Two Types of Physical Therapy Evaluation

Orthopedic Physical Therapy Evaluation

For pain, injury, and movement limitations.

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on musculoskeletal concerns such as:

  • Back and neck pain

  • Shoulder issues, including frozen shoulder

  • Hip, knee, and joint pain

  • Tendon and overuse injuries

  • Postural or movement-related discomfort

This evaluation assesses how your body moves as a whole and identifies patterns contributing to pain or limitation.

Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Evaluation

For pelvic health and whole-body support.

Pelvic health physical therapy supports concerns such as:

  • Pelvic floor dysfunction

  • Urinary leakage

  • Pelvic, hip, or low back pain, including pain during sex

  • Changes related to pregnancy, postpartum, or midlife

  • Symptoms associated with perimenopause or menopause

Pelvic health evaluations are conducted with care, privacy, and respect, and always consider the pelvic floor as part of the larger movement system.
