Frequently Asked Questions

During your first visit at Aylara Pelvic Health, BreeAnn Allred and her team will complete a thorough evaluation of your health history, current condition, and goals. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan that may include guided exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you feel confident in your recovery journey.

At Aylara Pelvic Health, most sessions last 45 to 60 minutes. This gives us time to provide one on one attention, focus on targeted exercises, and use manual therapy techniques when needed.

Initial Evaluation: For new patients, past patients with a new diagnosis, or anyone not seen in over a year and not on a maintenance program.

Follow-up Visit: A continuation of your existing care plan; schedule an Initial Evaluation instead if you're addressing a new or separate issue.

Lactation Visit: Targeted treatment for a clogged milk duct or mastitis, combining therapeutic ultrasound, manual lymphatic drainage, heat therapy, and posture guidance to relieve the blockage.

30-Minute Dry Needling Appointment: A focused trigger-point dry needling session for patients who've already had an evaluation and discussed this format with their provider.

A physical therapist is the right choice when you're dealing with pain, an injury, a new or ongoing diagnosis, or need a clinical evaluation, since PTs are licensed to diagnose and treat movement and pelvic health conditions.

A personal trainer, like Alicia Wood on our team, is a great fit once you're pain free and cleared for general exercise, and want structured coaching to build strength, endurance, or fitness.

Not sure which one fits your situation? Reach out and we'll help you find the right starting point.

After your initial appointment is scheduled you will receive new patient paperwork via email. It is required to complete prior to your first visit in order to allow your therapist time to prepare for your evaluation. Arrive on time to your appointment in comfortable clothing, ideally exercise shorts or leggings and a t-shirt (minimize layers as much as possible). Your first visit depends highly on your needs and where you are in your journey, but you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your back, hips, pelvis, pelvic floor (as needed and when you are feeling ready), and movement. We will discuss your goals and an initial treatment plan to get you back to living your best life.

You can expect an internal exam, but that may not always be the case. Your therapist will check the pelvic floor internally because that is the only way to get the most accurate knowledge of structure and function. Not all patients need or are ready for this, so we may use external techniques first. Please communicate your comfort level so we can provide the best care. It is extremely important that nothing is forced, or rushed by anyone involved in your care. You will never be asked to do something you are not comfortable with. Not every appointment requires internal work unless that is part of your program.

Yes! We want to avoid gaps in your care. However, if you are uncomfortable, we can make adjustments. If you are having increased pain, or difficulty relaxing, we can work in different ways. Take note that it may be valuable to see what your organ function is doing if your complaints involve painful menstruation. We can help you work with your body.

Our physical therapists are trained with expertise in anatomy, movement assessments, and exercise prescription based on any impairments or pain you might be facing. We can provide effective treatments for pain in any joint, head to toe!

We are not contracted or "in-network" with insurance. Unfortunately insurance really limits our abilities to provide the best care for you. They don't have your best interests at heart, but we do. This also helps us to reduce overall cost. Some insurance plans include "out of network" coverage. This is typically a percentage that your insurance company will reimburse directly to you. You will need to submit documentation to them, which we provide for you at no additional cost.

You may use HSA/FSA cards for your PT visits.

If you are willing to use cash for massage, lashes, a hair appointment, acupuncture, or a gym membership, which are all valuable, why not for skilled, one on one, doctoral level care? What is your quality of life worth? What would you pay to be able to do what you love again, be out of pain, or be "normal"? YOU are worth it! Your HEALTH is worth it!

We understand that there are many financial situations, and do not want this to deter you from the care you need. All costs will be discussed up front. No surprises. We offer payment plans, so if you have difficulty with the cost for visits, we are happy to discuss options with you.

The cost of the initial evaluation is $200. Follow up visits are $174!
