It’s completely normal to feel nervous or unsure before starting pelvic floor therapy. Many people wonder if the experience will be awkward but the truth is, it’s much more comfortable & respectful than most expect.
What Makes People Feel Awkward?
Feelings of awkwardness often stem from…
-
Talking about personal issues like bladder leaks, constipation, or intimacy
-
The possibility of internal assessments
-
Worries about being judged or misunderstood
Trained pelvic floor physical therapists are medical professionals who treat these concerns daily, without judgment or discomfort. They create a safe, private, & supportive environment from the start.
What to Expect During Therapy
Your first session usually includes…
-
A conversation about your symptoms and goals
-
Education about how your pelvic floor works
-
A physical exam (external, and sometimes internal with your full consent)
-
A treatment plan personalized to your comfort level
You’re always in control, nothing happens without your permission, & your therapist will explain every step so there are no surprises.
