What conditions or symptoms can pelvic floor therapy help with?

What conditions or symptoms can pelvic floor therapy help with?

Pelvic floor therapy can support women experiencing a wide range of symptoms and conditions—not just pelvic pain or bladder leakage. At Salt & Light, we take a whole-person approach to understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms and how your pelvic floor, core, breathing, movement, and nervous system work together.

Pelvic floor therapy may be helpful for:
  • Pelvic, abdominal, or low back pain
  • Pain with intimacy or penetration
  • Urinary leakage, urgency, or frequency
  • Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pregnancy and postpartum changes
  • Diastasis recti and abdominal wall concerns
  • Endometriosis-related pelvic pain
  • Vaginismus or painful penetration
  • Menopause and perimenopause-related changes
  • Tailbone or pelvic girdle pain
  • Pre- and post-surgical pelvic rehabilitation
  • Pelvic health concerns related to cancer treatment or lymphedema

These are just some of the concerns we can help address. If you’re experiencing something that isn’t listed here or you’re simply not sure whether pelvic floor therapy is right for you, we encourage you to reach out to our Patient Care Coordinators. They can learn more about what you’re experiencing and help you determine the best next step.

Do I need a referral to make an appointment?

Do I need a referral to make an appointment?

North Carolina is a direct access state for physical therapy and occupational therapy services. Salt and Light PT is a direct access provider and does NOT require a referral prior to treatment. ​

What if I’m not sure pelvic floor therapy is right for me?

What if I’m not sure pelvic floor therapy is right for me?

You don’t have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. At Salt & Light, we believe your care should begin with a conversation—not a diagnosis or a one-size-fits-all approach. Our Patient Care Coordinators are here to listen, learn more about what you’re experiencing, and help you determine whether pelvic floor therapy may be a good fit for you. They can also answer questions about what to expect and help you find the best next step. Have questions or aren’t sure where to begin? Give us a call. We’d love to talk with you.

What can I expect at my first appointment?

What can I expect at my first appointment?

From the moment you arrive, we want your experience at Salt & Light to feel calm, comfortable, and unrushed. Our warm, welcoming space features soft lighting, heated treatment tables, private treatment rooms, and an environment designed to help you feel at ease. We make getting here easy, too—with ground-floor entry, two on-site parking lots, and a simple check-in and check-out process. We respect your time and run on schedule, so you can expect your full 60-minute appointment to be dedicated to you. All of our visits are one-on-one with a licensed Women’s Health Therapist—either a physical therapist or occupational therapist. We’ll begin by listening to your story, concerns, goals, and health history before completing a personalized, head-to-toe assessment. This may include looking at your posture, movement, breathing patterns, abdominal wall, and pelvic floor, as well as factors such as sleep, stress, and nutrition that may be influencing your symptoms. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs. Your care is grounded in evidence-based treatment and tailored to your body, your goals, and what you need most. Because your pelvic floor is only one part of the picture, we look beyond the pelvis to better understand the whole person and identify contributing factors—not simply treat the symptoms. You’ll leave your first visit with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your concerns and a personalized plan for moving forward.

Will I need an internal pelvic floor assessment?

Will I need an internal pelvic floor assessment?

An internal pelvic floor assessment may be recommended depending on your symptoms, concerns, and goals, but it is not required for every patient. Your Women’s Health Therapist will discuss the assessment with you and explain why it may be helpful before proceeding. If an internal assessment is appropriate, your therapist will first assess the external tissues and pelvic floor function before gently assessing the muscles internally. With your consent, this may include one-finger palpation through the vaginal canal and, when clinically appropriate, the anal canal. Your therapist may assess muscle tone, strength, relaxation, coordination, tenderness, and sensation to better understand how your pelvic floor is functioning. You are always in control of your care. Your therapist will explain what they are doing, answer your questions, and obtain your consent before any internal assessment or treatment. You can pause or decline an internal assessment at any time. Our goal is never to perform an internal assessment simply because it is part of pelvic floor therapy. We use the assessment tools that are most appropriate for your individual needs and goals

What if I’m nervous or uncomfortable with an internal assessment?

What if I’m nervous or uncomfortable with an internal assessment?

It’s completely okay to feel nervous or unsure about an internal assessment. You are always in control of your care. Your comfort, consent, and sense of safety come first. Your Women’s Health Therapist will take time to explain what they are assessing, why it may be helpful, and what to expect before anything is done. You can ask questions, request that we slow down, pause at any time, or choose not to have an internal assessment. An internal assessment is one tool we may use to better understand what is happening in your body—it is never a requirement for receiving care at Salt & Light. We can begin with external assessment, movement, breathing, education, and other treatment approaches while building trust and comfort. We’ll work together to find an approach that feels comfortable, supportive, and appropriate for you.

How often will I need appointments, and how long will I need treatment?

How often will I need appointments, and how long will I need treatment?

Every woman and every body is different, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all number of visits. Your Women’s Health Therapist will develop a personalized plan of care based on your goals, needs, and progress. For most women, we typically begin with weekly appointments to build a strong foundation, create consistency, and give your therapist the opportunity to monitor your progress and adjust your care as needed. As you progress and become more confident managing your symptoms and implementing your plan at home, your visits may become less frequent. We find it helpful to think of care in four phases, rather than focusing on a specific number of visits. Your therapist will talk with you throughout your care about the phase you’re in, your progress, and what the next step looks like. Our goal is for you to feel informed and empowered throughout your care, with a clear understanding of where you are and where you’re going. You’ll receive our Four Phases of Care guide when you book, so you can learn more about what your journey at Salt & Light may look like.

Can I receive pelvic floor therapy while I’m on my period?

Can I receive pelvic floor therapy while I’m on my period?

You can absolutely keep your appointment! We see women throughout every phase of their menstrual cycle, and being on your period does not mean you need to cancel or reschedule. Just let your Women’s Health Therapist know when you arrive. Depending on your symptoms, goals, and comfort level, we have many options for treatment and can adjust your visit as needed. If an internal assessment or treatment is planned, your therapist will talk with you about what feels comfortable and appropriate for that day. Your care can always be adapted to meet you where you are.

What if I don’t have childcare when my visit is scheduled?

What if I don’t have childcare when my visit is scheduled?

Bring your little one with you! Infants and children are welcome at Salt & Light. We know that many of the women we care for are also mothers, and finding time for your own care can be challenging. We don’t want a lack of childcare to be the reason you have to put your health on hold. Whenever possible, we encourage you to keep your appointment and bring your little one along. Our private treatment rooms provide space for you to receive one-on-one care while your child is with you. Motherhood doesn’t always happen on a perfectly predictable schedule—and your care doesn’t have to either. We’ll meet you where you are.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

We understand—life happens. While consistent visits help you maintain momentum and make progress toward your goals, we know that plans sometimes need to change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us a call as soon as you know. We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice so we have an opportunity to offer your appointment time to another patient. For Monday appointments, please call by 12 PM on Friday. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are subject to a 50% cancellation fee, charged to the card on file. Missed appointments without notice are subject to a 100% no-show fee. We appreciate your understanding and communication. If something comes up, just give us a call—we’re happy to help you find another time that works.

Our vision is to help women find healing, health, wholeness and freedom, through integrative healing of the mind, body, and spirit through movement allowing them to live an abundant life to their fullest potential.


our values include:

High-Quality Care :

We believe that high-quality care is providing Women’s health care in a 1:1 care model with 1 hour sessions for each patient for evaluation and treatment. We provide trauma-informed care that is uniquely designed for patients to move through at their own pace. We recognize and value the use of evidence-based medicine to create a personalized individual plan of care for patients to help them achieve their goals. 

Embodiment practices within the framework of physical therapy:

The use of physical therapy modalities as an embodiment practice allows the patient to develop a sense of awareness, stay present, self-regulate, feel whole, connected, and ultimately empowered to build out of their pain cycles and/or dysfunction. 

Empowering Women:

We believe in empowering, resourcing, and equipping women with tools to progress towards their personal health and wellness goals. 

Life Team Approach:

We value walking alongside patients as a guide on their health and wellness journey. We help support patients as a member of their life team to address their physical bodies to get them where they want to be! As part of a patient's life team, we will give patients the support they need to heal and keep moving forward in life!
