What is pelvic health?
Pelvic health is a broad term that refers to the state of well-being and optimal functioning of the structures and systems within the pelvis, including the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum. Pelvic health involves the proper functioning and coordination of these organs, as well as the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.
Maintaining good pelvic health is crucial for a range of bodily functions, such as urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and support for the core and lower body. Pelvic health can influence, and be influenced by various factors, including pregnancy and childbirth, aging, trauma, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions.
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that helps individuals of all ages enhance their ability to engage in meaningful activities (or occupations) that are important to them. Occupational therapists work with people who have physical, cognitive, developmental, or emotional challenges that impact their everyday functioning. Through a client-centered approach, occupational therapists assess individuals' abilities, develop personalized intervention plans, and provide therapeutic techniques and strategies. This treatment approach promotes independence, improves physical and mental well-being, and facilitates participation in activities at home, school, work, and the community. The goal of occupational therapy is to enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives and achieve their maximum potential.
At Balanced Pelvic Health, we offer a comprehensive, collaborative, holistic, and integrative approach to your pelvic health and overall well-being. This may include education, mind-body techniques, exercise, manual therapies, and coaching on changing habits and routines to accomplish your goals. The journey is yours, we simply act as your guide.
Do I need a doctor’s order to receive services?
At Balanced Pelvic Health, we take a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to your health and well-being. While an order from a physician is not required for services, it is highly advisable that you obtain one prior to an evaluation for the following reasons:
An order from a physician allows for open communication between you pelvic floor occupational therapist and the provider, and increases the resources available for follow-up on your condition.
Many insurance companies require an order for reimbursement; having one will increase the likelihood of reimbursement if you plan to submit a bill for out-of-network benefits.
We are happy to help facilitate getting an order from your doctor. Contact us today to find out more!
