“I had a great experience at ITR. In particular, my physiotherapist, Terry Lannigan, impressed me in several ways. Her approach was very personalized, precise, and thoughtful. Not only, she helped me with physical issues beyond the ones I went for. She has a wide medical knowledge that she uses with empathy.”

“Very convenient location. I was seeing Alicia Keefe for my concern and she was able to get to the heart of the problem very quickly. I started seeing results immediately after the visit. Every appointment we focused on the main goal but she would also address any new areas of concern. I highly recommend Alicia.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first pelvic floor physical therapy appointment?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment where we take time to understand your complete health history, current symptoms, and goals. We’ll discuss your concerns in detail and perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root causes of your pelvic floor issues. Based on this assessment, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and comfort level. Every session is one-on-one, giving you our undivided attention in a private, supportive environment.

Is pelvic floor physical therapy painful?

Pelvic floor physical therapy should never be painful. Our therapists are extensively trained to work within your comfort level at all times. While you may experience some mild discomfort as we address tight or weak muscles, we prioritize your comfort and adjust our approach based on your feedback. Many patients find that their pain actually decreases after the very first session.

How many sessions will I need?

Every patient is different, and the number of sessions depends on your specific condition, severity, and goals. During your initial assessment, we’ll discuss a treatment plan that gives you a realistic timeline. Some patients see significant improvement in just a few sessions, while more complex conditions may require ongoing care. We’ll monitor your progress closely and adjust your plan as needed.

Do you accept insurance?

ITR Physical Therapy operates on an out-of-network basis. While we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide you with detailed documentation (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please call our office at (301) 770-7060 to discuss payment options and how to maximize your insurance benefits.

Can pelvic floor physical therapy help with postpartum recovery?

Absolutely. Pelvic floor physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for postpartum recovery. Whether you’re dealing with incontinence, diastasis recti, pelvic pain, or just want to regain your strength and confidence, we can help. Many of our patients wish they had started prenatal visits earlier to prepare their bodies for birth and recovery. We’re here to support you at any stage of your journey.

Is pelvic floor therapy only for women?

While many of our patients are women dealing with pregnancy, postpartum, or gynecological concerns, pelvic floor physical therapy benefits people of all genders. Men can experience pelvic floor dysfunction related to prostate issues, chronic pain, or urinary concerns. Our therapists are trained to treat pelvic health conditions regardless of gender.
