Pelvic floor physical therapy is a speciality physical therapy that is perfect for people who are struggling with conditions related to the pelvis or pelvic floor. Some of these common issues have to do with bladder leakage, bowel issues, or sexual dysfunction related to the muscles of the pelvic floor. We work on eliminating pain, stopping these embarrassing symptoms, and getting you back to activities and goals specific to you.

At Movement Physio and Wellness, we help adults struggling with bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. We most typically see women during pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause. We also treat men struggling with pelvic floor problems like pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and constipation. We do not treat pediatrics but will see teenagers on a case by case basis.

The people that come to see us for pelvic floor therapy are often dealing with an issue related to the muscles of the pelvic floor. Most often, people struggle with bladder leakage, pelvic pain, bowel issues, and pregnancy/postpartum recovery.

We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to provide the highest level of one-on-one care without insurance restrictions. This means longer treatment sessions, a personalized plan designed just for you, and faster results. Many of our patients use HSA/FSA funds or submit for reimbursement through their insurance. We'd be happy to guide you through that process.

Here are some key differences between our practice and insurance based clinics:

Our practice

• 1:1 for a full hour with your selected pelvic health therapist

• Holistic, full body approach with treatments dictated by what you need, not what your insurance will pay for

• Faster results and only need to come typically 1x a week

• Personalized treatment plan focused on high level goals that will help you reach returning to an active Colorado lifestyle.

• Our therapists have smaller caseloads than insurance based clinics, meaning you are heard and cared for, not just another number.

• Transparent pricing, no surprise bills

Insurance Based Clinics

• Shorter treatment times and might have to be seen by an aide or tech

• Cookie-cutter treatment approaches that your insurance decides what they will pay for

• Multiple visits a week, taking up more of your time

• Bare minimum treatments that might only include pelvic floor internal work and a couple stretches.

• Often treatment is cut off once you are out of pain, but still struggling with mobility or weakness, thus the problem returns.

• Unclear pricing, surprise bills after claims are submitted to insurance

No! Colorado is a “Direct Access” state for physical therapy, meaning you typically do not need a referral to see a physical therapist or occupational therapist. Even if your doctor recommends a specific clinic for you, it is in your right to choose the clinic that fits your needs the best!

Our clinic is located near the intersection of 64th and Indiana in West Arvada, right in between Comfort Dental and Qdoba. There is ample parking in front of the building.

Prior to your first visit, please fill out your intake form that is emailed to you via our Jane booking system. At your first visit, you can expect to be evaluated and treated in a private room by one of our female pelvic health therapists. We look at how the body moves, especially your hips, back, core, and anything that has to do with your specific pelvic condition. With your consent, the therapists may ask to perform an internal exam to check if the pelvic floor muscles are tight, weak, or painful. Then, we come up with an expert treatment plan in order to meet your specific goals.

As pelvic floor therapists, we believe that an important part of our exam process is a pelvic floor muscle exam done via the vaginal canal or rectum. This is one way we can truly feel if the muscles are tight, weak, or painful. Deciding to perform the internal exam is a decision made by YOU and your therapist! Obviously, if you are not ready to have this exam done yet, no worries! Your therapist will explain all the options to you. We always ask for ongoing, informed consent to evaluate your body!

Yes, you are welcome to bring your baby or partner along to your appointment. We do not want childcare to limit your access to get the help you need, so we welcome your little ones!

Please wear clothing that you feel comfortable moving around in. Most people wear athletic wear or workout clothes to their pelvic PT sessions.

We have a 48 hour cancellation policy to respect the time of our therapists as well as your time. Please call the office at (720) 500-7450 during business hours.
