Yes, Physical Therapy Works Online: How Telehealth Sessions Help You Heal

f you’ve ever thought, “How could physical therapy possibly work online?”—you’re not alone.

Especially when it comes to pelvic floor therapy, many people are surprised to learn that telehealth is not only possible—it’s incredibly effective.

Thanks to the flexibility of virtual care, you can get expert support from the comfort of your home—no driving, no childcare scramble, no awkward waiting rooms.

So, How Does Virtual Physical Therapy Work?

Even though I can’t use my hands to physically assess or treat you, there is still a LOT we can accomplish together, including:

  • A thorough intake of your medical and pelvic health history

  • Reviewing lifestyle factors like nutrition, hydration, and stress that impact symptoms

  • Bladder and bowel habit education (especially helpful for urgency, leaking, or constipation)

  • Pain education and nervous system regulation tools

  • Posture, breathing, and core engagement training

  • Movement and mobility assessments

  • Customized home exercise programs and strength progressions

  • Pregnancy and postpartum consults

  • Hysterectomy prehab and post-op recovery support

  • Health coaching for lifestyle and hormone-related changes

Sometimes the hands-off approach is a benefit—it gives you the chance to connect with your body in a new way, with guided support every step of the way.

What to Expect in a Telehealth PT Session

It’s simple and personalized:

  1. We’ll start by talking through your symptoms, goals, and concerns

  2. I’ll guide you through movement, breath, or strength assessments—whatever fits your needs

  3. I’ll teach you strategies you can use immediately (no guessing or Googling)

  4. You’ll receive a follow-up email with your plan, exercises, and next steps

And no, you do not need to show me your vulva on camera for pelvic floor support. I use creative, effective education techniques to help you understand and assess your body—privately and confidently.

Who Is Telehealth a Good Fit For?

Honestly? Almost everyone.

Telehealth can be especially helpful for:

  • Busy women balancing work, family, and limited time

  • Postpartum moms who can’t leave the house easily

  • People recovering from surgery who prefer to stay home

  • Those in rural or underserved areas with fewer specialists nearby

  • Anyone needing flexible, private care that fits real life

Often, my clients do a mix of in-person and virtual sessions, depending on their preferences and needs.
