What Makes Vivid’s Approach to Pelvic Floor Therapy Unique

At Vivid, our patients have higher level goals. They don’t just want to quiet their symptoms, they want them gone for good.

Pelvic floor symptoms shouldn’t keep you from playing with your kids, working out at the gym, or enjoying intimacy with your partner. Our treatments are aimed at the root cause of your symptoms so that you can confidently trust your pelvic floor.

Healthcare has become so robotic and lack personalization. At Vivid, we put quality of care and experience above everything else. We keep our therapists caseload small so that you won’t feel like just a number.

We value privacy, modesty, and comfort. All of our sessions are one on one with a pelvic PT in a private treatment room in our spa-like office.

FAQs

  • At Vivid, women’s pelvic floor PT is ALL that we do. We don’t just dabble in it. Our therapists are highly trained, and combined have decades of experience in women’s pelvic health.

    In addition, everything we do is aimed at getting you to achieve the highest activity level, without worrying about your pelvic floor.

    Goal is jumping- we’ve got you

    Goal is lifting- we’ve got you

    Goal is lifting your kids without pain- we’ve got you

    Whereas other pelvic PTs may just focus on laying down exercises and have their patients do a lot of kegels, we know your body is more complicated than that. At Vivid, we take pride in helping our patients exceed their goals so they can feel confident in their pelvic floor during all tasks!

    In addition, our therapists perform internal AND external treatments as needed, and as discussed with you. Many other places will do an internal exam on the first day, and then will pass you off to an aide or tech. Our sessions are entirely one-on-one.

  • No! We can begin our treatments without a prescription.

    We typically like to make your primary care doctor, GYN, or OBGYN aware that you are receiving care at our office, but our amazing front desk admin team can help you with all the leg work on that!

  • An internal examination is ALWAYS optional.

    Since the ability to perform an internal assessment (either intravaginally or intrarectally) is often the missing link for many patients, we believe good pelvic floor therapy consists of internal and external treatments. However, the patients requests and comfort is always top priority when selecting specific treatments for each patient’s case.

  • Quality of care and personalization is our primary goal, so most of our patients are looking for providers outside of the traditional insurance model.

    Instead of dealing with insurance red tape, and surprise bills for non-covered charges, we opt to bill our patients directly.

    Our services can be covered through out of network physical therapy benefits. We can provide each patient with an itemized invoice that they can submit on their own to their insurance company, if interested.

  • This depends!

    Like most PT programs, consistency is key to results. In order to get the best results, most of our patients come at least weekly for the first 2-3 months of treatment.

    Many of our patients start noticing improvements in their symptoms within the first 3-5 visits.

  • We always advise wearing something comfortable, that you can move around in.

    Many of our treatments involve working around the abdomen and hip areas so we usually advise patients to avoid wearing a jumpsuit or romper.
