If you've Googled 'pelvic floor therapy near Basking Ridge' and ended up on a 12-week wait list, a 25-minute appointment, or a clinic that shares one therapist across three patients at a time — this guide is for you. Here's exactly what a one-on-one pelvic floor session at Modern Movement looks like, who it helps, and how to know if it's right for you.
Who pelvic floor therapy is for
Pelvic floor therapy isn't only for postpartum moms. We see women across Somerset County for a wide range of issues that have one thing in common: a pelvic floor that's either too tight, too weak, or not coordinating with the rest of the core.
- Leaking with sneezing, jumping, lifting, or running
- Urgency, frequency, or waking at night to pee
- Pain with sex, tampons, or pelvic exams
- Heaviness, bulging, or a 'falling out' sensation (prolapse)
- Diastasis recti and a core that feels disconnected after baby
- Low back, hip, or tailbone pain that hasn't responded to regular therapy
- Prep for birth, C-section recovery, or return to running
Your first visit, step by step
Your first appointment is a full 60 minutes, one-on-one with Amanda — no aides, no rotating providers, no shared rooms. We start with a conversation: your symptoms, history, birth(s), goals, what you've already tried.
- Whole-body movement screen: how you breathe, stand, squat, hinge, and load your core.
- Orthopedic assessment of your back, hips, ribs, and pelvis — because the pelvic floor never works alone.
- Optional internal pelvic floor exam (always your choice). External-only assessment is always available.
- A clear explanation of what we found and a plan you actually understand.
- 1–3 starting exercises you can do that day.
What sessions look like after the first
Follow-ups are also a full hour, hands-on when needed, with progressions to your home program every visit. Most clients feel meaningful change inside 4–6 visits — but everyone is different, and we'll be honest with you about timelines.
