During your initial evaluation, Dr. Kari will begin by taking a detailed medical history and asking you about your pelvic health concerns, symptoms, and daily activities.

Next, she will perform a physical examination to assess your muscular strength, coordination, and flexibility. This may involve both an external and internal assessment, depending on your symptoms and concerns. Please note: internal assessments are always based on your comfort and consent! We may also assess your posture, movement patterns, and other factors that may be contributing to your pelvic floor dysfunction.

Based on the results of your evaluation, Dr. Kari will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals. She will take the time to answer any questions you may have and provide you with the education and guidance you need to feel confident in your treatment plan.

Follow-up sessions are an essential part of your journey towards optimal pelvic health. During your follow-up sessions, Dr. Kari will reassess your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and provide you with the education and support you need to continue making progress.

Treatment may include a combination of manual therapy techniques, behavioral training, and pelvic health exercises, depending on your specific needs and goals. We’ll also offer guidance on maintaining proper pelvic floor health long term.

We believe that pelvic health is something that should be practiced both in and out of the treatment room. That’s why Dr. Kari will work with you to develop a personalized home program that complements your in-person treatment sessions. Pelvic floor exercises and other self-care techniques are an important part of pelvic health, and we’ll provide you with the education and tools you need to manage your symptoms and maintain your progress at home.
