up quite a bit recently for both of us, so we knew we had to dive into it here!



In today’s episode, we’re discussing why one pelvic floor visit isn’t enough, and the importance of consistent care. We’re sometimes asked if coming in for *one* visit and doing the follow-up care on your own will work, but the truth is..it won’t. 



The comprehensive nature of our pelvic floor therapy evaluations are super important; we take our work very seriously, and put a great deal of time, effort, and energy into our clinics. While we can learn a lot from the initial session with a patient, the follow-up visits are KEY; this is where the magic happens!



Pelvic floor issues are never a ‘single issue’ type of treatment, and change takes time - especially if you’ve had this dysfunction going on for a while. The work you do in pelvic floor therapy is not going to be a ‘quick fix’, and the commitment piece is VITAL if you’re looking to have lasting results.



We’re committed to every single person who walks into our room, and will always provide the best care and guidance possible. If you’re struggling with pelvic floor issues or are simply looking to optimize your health & wellness, we hope you find this episode valuable + are reminded that one pelvic floor visit is NOT enough!!




In this episode, Why One Pelvic Floor Visit Isn’t Enough, we’re covering:

  • Why the comprehensive nature of the pelvic floor therapy evaluations matter + should be appreciated
  • Reasons why one pelvic floor therapy session is NOT enough 
  • Understanding that certain care and treatments are going to take time
  • Why your follow-up appointments are essential 
  • Realizing that nothing necessarily has to be ‘wrong’ in order for you to do pelvic floor therapy + why the commitment piece is important
  • Expectations vs. reality of your initial visit
  • What to do between therapy sessions
