Joy Noble • December 19, 2023
Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 21, I will review the seven questions you don’t want to miss when deciding on a pelvic floor therapy clinic and provider.
Episode 21 Recap:
Here are seven ‘must-ask’ questions for choosing a pelvic floor provider:
- Where did the therapist(s) get their pelvic floor training from?
- How often does your therapist(s) work with patients who have my same/similar condition(s)?
- How long is each session? How much of that will I spend with my provider?
- Does your clinic utilize techs, aides, or students during patient care/treatment?
- Are your therapists trained to do internal examinations & will they perform one during my evaluation?
- Will the therapist(s) utilize any tools during treatment such as dilators or biofeedback devices? Will I be left unattended during their use?
- Does your clinic offer gender-neutral bathrooms?
