What is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist?

A pelvic floor physical therapist is a specialized provider who has advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of the pelvic floor within a larger body system. Pelvic floor physical therapists are highly specialized providers who evaluate and treat the following conditions: bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, birth and pregnancy related dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction.

What Should I Expect During My First Appointment with a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist?

Your pelvic floor physical therapist will begin by taking a comprehensive medical history and discussing your symptoms in detail. You will receive an educational overview of the pelvic floor anatomy and its connection to your symptoms. Following this discussion, an evaluation will be conducted, which may include observing your breathing patterns, assessing spinal and hip mobility, examining foot and ankle mobility, and performing a functional movement screening. With your consent, your physical therapist may recommend an external and/or internal pelvic floor muscle assessment to gain a deeper understanding of how the pelvic floor may be contributing to your symptoms. Together, you and your therapist will develop a personalized plan of care tailored to your specific goals and needs.

Do I need a Physician Referral To See You?

As of 9/1/2025, patents can see a PT in Texas for evaluation and treatment for up to 30 calendar days before needing a PT referral.

Why is Key Tex PT Out-of-network with Insurance Companies?

By choosing Key Tex, you're prioritizing your health with a team of dedicated specialists who have the freedom to provide the highest standard of care, unrestricted by the limitations often imposed by in-network arrangements. Our commitment to excellence means putting your health and well-being first, every step of the way - without insurance companies dictating how we work with you. We work for our patients, not for insurance companies. Our approach addresses root causes rather than just managing symptoms, often leading to more sustainable health improvements and long-term cost savings.

Here are a few of the many benefits you will receive when working with an out-of-network provider:

IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO CARE: Unlike many in-network providers with long wait times (4-8 months), we can offer timely appointments, crucial for addressing your concerns. Our team can get you started in a week or two in most cases. Starting your care sooner can set you on the path to symptom relief even before in-network clinics schedule your evaluation. This proactive approach helps you begin your journey to wellness without unnecessary delays.

EXPERTISE-DRIVEN CARE: Our specialist can apply their full range of knowledge and skills without being limited by insurance-approved codes or treatments, leading to more innovative and effective long-term solutions.

ACCESS TO YOUR PROVIDER: We provide focused, one-on-one care during each session, unlike some in-network practices that may see multiple patients simultaneously. You will never be double or triple booked. You will also have access to your provider in between sessions. Here, we are a team.

FREEDOM FROM ARBITRARY LIMITS: We're not restricted by insurance-imposed session limits or treatment "codes", allowing us to provide care for you to achieve optimal results and reach your goals.

Can I Submit for Reimbursement?

You may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company based on your “out-of-network” benefits. We will be happy to provide you with a superbill which is an itemized document that has all of the necessary information to submit to your insurance company. Seeking and obtaining reimbursement for services is the sole responsibility of the patient, though, we are here to provide assistance.
