Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy FAQs

Question 1

Are pelvic floor services right for you?

Accepted Answer

Many people assume that pelvic floor rehab is only appropriate for women who have had children. However, MANY women (and men!) of all ages will experience pelvic floor issues at some point in their lives, with or without birthing children.

Question 2

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

In attempt to prevent restrictions brought on by insurance companies, we do not accept insurance at this time. This allows us to focus purely on what is going to get YOU better, instead of focusing on what your insurance will or will not allow.

NOTE: Due to Medicaid restrictions, if you are a Medicaid beneficiary we are unable to accept you as a client at this time - even if interested in paying out of pocket!

Question 3

What is online coaching?

Accepted Answer

At Lynne DiPirro Performance PLLC, we offer holistic pelvic health coaching. This is a completely virtual service that gives you flexibility in your care, so that you do not need to attend weekly, in-person sessions. You will receive personalized exercise programming and education to promote pelvic floor and whole body wellness from the comfort of your home!

Question 4

I have an in-person evaluation coming up. What should I expect?

Accepted Answer

At your first visit, your provider will actively listen to all of your concerns and go through a thorough history intake. She will then take you through a series of movements tests, so it is helpful to wear comfortable clothing! If indicated, your provider will perform an internal pelvic exam (vaginally or rectally). This allows your provider the ability to assess the pelvic floor muscles for weakness, tightness, etc. Following this, you and your provider will decide on the best route to addressing your concerns!

Question 5

Is an internal pelvic exam required?

Accepted Answer

We understand that this is a very sensitive area and people will have varying levels of comfort with an internal exam. Therefore, the exam is not at all required. However, it allows your provider to get a more exact understanding of the pelvic floor muscles and is VERY helpful for guiding your care. If you are nervous or uncomfortable with possibility of having an internal exam, please speak with your provider to discuss other options during your session!

Question 6

Do you treat men?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Men have pelvic floor muscles very similar to women. We often see men for testicular pain, penile pain, erectile dysfunction and bladder leakage.

Question 7

What are small group sessions?

Accepted Answer

Small group sessions are guided classes where you’ll learn, move, and improve your pelvic health in a supportive group setting. You’ll be alongside other women with similar experiences, creating connection while building strength and confidence.

Question 8

How many people are in each group?

Accepted Answer

Groups are kept small, with 4–5 people max, to create an intimate, supportive environment where you can learn, move, and feel comfortable alongside others on a similar journey.

Question 9

Where are small group sessions held?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are booked by the client and can be hosted in your home or at our offices in Sandwich and Mattapoisett, MA. We serve Cape Cod and the surrounding areas. Groups are limited to 4–5 people to create an intimate, supportive experience.

Question 10

Can I book The Femme Experience for a private event or group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Femme Experience is hosted by you in your home and designed for private groups, with a minimum of 10 guests. It’s a fully curated experience perfect for special occasions.

Question 11

What does Hybrid Physical Therapy mean?

Accepted Answer

Hybrid physical therapy combines in-person sessions with ongoing online coaching. You’ll receive hands-on care when needed, along with personalized programming and guidance between sessions, so your progress continues beyond the clinic.

Question 12

What if I can’t come in person at all?

Accepted Answer

Fully virtual care through online coaching is also an option. You’ll still receive a personalized plan, guidance, and support, just without the in-person component.
