Frequently asked questions.

  • Cedar Physical Therapy providers are out-of-network (OON) physical therapy providers for non-medicare insurance companies. Cedar Physical Therapy offers time-of-service visits, which means that you pay for your visit at the time you receive it.

    If your insurance plan has OON benefits for physical therapy services, Cedar Physical Therapy can provide you a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement amount depends on your particular insurance plan and its OON benefits.

    Payment plans and sliding scale is offered on a case by case basis. Please email info@cedarphysicaltherapy.com with questions.

  • Unfortunately most insurance companies do not recognize Reiki as a covered treatment modality. As a result, I am unable to provide a superbill for Reiki services or couples sexual wellness sessions at this time.

  • Yes! I strive to help you better understand the normal hormonal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal changes that occur in your body throughout your pregnancy. I will work with you to help you create a prenatal exercise routine that is right for you. I consider it an honor to help patients prepare for labor and birth as well as supporting your post-partum health. I frequently collaborate with doulas, midwives, OBGYNs and other members on a birth team.

  • Yes! Creating a safe and private environment for you to receive pelvic health services is important to me.

  • Your comfort and safety are my top priority. I understand that unfortunately many people with vaginas have had negative health care experiences when it comes to internal vaginal exams. I recognize that many people with vaginas are survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

    I believe in always asking for consent, and I believe consent is not a β€œone time thing.” Rather, consent is an ongoing practice. You are always welcome to bring a friend, family member, or partner to your pelvic health PT appointments, if this is something a patient feels will support you in feeling safer and more comfortable. I otherwise practice informed consent throughout all of our appointments.

    You can expect me to explain what each treatment technique entails prior to beginning the exam or treatment technique.

    I will check in with you throughout the treatment to see if you would like to pause, take a break, or change the treatment plan at any time.

  • Intravaginal pelvic floor muscle examinations can provide a lot of helpful information regarding the most beneficial treatment plan for you. For example, they can help you and me determine if your pelvic floor muscles are weak, tight, underactive, or overactive. Treatment will vary slightly based on what you and I discover together about your pelvic girdle and pelvic floor muscles during the pelvic floor muscle exam.

    Intravaginal pelvic floor muscle exams can also help you and me determine if there are signs of pelvic organ prolapse, skin dehydration, or skin irritation- which are all important to consider when creating the best individualized treatment plan for you!

  • Yes! It is quite common for people who are experiencing pelvic health symptoms to also experience hip pain, low back pain, knee pain or pain in other areas. As such, I will complete a comprehensive exam that assesses the entirety of your health, not just your pelvic floor! Even if you are not experiencing hip pain, low back pain or knee pain, examination of these regions may be beneficial in treating your pelvic health symptoms. I will explain options for my recommended treatment plan during each appointment, and you will have an opportunity to provide informed consent for all treatment plans.

  • Absolutely not! There is so much we can accomplish together if you would prefer not to do an intravaginal pelvic floor muscle exam. I encourage my patients to choose the type of pelvic floor muscle exam that feels most safe and comfortable for them. At your initial evaluation I will explain your options for a comprehensive pelvic floor muscle exam (over clothes or intravaginal) and you will have the opportunity to choose which type of exam is best for you.

  • Yes! I provide several lubricant options during intravaginal pelvic floor muscle exams including:

    • Good Clean Love

    • Ah Yes!

    • Uber Lube

    • Organic Avocado Oil

    • Organic Cocount oil

    You are welcome to bring your preferred lubricant to sessions as well.

  • Please provide 48 hours notice prior to cancelling an appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will be charged the full appointment fee.

    I understand emergencies and illnesses happen; please reach out to me via email or phone if you need to cancel due to an emergency or illness.

  • Unfortunately this is a wellness service that I cannot provide a superbill for.
