Having your first pelvic health appointment can be nerve-wracking if you don’t know what to expect! At Wellest, we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be scary and you will feel calm and welcomed as soon as you walk in our door. Here’s a look at what to expect.
Getting To the Wellest Office
Our office is in Back Bay, located in the Park Square Building on St. James Ave. When you come into the building, you will sign in with the security desk. They will ask you to provide a photo ID to enter the building, so don’t forget to bring one! Then you will come up to the 8th floor to Suite 805 (take a right when you come off the elevator). You will be greeted by one of our lovely admin staff and your provider will bring you back to a private treatment room at the start of your scheduled appointment.
What Does Your First Pelvic Health Appointment Look Like
During your first visit, your provider will thoroughly review your medical history and areas of concern. An internal and external assessment will likely be performed in order to maintain a holistic, full-body approach. Your provider will assess things like your posture, muscular strength, mobility and muscular tension that might be contributing to your symptoms. At the end of the session, your provider will discuss their findings with you and work with you to develop a plan of care that’s specific to your needs.
What Happens Next?
Depending on what your provider finds during the first visit, they will recommend the frequency and duration of your treatment plan. Our patients begin care on a weekly basis to gain momentum in treating the issue(s) they are facing. Once symptoms begin to subside and you and your provider agree that your condition has started to show measurable improvement, the frequency of your treatment sessions may begin to space out. Over time, your treatment plan will be adjusted to ensure you continue making progress toward your goals.
At Wellest, we’re here to support you throughout your health journey, and we look forward to helping you towards lasting relief and getting you back to the things you love.
