Do I need a referral from a physician?

No. Ohio law allows for direct access to physical therapy services.

Do you take my insurance?

In order to prioritize your health needs and provide the highest quality of care, Cleveland Pelvic Wellness Center is an out-of-network clinic. Unfortunately, insurance companies have the power to dictate what conditions we can treat, how we treat, how much time we treat for, how many visits you get, etc. We want to put you first instead of being limited to what the insurance company approves. This model allows us to provide personalized care to help you meet your goals.

​

We encourage you to contact your insurance company for both a quote on your physical therapy benefits and to receive a general claim form to send for reimbursement. 

What can I expect on my first visit?

You will be evaluated by a physical therapist in a private room. This involves the physical therapist taking a thorough history and listening to your medical concerns and a physical examination which may involve strength testing, testing of your flexibility, and hands-on palpation of muscles and connective tissues.  

​

Please wear comfortable, stretchy clothing.

Do I need to have an internal exam if I have a pelvic floor issue?

No! An internal exam is never necessary. It is only ever done with your consent. It helps to give the physical therapist more specific information on your pelvic floor but it is not a required part of therapy.
