All pelvic PTs - like any other provider - are not the same!  There’s a wide variety of experience and expertise when it comes to pelvic floor physical therapy.  So how do you find the right physical therapist for you?Find a pelvic physical therapist who specializes in pelvic health and isn’t ‘dabbling’ in the field.  Here’s a list of how to find a great pelvic physical therapist:True specialty health practice.  You don’t want someone who is ‘dabbling’ in pelvic health, or where pelvic PT is just an ‘add-on’ to a bigger practice.Hour-long sessions.  You should be seeing your pelvic PT for a full hour-long session so they can have time to figure it out!No aides or biofeedback.  You want to be getting hands-on treatment from your pelvic PT, not from a high school aide or being hooked to a machine that has you doing Kegels.A dedicated pelvic health treatment space.  Look for a clinic focused on treating people like you - you shouldn’t have to walk past a group of high school athletes exercising in a gym to get pelvic physical therapy.  A true specialist. Make sure your pelvic PT actually specializes in treating pelvic health cases.  Many orthopedic clinics claim they provide pelvic therapy, but the person has taken a single weekend courseCombination of internal and external physical therapy.  You need someone who is seeing the entire picture.  If they are either working only internally or only externally, they are missing have of the picture.Hands-On, manual treatment. You should have someone who is actually working on your body.  With their hands.  Not having you do a set of exercises or Kegeling on a machine.At PelvicSanity, almost 70% of our patients have been to other pelvic PTs before finding relief.  It’s not that pelvic physical therapy didn’t work - it’s that you didn’t have the right pelvic PT.  If you’ve ‘failed’ pelvic PT before, we hope you give it another shot - it’s extremely rare pelvic PT can’t help alleviate your pelvic health symptoms!
