The pelvic floor is comprised of 3 layers of muscles that attach front to back in the pelvis like a hammock. They're involved in bladder function, bowel function, sexual function, and support. Most people don't think about these muscles until something goes wrong — but they play a central role in everyday movement and quality of life.

It looks different for each patient based on their symptoms. The general focus is rehabilitating the 3 layers of the pelvic floor and coordinating them with the abdominals, breathing, hips, and low back. This can include internal manual release (accessed vaginally, rectally, or just external to those tissues) of trigger points. We teach muscles how to let go and how to contract, and build strength and endurance over time.

A tight pelvic floor does not mean it's strong — in fact, it often means the opposite. Think of a clenched fist: it can't grip anything because it's already as tight as it can be. When we need the pelvic floor to contract for support, a chronically tight floor can't respond. We first work to help those muscles relax, then teach them to contract properly.

Yes — they are one and the same! A kegel is simply the common name for a pelvic floor contraction. That said, doing kegels incorrectly (or when you don't actually need them) can sometimes make symptoms worse. This is why individualized assessment matters so much.

Pelvic floor dysfunction shows up in many ways: urinary incontinence or urgency, pain with intercourse, constipation, abdominal pain, and unresolved hip or low back pain — just to name a few. The best way to find out if it's right for you is to book a free 15-minute virtual consultation so we can chat about your symptoms and goals.

Yes! This is one of my favorite questions. It's nuanced because it truly depends on the individual, but generally we focus on addressing orthopedic impairments so you can labor effectively, teaching you how to relax your pelvic floor, and educating about perineal stretching and massage. Prenatal PT is one of the most proactive things you can do for your birth experience and recovery.

Generally we recommend starting around 6 weeks postpartum after your OB or midwife clearance — but even earlier gentle guidance and education can begin. The sooner you start, the sooner we can address any concerns like diastasis recti, scar tissue (from a C-section or perineal tearing), prolapse symptoms, or incontinence.

Your first visit is a 60-minute new patient evaluation. We'll review your full medical history, discuss your goals, and assess your range of motion, strength, movement patterns, and tissue restrictions. We'll set a plan of care together and begin treatment in that same session — so you leave with real progress made, not just a list of things to schedule.

It should never be painful. Some internal work can feel unfamiliar or slightly uncomfortable if there are areas of tension, but we always work within your comfort level and at your pace. Communication is central to every session — you are always in control, and nothing happens without your consent and comfort.

This varies based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients feel significant improvement in just a few sessions; others with more complex or longstanding conditions may benefit from a longer course of care. After your initial evaluation, we'll give you a realistic plan so you know what to expect.

Everyone has a pelvic floor! While WildHer's practice focuses primarily on women — including those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond — pelvic floor dysfunction affects people of all genders. Reach out and we're happy to discuss whether we're the right fit for your specific needs.

WildHer is a cash-pay practice, which means we don't bill insurance directly. This allows us to spend every minute of your session focused entirely on you — not on paperwork or insurance-dictated protocols. We do provide a superbill after each visit, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

A superbill is a detailed receipt containing all the billing codes your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network claim. You pay at the time of your visit, we provide your superbill, and you submit it through your insurer's online portal. If approved, reimbursement comes directly to you. We recommend calling your insurer beforehand to ask about your out-of-network physical therapy benefits.

Yes! We accept FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards, as well as all major credit cards. Payment is due at the time of service.
