FAQs

What do you treat?

We treat people of all ages and gender identities with pelvic floor or orthopedic dysfunction. Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses any concerns with bowels, bladder, sexual function, or pelvic pain. See “Our Services” page for more information.

Do I need a doctor referral?

You may be seen in the state of Georgia for physical therapy for 21 days without a doctor referral. We can assist you with the appropriate steps to obtaining a referral.

What makes you different than other Pelvic PTs?

At Peach Fit Physical Therapy, our team brings together extensive clinical experience, advanced coursework, ongoing mentorship, and specialized training in pelvic health to provide thoughtful, individualized care. We combine hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercise, and movement-based strategies to address the root causes of your symptoms, rather than simply treating the symptoms themselves. We recognize that every body is different, and we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Our goal is to help you understand your body, feel confident in your movement, and get back to doing the things you love.

How soon after giving birth can I see a Pelvic Floor PT?

If you have no concerns, you can wait until after your postpartum visit with your doctor, usually around 4-6 weeks postpartum. We recommend asking your doctor for a referral at this appointment. However, if you are having concerns prior to that appointment, you can be seen as soon as possible.

What should I expect from my first visit?

The first appointment consists of a detailed history of your condition including discussion of your current limitations and goals. Then a thorough evaluation of your body is completed including posture, strength, mobility, palpation of muscles, movement analysis, and a pelvic floor examination if indicated. Our therapists will then help make a treatment plan and make possible referrals to other professionals to help along the way. Remember that internal pelvic floor examinations are not required. Informed consent is obtained throughout the evaluation.

Do I have to have an internal examination?

While internal pelvic floor examinations can often help us obtain valuable information for treatment of your condition, it is never required.

What if I am on my Period?

Your period doesn’t make us uncomfortable and is not a deal breaker. If you would prefer not to have internal work while on your period, that is completely okay. There are many things to work on outside of internal treatment.

What if I don’t have childcare?

No problem!! Feel free to bring your little one/s to your appointments. We will work together as a team to be sure they are happy and safe while you still receive treatment.
