Frequently asked questions.
Curious about Systems-Based Physical Therapy? These are some of the questions I hear most often. If you'd rather hear me explain them, many of the answers include a short video.
How is Systems-Based Physical Therapy different from traditional physical therapy?
Rather than focusing on one body part, I look at the relationships between movement, breathing, the deep core, the nervous system, the organs, and lived experience to understand why symptoms persist and how your body can heal.
Can pelvic floor physical therapy really be done online?
Yes. Because much of my work focuses on how your body's systems work together, virtual sessions can be highly effective for many people, including those with pelvic floor concerns.
Do I need pelvic floor symptoms to work with you?
No. While pelvic health is one of my specialties, I also work with people experiencing orthopedic pain, breathing dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, pregnancy-related concerns, and whole-body movement challenges.
Can I work with you while seeing another healthcare provider?
Absolutely. I encourage people to build a supportive healthcare team and enjoy collaborating with physicians, therapists, mental health professionals, chiropractors, massage therapists, and other providers whenever it's helpful.
What happens during my assessment?
We'll begin with a conversation about your history, goals, and symptoms, followed by a personalized movement assessment to understand how your body's systems are working together. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms and your first steps toward healing.
How do I know whether I need individual care or a cohort?
Individual care offers personalized assessment and treatment for your specific needs, while cohorts provide guided learning and practice alongside others. During your complimentary consultation, we'll decide together which option—or combination—is the best fit for you.
Do you take insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
What if I'm pregnant?
Wonderful! Pregnancy is one of my favorite times to work with people. I can help you prepare for birth, improve comfort during pregnancy, and support your changing body.
What if I don't live in Colorado?
You can still work with me virtually. Many people experience meaningful progress through online Systems-Based Physical Therapy sessions.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, such as athletic or casual clothes.
How long are appointments?
Appointments are available in 25-, 45-, and 55-minute sessions, depending on your needs and treatment plan.
Do you perform internal pelvic floor examinations?
Yes, when they're clinically appropriate and with your full consent. Many people improve without an internal examination, and together we'll decide whether it's necessary based on your goals, symptoms, and comfort level.
