FAQ

Great question, in true physical therapy form… It depends !

Most of our patients see us for 10-16 visits to completely resolve their symptoms and optimize their pelvic floor and live life to the fullest! 

Others love us so much they come back for optimization/maintenance every few months as they achieve performance levels and soar to higher activity and personal bests.

It all depends on what is going on, how long your symptoms have been bothering you and your goals. Each plan of care is individualized to each person. We treat based on symptoms and what your body needs to find lasting relief for long term benefits.

We follow our unique and comprehensive 4 phases of treatment.

In phase 1 and 2 of treatment, we typically see patients 2 times a week for 1 hour appointments until we figure out all of the contributing parts and focus on symptom resolution (meaning you are no longer having the issues you had when you came in). 

Typically most physical therapy places will discharge or graduate you after phase 2, because “insurance doesn’t pay for adding back in activities.” What makes Reborn unique, and unlike any other practice, is that we care so deeply about getting you lasting results and getting you to cross the finish line! We have a phase 3 and 4 to take you through!

In phase 3, the “building resiliency phase,” of treatment as we “add back” in things that you want to be doing ie. running, jumping, sex, lifting, sport, or new activities etc. During this phase of treatment we drop down the frequency of visits (one time a week to every other week). 

Remember when your past PT told you… “sorry, you have to discharge to a home program, your insurance won’t cover that…” or sorry, “your insurance limits your visits to 6…” NOPE,  NOT HERE!!! We will take you to the finish line!

You cross that finish line at phase 4. Once you have added back in everything and are doing well without symptoms still then you get to transition to the “Optimal Pelvic Floor Phase,” meaning you are living life to the fullest without even thinking about your pelvic floor. In phase 4, we transition you to a health and wellness phase and you come back as needed proactively. 

Once a patient, always a patient. You carry your pelvis with you your entire life. We are here for you along the whole journey ie) you get pregnant again, you twist your ankle, or have a weird neck kink. We are here for you throughout your lifespan!

Our goal at Reborn is to provide every patient with high-quality care and attention. It is important that patients attend their appointments to achieve their treatment goals. In order to provide this care, we will make our best efforts to accommodate each patient’s schedule and reserve appointment slots accordingly.

We understand that life happens, and you may need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. In the event that you’re unable to make your scheduled appointment, we do require notice at least 24 hours (business days) prior notice to your appointment (Note: we close at 3 pm on Fridays). This will allow us to find a different time for you to continue your treatment while also allowing us to provide care to another patient who may be waiting to be scheduled.

If you have any questions about rescheduling you can always reach out to our team.

A group of muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tissues that form a bowl in the bottom of your pelvis.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a therapy treatment to help address pain, weakness, and dysfunction in and around the pelvic floor muscles. Both men and women can experience dysfunction with their pelvic floor. Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness clients receive a private and thorough one hour evaluation by a licensed doctorate of physical therapy with specialized training in the muscles of the pelvic floor. Research shows that strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles can reduce the effects of incontinence, organ prolapse, and many other conditions specific to women. Education is our greatest tool and clients are taught ways to independently manage issues such as bladder retraining, behavior/lifestyle changes, therapeutic exercise and modalities to improve quality of life. Our physical therapists are trained in manual treatment techniques, trigger point dry needling, and therapeutic exercise to address many of the symptoms associated with bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction as well as return to higher levels of exercise postpartum.

What is really important to know is that physical therapy is the first-line treatment for these conditions before any other interventions should be considered.

We recommend that you come in comfortable clothing that you can move in.

Many different things can lead to pelvic floor problems: prior or current hip/low back/tailbone injury, pregnancy/delivery, sexual trauma, hormone changes, stress, car accidents, prostate surgery, and many more.

• Provides support for your organs
• Helps with bowel and bladder control
• Has important sexual functions
• Acts like a sump pump with movement
• Helps stabilize low back, hips and pelvis

We will review your medical history ahead of time, ask clarifying questions and then dive into a full body movement analysis.

After that, we will deep dive into the specifics of your spine, rib cage, breathing, abdominal cavity, hips, pelvis, SI joints and all the way down to your feet.  

We will then perform an external and internal pelvic floor examination. Similar, but different than an internal exam with your OB/GYN or Midwife (no stirrups or speculums). We will be looking through the lens of a physical therapist, at range of motion, strength, coordination, mobility, scar tissue, trigger points, and overall movement systems. 

With the information we gather we will perform treatment and give you a plan of care to optimize your body and pelvic floor and get back to living your life to the fullest!

Nope! You can still come. You are a whole person and we have plenty to work on in the pelvis and outside the pelvis. It doesn’t make a difference to us as your provider. If it makes you uncomfortable, we can hold off on anything internal until the next session. We would hate to cancel 1/4 of our patients because they are menstruating…and that is not ok! You deserve BETTER!

In the simplest version, dry needling communicates with your nervous system, restores homeostasis, improves blood flow, decreases pain, improves activation of the muscles and improves range of motion.. this is what we know so far!

We use thin filiform needles (same needles as acupuncture, however it is NOT acupuncture) to stimulate myofascial trigger points, muscles and connective tissue to help manage pain, improve mobility and enhance muscle activation. When there is a trigger point of contracted tissue it creates an environment with decreased blood flow and oxygen which leads to changes in pH (more acidic) and a dumping effect of biochemicals that sit there and creates/signals to the brain that there is pain/discomfort/tightness/etc. We then take a dry needle into the trigger point (the most painful/discomfort, or one that reproduces your pain) to stimulate a local twitch response. The local twitch response helps restore the blood flow and oxygen, balance the pH and clear out the biochemicals that are hanging out in the contracted muscle fiber signaling to your brain. It’s a game changer, we go directly to the source!

Does it hurt? Depends…some people think it is painful, others think it is a weird/unique stimulation, and others just feel blood flow returning to the area. Try it out yourself and let us know what you think!

Nope! We still want you to come!

Each session is unique and we can continue to make progress whether you have done your exercises or not. Let us help you continue the momentum forward! Canceling an appointment because you “did not do your exercises” will only set you back further, our hands on approach is where the magic happens! You will continue to see tremendous results even if you don’t do your home exercise program.

 Although Utah is a fully direct access state, which means by law you do not need a physician referral to go to physical therapy, sometimes our In-Network plans will require a referral from your doctor to be able to utilize your insurance.

Even if a referral is not needed, we fully believe in collaborative care and will be happy to communicate with your doctors and other providers as needed. We want to know who is on your care team!

Our goal is to create a supportive environment for our patients and ensure they can benefit from their visits. We understand that many of our parent patients have childcare limitations, and also know that in some cases, having 1:1 time with a physical therapist without children present can be supportive in achieving treatment goals.‍

If you need to bring your child(ren) we are happy to accommodate, however, we do ask that your child(ren) be respectful and able to be with you during your visit in the treatment room. We recommend bringing something to occupy them for your entire session or get childcare if that is not possible. We want your session to be focused as much on your health and healing as possible. Children cannot be left unsupervised at any time. 

Real talk: You’re not alone. If childcare is preventing you from receiving the care you need, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can discuss options.

Absolutely! We highly encourage this! It is standard of care 🙂.

We would love to help you optimize your body, pelvis and pelvic floor for birth. As a physical therapist we believe we are an essential part of your birth team, preparing you as much as possible from the physical side of things. 

Many of our moms-to-be have wonderful experiences with their birth! We help them get rid of common, but not normal, pregnancy aches and pains, educate and practice push-prep in multiple positions, perineal stretching and many more valuable tools and techniques. 

For more information about why it is important and necessary for pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy, check out our blog page.

We typically see our patients 2-4 weeks postpartum. As soon as you feel ready to leave the house and add an appointment to your schedule. We do not perform an internal exam until you have been cleared from your other providers) at the 6 week postpartum check up. It is important for your uterus to heal prior to any internal exams.

We believe that rehab postpartum is ESSENTIAL!

When do you start physical therapy for any other musculoskeletal event, like a knee surgery or joint replacement? IN THE HOSPITAL!!!
