No. There is open-access in the state of Florida, which means you do not need a prescription to see a physical therapist.  Consider whether or not your out-of-network benefits will require one and it's always a good idea to have one just in case your care takes greater than 30 days to address.

There is no need to cancel as there are external treatments to if you choose so. 

The longer you wait for treatment, the longer your recovery will be.  Just the same, the sooner you are evaluated, the sooner you will get on the road to recovery.  There are many ways to examine someone in a way to encourage feeling comfortable and open to addressing symptoms/impairments.  

A pelvic floor visit is appropriate prior to the 6 week postpartum physician visit, as an internal examination is not the only way to assess or treat pelvic floor symptoms/dysfunction or other issues stemming from pregnancy/labor/delivery.

An in-home visit or virtual visit can provide feedback on how you're moving in your environment and how to address these before they get out of hand. 

A pelvic floor physical therapy examination really examines the entire body. Looking at how you move in general, joint motion, balance, if there are any deficits in strength or ability to stabilize your body, breathing mechanics, coordination of the pelvic floor for personal hygiene, and how your soft tissue moves, paying close attention to scar tissue. 

The internal portion of the exam is not absolutely necessary but it can give more information about pelvic floor strength, endurance, and ability to lengthen, what areas are reproducing your symptoms, areas of pain, and areas of increased muscle tone.  This is a very vulnerable examination and we want you to build trust and to feel comfortable throughout your care at Jae Physical Therapy.   This is always only performed after verbal and written consent is obtained, and is not absolutely required on the first visit or any visit. 

If having an in-person session scares or causes anxiety, please consider a virtual visit to help make you feel more comfortable.

At Jae PT, we offer specialized dryneedling services designed to treat both the pelvic floor and the entire body. Dryneedling is a precise technique where thin, sterile needles are inserted into soft tissue to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing. This treatment is especially effective for addressing muscle tightness, chronic pain, and dysfunction in various areas of the body.

During a dry needling session, you can expect a targeted approach to treating your specific concerns. The session typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the complexity of your condition. Dr. Joselyn will carefully insert the needles into the affected muscles, which may cause a mild twitch response. This sensation is a sign that the muscle is releasing tension. 

While dry needling is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects such as temporary soreness, bruising, or fatigue following the treatment. These effects are usually short-lived and can be managed with simple aftercare instructions provided by your therapist.

Dry needling is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, including bleeding disorders, infections in the treatment area. At Jae PT we do not dry needle in the first trimester of pregnancy and we do not dry needle the pelvic floor at all during pregnancy. It’s important to thoroughly discuss and disclose your medical history before starting treatment to ensure it’s safe for you.

To facilitate the dry needling process, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment areas. For pelvic floor treatment, you may be asked to undress or bring appropriate clothing for modesty and comfort during the session.

The goal at Jae PT is to provide personalized, effective care that helps you achieve optimal health and well-being. Whether you're seeking relief for pelvic floor dysfunction or muscular pain anywhere in your body, our dry needlingservices are tailored to meet your needs.
