What is the pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is the collection of muscles and other tissues in the bottom opening of the pelvis. Included are also the urethra, rectum, and vagina (if you have one). The main jobs of the pelvic floor are to control the need to use the bathroom, sexual function, and to provide stability and support to the body and pelvic organs.

Is Health in Motion Physical Therapy in-network with my insurance?

No is the short answer to the question. We have chosen to be out-of-network with insurance companies allowing us to deliver exactly the care our expertise says you will benefit from. In a field where insurance expectations are based on general recommendations for orthopedic physical therapy care, insurance expectations don’t always match how the field of pelvic health is most effective for your improvement. We are able to provide billing information for you to submit for out-of-network benefits or to a health-sharing plan.

Who does Health in Motion Physical Therapy serve?

We care for any individual who is 18+. Though the most frequently seen conditions can change based on gender, age, and life experiences anyone can have pelvic floor related conditions. In addition, sometimes an individual’s “problem” seems orthopedic in nature but has not responded to conventional treatments as the pelvic floor is the missing component. This can be a trend commonly seen in chronic hip and low back pain.
