Fun fact: we don’t do an internal assessment at every visit.
Internal assessments have their time and place and as a pelvic floor therapist we’re looking at totally different things, and usually only once or twice AS NEEDED (vs every single appointment)
Where your OB is assessing tissue for medical reasons, we’re assessing muscle and tissue function.
Specifically: tension, strength, coordination, range of motion, and whether there’s any scar tissue or restriction affecting how your pelvic floor is functioning.
It’s a precise way to understand what’s actually driving your symptoms and it’s typically a one-time assessment.
After that? You come in, we talk through how your symptoms have been, address anything new that’s come up, and move into hands-on treatment. Hands on treatment can be internal or external. No stirrups. No speculum. No shimmying to the end of the table. Just focused, specific care for what your body is actually dealing with.
If fear of constant internals is what has been keeping you from starting pelvic floor therapy, we hope this helps put that myth to rest!
