At Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington, we specialize in postpartum health. Pregnancy and childbirth can impact the female body similarly to running a marathon, leading to issues like prolapse, pain, incontinence, and diastasis recti. We provide assessments to ensure proper recovery & address pelvic floor protection during exercise. Our tailored exercises and personalized strategies support recovery and enhance well-being, helping women achieve their postpartum goals safely & effectively. HOME / SERVICES / WHAT WE TREAT / POSTPARTUM HEALTH / Postpartum Health Not surprisingly, the orthopedic impact of pregnancy and childbirth on the female body have been equated in the research to running a marathon. These physical demands can subject women to unique problems postpartum, including prolapse, pain with intercourse, urinary incontinence, straining with bowel movements, vulvar varicosities, pelvic and spinal pain, as well as diastasis recti (yes, you’re saying it right!) Frequently, postpartum women will come to us without pelvic symptoms, but with fear around how to protect their pelvic floor from injury and prolapse during exercise and play with their children after birth. Even in those without symptoms, we usually find, on assessment, mild weaknesses and issues that are easily resolved when addressed soon after birth. We strongly recommend an assessment to make sure you’re body is recovering well from the delivery and make sure you are on a safe path to reaching your postpartum goals. Specific interventions can address things such as education in comfortable positions, use of birth control, and appropriate use of lubrication during intercourse, as well as recommendations for a pessary as your pelvic floor is recovering from birth. Through tailored exercises and personalized strategies, IOPT works towards facilitating recovery and enhancing the overall well-being of women not just during the immediate postpartum phase but also throughout the lifespan. Qualified Physical Therapist With years of experience and extensive training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, she is dedicated to helping her clients recover following labor and delivery.

At Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington, we address orthopedic issues linked to the pelvic floor. If you're experiencing low back, hip, tailbone, or joint pain, the pelvic floor may be involved. Many patients find relief from back and hip pain when treating bladder issues, due to the connection between these areas. We help resolve long-standing pain that traditional therapy might not address, and manage pelvic floor dysfunction related to leg injuries or surgeries. HOME / SERVICES / WHAT WE TREAT / ORTHOPEDIC HEALTH / Orthopedic Health If you are experiencing pain in the low back, hips, tailbone and joints of the pelvic girdle, you might be surprised to know the pelvic floor is very often involved. “My hips are always out” is one of our most often heard complaints. Fun fact is that much of the pelvic floor musculature is literally attached to the bottom of your spine at the tailbone, as well as having an impact on the hip, and so, very often when people come to us for bladder issues? Their back, hip, knee and foot issues resolve right along with their bladder. We can help you understand this impact and resolve those long standing back and “hip” issues that traditional therapy may not have been able to address. There is an extremely high correlation between back pain and urinary incontinence. If you have either one, or both, come see us. If you have had an injury and/or surgery to one of your legs, you can develop pelvic floor dysfunction, depending on the degree and impact of the injury. Qualified Physical Therapist With years of experience and extensive training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, she is dedicated to helping her clients overcome orthopedic issues and regain control over their health. Compassionate Care for Orthopedic Health We are dedicated to delivering compassionate care to individuals seeking support and treatment for orthopedic-related concerns.

At Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington, we address a wide range of pelvic health issues across all life stages. Our approach includes all aspects of pelvic and abdominal health for both men and women. We treat conditions like back pain, pelvic floor issues, digestive problems, and more, using a comprehensive approach to address muscles, nerves, and other systems. Our holistic method ensures effective, personalized care for your unique pelvic health challenges. HOME / SERVICES / WHAT WE TREAT / BLADDER HEALTH / Bladder Health Do you avoid fun or fitness activities out of fear of urinary leaking? Does your family make you laugh so you will pee your pants? Are you experiencing difficulty emptying or holding your bladder? Is your bladder running (ruining?!?) your life and schedule with its incessant demands? Are you the person everyone hates to travel with because you have to interrupt a trip for the toilet all the time? Were you the kid who got in trouble in school for asking to use the restroom too often? Do you know where all the local bathrooms are? Do you waste money on pads and expensive underwear because you don’t know what to do about these issues? These problems can limit healthy play, exercise, and sexual activity. These are the problems many people resolve in our clinic. Ensuring optimal bladder health is crucial for overall well-being. When the bladder is not functioning at its best, it can manifest in various ways. This can look like increased frequency of urination, sudden urges to urinate, leaking or incontinence, difficulty in emptying the bladder, painful urination, frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), or symptoms resembling a UTI. Medical conditions such as Interstitial Cystitis, Endometriosis, etc, can also present with these challenges. Measures to develop and maintain bladder health can include staying hydrated, addressing food sensitivities, practicing good bathroom habits and hygiene, and understanding the interactions between your bladder, pelvic floor, and nervous system. Consulting a healthcare provider, such as a pelvic health physical therapist, can help you understand and manage your bladder issues effectively. Prioritizing bladder health supports comfort, confidence, and overall health. We help you create a life where you and your bladder are working together!

Post-surgical pelvic health physical therapy at Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington addresses issues from abdominal or gynecological surgeries like appendectomy, gall bladder removal, hysterectomy, C-section, and bladder support. Our specialized therapy targets bladder dysfunction, pain, and digestive issues caused by adhesions. We focus on restoring pelvic floor function, treating incontinence, pelvic pain, and organ prolapse. Personalized plans help patients regain strength, & mobility. HOME / SERVICES / WHAT WE TREAT / POST SURGICAL / Post Surgical Any type of abdominal or gynecological surgery can be a prelude to pelvic problems. Whether you have had an appendectomy, gall bladder removal, hysterectomy, C-Section, bladder support, post-surgical recovery can greatly benefit from specialized pelvic health physical therapy. These surgeries can create restrictions in the fascial support tissues, as well as adhesions, that can cause bladder dysfunction, pain, and limit healthy digestion years down the road. This type of therapy focuses on restoring and optimizing pelvic floor function, addressing issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse that might result from these surgeries. Through personalized treatment plans, patients can regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their daily activities following surgery. Remember, as well, that sometimes your best investment in a good post-operative recovery, is what we call Pre-Hab. Learning how to perform the techniques and supportive concepts before surgery makes it much easier to apply them afterwards, thereby creating an optimal potential for success. Pelvic health physical therapy plays a crucial role in promoting recovery, improving quality of life, and enhancing overall well-being for individuals undergoing surgical procedures in the abdominal and pelvic region. Qualified Physical Therapist With years of experience and extensive training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, she is dedicated to helping her clients recover following surgical procedures. Compassionate Post-Surgical Care We are dedicated to delivering compassionate care to individuals seeking to regain strength, mobility and confidence post-surgery. Importance of Post-Surgical Care Understanding the importance of post-surgical care and pelvic health is crucial for your recovery and long term well-being.

Causes of sexual issues can be emotional, mechanical, or hormonal. Our personalized approaches include education on lubricants, birth control, and optimizing sexual wellness.

ALL IN ONE PLACE WHO WE TREAT WHAT WE TREAT HOW WE TREAT THE GOOD NEWS "I cannot rave enough about Inside Out Physical Therapy! I have referred countless women to Caroline. I had chronic pain in my hip after having my son 10 years ago. I also dealt with all the other issues mothers deal with! I have been pain-free for a year now, and my abs look better than ever because they are finally working! This experience will change your life if you commit and do your homework. Thank you, Caroline, for all you do for the women of Wilmington!" S.L. "There's hope, people! And Caroline can give it to ya! Pelvic health PT is a MUST for anything related to low-back pain, bladder issues, incontinence, and so much more. Go see her!" J.C.A. "I recommend Inside Out Physical Therapy. I had some pain at the end of my second pregnancy, and I'm convinced the techniques Caroline taught me helped with my fast, easy birth and faster recovery than with my first. I had a painful tear and scar tissue from my first child and was afraid it would get worse with the second birth, but I had less tearing and recovered weeks faster." E.M. "Caroline is amazing. Funny, kind, and so incredibly knowledgeable! Your pelvic floor health is IMPERATIVE to a happy life. Don't think twice - just go see her and the magic (and good, hard work) that is Inside Out Physical Therapy!" D.D.M. "WOW, the result has been transformational. I feel strong and have a much better understanding of how to maintain my own health, thanks to Caroline. She is a fantastic therapist, with a combination of hands-on work in the clinic, counseling and teaching, and exercises at home tailored to my situation. She managed to inspire me to take care of my health. Absolutely worth the time and money invested, and I now recommend PT to everyone who will listen." A.F. "Caroline is amazing. She is compassionate, supportive, professional, extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, and passionate about helping others. I credit her work as a huge reason I was able to have a successful and empowering home birth experience with both of my children. She helped me be ready for natural childbirth and helped me heal in between children and after my second baby. I was able to heal a prolapse, incontinence, and diastatis recti with her expertise and learned so much from her about how to support my pelvic floor and body throughout life. I can’t recommend her enough." S.S. "As a mom of three and over 50, let's just say sometimes things don't work as well as they used to. I can't rave enough about the help I received, the knowledge I gained, and the emergence of a new level of emotional confidence and physical comfort as a result of working with Caroline. I highly recommend anyone with pelvic floor challenges to contact Inside Out Physical Therapy! I am so glad I did." N.C.D. Meet Caroline Hi.

Welcome to the FAQs page of Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington. Here, we address common queries about our pelvic health therapy services. Our goal is to provide clear, helpful information to support your journey toward optimal pelvic health. If you have additional questions or need personalized assistance, please feel free to contact us directly. We’re here to help! Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a doctor's referral to see you? The short answer is no. In North Carolina, we have what’s called “direct access” to physical therapy. That means we can work with you without a referral. After your initial evaluation, if your concerns are musculoskeletal in nature (that is, they fall within the scope of physical therapy), then we can continue working together towards your goals. If you have medical needs, we’ll make sure to send you in the right direction to get those addressed. Even though a doctor’s referral isn’t necessary, we always support you sharing your PT plan and results with your physician and their information with us. In addition, if you will be submitting your bills to insurance, they may require a referral, you will need to ask your insurance company. Do you think PT can really help me? The entire driving force behind our clinic is to help people. We wouldn’t be doing this work if we didn’t think it could make a difference and help you get back to the activities and life you want to lead. You deserve to feel better, and pelvic PT has a proven track record of helping people recover, feel better in their body, and achieve their health goals. I see the proof of this every day with current clients. When is the best time to make a PT appointment? Is it too late for me? It is never too late to get started on your recovery. The best time to make a PT appointment is whenever you are ready — whether that’s today, next week, or in three years. We want you to be ready to participate in the work so that you can find success and meet your goals. That said? The sooner the better. The longer you wait, and your body integrates what becomes a long standing problem, the longer it will take to resolve, and the longer you are living with frustration and limitations. Success isn't found by following your "should's." It is found by following your "can's." Let us show you what's possible. Are you going to tell me to stop drinking coffee? It depends on what you’ve got going on, and what your goals are! But seriously? We can’t “make” you do anything, and will not try. Instead, we act as a guide, a teacher, a health “consultant.” In this role, we provide education and coach you through making the changes that support your goals. We will always work together on your goals in a way that helps you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Anything you do — including drinking coffee — is ultimately up to you. Just know that what you choose to do (or not do) can impact your progress and recovery journey. Full transparency? For me, I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day. At your appointment, I’ll share my secret for how I still drink coffee and stay symptom-free. How long will it be until I get better? How long your plan of care lasts depends on three things: where you currently stand, where you want to be, and what resources (time, energy, finances, support at home, education etc) you can bring to the table . With our approach, your symptoms will decrease significantly and often totally disappear in the first phase of PT, which tends to be 6-10 sessions, based on the above factors. One of the most impactful of these is your ability to extend the benefit of each session with a home program crafted uniquely for you. Sometimes the most a client can do is make it to their appointment once a week. Yes, they do get better, it just takes a bit longer. The second phase, which usually takes another 6-10 sessions, involves directly addressing whatever is influencing your problems. This is where we do a deep dive into fascial mobility, alignment and motor control. At the end of this phase, you will have a good understanding of your pelvic floor and how to use it, and you’ll notice a significant difference in your strength and connection to your body. The third phase is as long as you want it to be, based on your goals and resources. Some clients prefer to see me on an ongoing basis, with progression towards more and more core strength and functionality as they are able to do so. This is where we can fully integrate your gains into whatever activity you participate in for fitness. Do you take insurance? Inside Out Physical Therapy practices as a direct care model provider. As an out-of-network provider, we will provide superbills as requested and you can submit to your insurance company if you wish. We will not bill your insurance company directly. As so many Pelvic Health PT’s are practicing under this model, more insurers are becoming open to this. Practicing under this model gives you and your therapist so much more freedom to customize your treatment plan and make sure you’re actually getting the care you need and deserve. It allows us to spend 100% of your appointment time meeting your individual needs and goals, rather than addressing an insurance company's requirements. This can significantly shorten the length of time it takes to meet your goals, as we can be more efficient in your treatment plan. I understand that recovery requires a resource challenge for many people, and I want to make your goals accessible. Please schedule a consult so that we can discuss all the options you have with us. In the meantime, we recommend you call your insurance company to determine what your deductible, copay, and out-of-packet max are. Then call a PT clinic that accepts your insurance, and ask them these questions: How often you might be expected to come in? What their average total visits are for a case like yours? How long it might take to reach your goals? When you see how those numbers aren't much different from going to a cash-based practice, I invite you to book an appointment with us so that you can get started on your path to recovery as soon as possible. We look forward to the opportunity to help you in a way that helps you best. What payment methods do you accept? Payment is due at the time of service. We accept payment via cash, check, credit/debit card, or HSA/FSA card.

At Inside Out Physical Therapy in Wilmington, we help you maintain and build muscle fitness, crucial for healthy aging. Whether you're returning to exercise after a break, recovering from injury, or managing postpartum or post-surgical concerns, we offer personalized guidance to support your fitness journey. Our expert therapists address pelvic health and provide strategies to overcome fears of exercise, helping you enjoy activities like running or playing with your kids without worry. HOME / SERVICES / WHAT WE TREAT / SPORTS, FITNESS + PLAY / Sports, Fitness + Play Maintaining or building muscle and physical fitness is being found to be the single most important effort we can make towards living a healthy life as we age, and everyone comes to us from a different place. Many of you were active as children and got derailed with academia, career and children. Many of you were competitive athletes throughout college, and were repeatedly told not to listen to the messages your body was telling you. Many of you have tried a sport or fitness program that resulted in injury because there wasn’t appropriate guidance with your starting point and progress, and you had to let it go. Postpartum women often come to us without pelvic symptoms, but with a lot of fear around how to protect their pelvic floor from injury and prolapse during exercise and play with their children. Are you afraid to jump on a trampoline? Run in the yard with your kids? Don’t let the impacts of birthing your children keep you from playing with them. We can show you how to control and support your pelvic floor and bladder in whatever activity you choose, so you can participate in joy rather than fear.
