Pelvic Floor Therapy and EDS physical therapy serving Bethesda and Washington DC surrounding metropolitan areas
The Initial evaluation will be 80 minutes long, where we review your present and past medical history. We conduct a whole person-centered, holistic physical therapy evaluation, discuss your goals, and start your treatment plan. Follow-up visits are 55 minutes and may include manual (hands-on) techniques, an individualized home exercise program; education, pain and symptom management.
Pelvic floor therapy at EmpowerHeal PT in Bethesda may include an internal (intra-vaginal or intra-rectal) assessment and treatment, when indicated by presentation and symptoms, and only with your full consent and agreement. It does not need to be done if you never feel ready.
Maryland is a direct access state for physical therapy, and you do not need a referral from your doctor to be seen for PT. However, if you are currently pregnant, we do request a referral/clearance from your OBGYN or midwife before being evaluated.
As cliche as this sounds, it depends. The goal is ultimately to build a program along with you that empowers you to be self-reliant for your pain management and you need less of us.
Treatment frequency could look like 1 x a week initially for a few visits and then as improvements are seen, we start tapering you down and see you less often.
EmpowerHeal Physical Therapy is a private pay practice, we are not contracted with any insurance providers. This allows us to provide the highest quality of individualized care, and spend the full session 1-on-1 with you to get the most out of your appointment. This means you will pay in full for your service at the time of your appointment, and there are no hidden fees or surprise bills.
At your request, we can provide you with documentation that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement through out-of-network (OON) benefits. We can accept HSA cards.
To find out if you have out-of-network insurance benefits, call your insurance provider and ask if you have out-of-network coverage for physical therapy; if they cover your diagnosis; what is your out-of-network deductible, and how much have you met to date; if they require referral or prior authorization.
