What to Expect at Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

The first evaluation includes a thorough subjective discussion to understand your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and goals. It then includes an assessment of how your pelvic floor muscles work together with your core, hips, breathing, posture, and movement patterns.

Depending on symptoms and presentation, this can include an external and internal examination. External exam goes over movement, strength, and palpation of the abdomen, hips, pelvic floor, and more. For men, the internal examination is typically performed rectally with one gloved finger. It allows your physical therapist to evaluate strength, coordination, endurance, tension, trigger points, tenderness, and nerve sensitivity.

**Internal Exam is never required for physical therapy but can be helpful for obtaining detailed information on specific dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles. Treatment is always tailored to patient needs and comfort.**
