Pelvic Floor Therapy for Athletes

Your initial evaluation is all about you, your story, and your goals. We’ll take the time to fully understand your concerns, history, and what you want to achieve through physical therapy.

Here’s what to expect:
✔ In-Depth Conversation – We’ll discuss your symptoms, background, and goals for therapy to ensure your treatment is tailored to you.
✔ Full-Body Assessment – I’ll guide you through a musculoskeletal evaluation to identify movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and any contributing factors to your symptoms.
✔ Pelvic Floor Assessment – If I believe an internal vaginal pelvic floor exam would benefit your treatment, I’ll thoroughly explain what it involves and answer any questions to allow you to decide if you consent to this as part of your treatment plan.
✔ Collaborative Treatment Plan – At the end of your evaluation, we’ll discuss your personalized plan of care, including the recommended frequency of visits and the roadmap to reaching your goals.
✔ Wear Comfortable Clothes – Expect to move! Workout clothes or any comfortable, flexible clothing are ideal.

Your first session is a judgment-free, stress-free opportunity to get clear answers, a personalized plan, and confidence in your recovery.

A pelvic floor evaluation is designed to assess how your pelvic muscles function and how they may be contributing to your symptoms. While some aspects of pelvic floor function can be assessed externally, the most thorough evaluation is done internally through the vaginal canal.

What to Expect:

✔ Internal Assessment (Only with Your Full Consent) – If appropriate for your condition, I may recommend an internal vaginal exam to assess muscle strength, coordination, tension, and trigger points that could be contributing to your symptoms. This involves inserting a single gloved finger into the vaginal opening to gently evaluate the pelvic floor muscles.

✔ Your Comfort Comes First – Internal work is never required and is only performed with your full consent—every single time. You will also have the option to bring a support person with you for any session that includes internal treatment.

Nope! Internal treatment is never required to make progress. While the pelvic floor plays an integral role in many conditions, we can often assess and treat dysfunction externally through movement, posture, breathwork, and muscle activation patterns.

However, an internal evaluation provides the most thorough assessment of your pelvic floor muscles and tissues, allowing us to pinpoint areas of tension, weakness, or imbalance more precisely. In some cases, internal treatment may help you see faster or more complete results—but it is always your choice.

Your comfort and preferences are the top priority, and we will always work within your comfort level to help you reach your goals.

Before giving birth! Think of it as “prehab” for your core and pelvic floor—just like athletes prepare before a big surgery to optimize their recovery.

✔ The best time to learn how to engage your core and pelvic floor correctly is before labor and delivery. If you already know how to connect with these muscles during pregnancy, you’ll have a much easier time restoring function postpartum.

✔ Research shows that women who train their core and pelvic floor early in pregnancy are less likely to experience postpartum complications like urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

✔ By working with a pelvic floor PT before birth, you’re setting yourself up for a smoother, faster return to your workouts postpartum. Instead of starting from scratch after delivery, you’ll already have the awareness, strength, and strategy to rebuild with confidence.

But, what if you’re already postpartum? It’s never too late to start! We help women months or even years after birth regain strength, stability, and confidence in movement.

No, and here’s why—your recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your treatment plan shouldn’t be either.

At Nexus Pelvic Health, we believe in tailoring physical therapy to your unique needs, goals, and progress. Offering packages would limit our ability to provide truly individualized care.

✔ You won’t pay for sessions or services you don’t need. Every treatment plan is built specifically for you, ensuring that you get exactly what’s necessary for your recovery—no more, no less.

✔ You won’t be boxed into a rigid plan that doesn’t fully address your concerns. Healing isn’t always predictable, and we want the flexibility to adjust your care based on what’s working best for you.

Our goal is to provide the right treatment, at the right time, for the right results—not to fit you into a pre-set package.

Nope! Colorado is a direct access state, which means you do not need a physician’s referral to start physical therapy. You can schedule an appointment and begin treatment right away.

In some cases, I may communicate with your physician to ensure that certain treatments are safe and appropriate for you—but a referral is not required to get started.

If you’re ready to take control of your recovery, you don’t have to wait—let’s get started!
