I had doubts that my issue could be solved with PT because it almost always felt like it was something happening inside my body. Yet when I went to a number of doctors and none could pinpoint my issue, I finally gave in to the idea of trying physical therapy and I have no regrets! ” — NL “ I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve from a running injury and required specialized pelvic floor therapy. The results have been wonderful. Within three months, my symptoms reduced to a fraction of what they were, and I am able to begin ultra running again. After multiple doctors, physical therapists, and massage therapists I had begun to lose hope that non-surgical treatment could work. ” — CP Check out our Pelvic Floor PT Frequently Asked Questions here .   Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy Studio 3645 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA, 94610, United States (510) 883-3534 [email protected] Hours Mon 09:00 - 17:00 Tue 09:00 - 17:00 Wed 09:00 - 17:00 Thu 09:00 - 17:00 Fri 09:00 - 13:00 Contact © Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy 2021 General FAQ — Level Up Home Our Team Services Classes + Programs Resources FAQ Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers Back Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Back Classes Bump to Baby Program Back Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental Back General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Home Our Team Services Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Classes + Programs Classes Bump to Baby Program Resources Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental FAQ General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers   general frequently asked questions: The questions below are general FAQs for our physical therapy practice.

This means that we don’t contract with insurance companies for rates and therefore do not bill your insurance. We take payment at time of service and provide you with an invoice, or Superbill, that you are able to submit to your insurance for reimbursement from your insurance provider. You are able to call your insurance ahead of time to find out what they reimburse for “out of network physical therapy”. We do accept HSA and FSA cards as means of payment. Out of network prices may be cheaper than in-network prices in high deductible plans before the deductible is met. Although we are out-of-network for commercial insurance, we do accept Medicare but we are unable to accept Medicare plans with Medical/Medicaid as a secondary. Why we are Out-of-Network: By being out of network, we are able to provide the level of service and care we insist on for our clients. We are able to provide longer, individual sessions allowing the time needed to treat with care. We believe that the body is one body and issues in one region can cause problems in another. Being out of network allows us to identify and treat all components of your problem-from head to toe, as necessary. It also allows us to determine a treatment timeline that is based on patient need versus insurance limitations. Breast cancer, pregnancy, postpartum, etc all affect several regions of the body and being able to address ALL of the concerns and issues someone may have is our mission.   RATES: 55 min Initial Evaluations: $280 110 min Initial Evaluations (non-medicare): $480* *Contact us for more information about why a 110-min evaluation might be best for you! 50-55 min Follow up Visits: $225   request an appointment Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy Studio 3645 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA, 94610, United States (510) 883-3534 [email protected] Hours Mon 09:00 - 17:00 Tue 09:00 - 17:00 Wed 09:00 - 17:00 Thu 09:00 - 17:00 Fri 09:00 - 13:00 Contact © Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy 2021 Pelvic Health Resources — Level Up Home Our Team Services Classes + Programs Resources FAQ Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers Back Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Back Classes Bump to Baby Program Back Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental Back General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Home Our Team Services Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Classes + Programs Classes Bump to Baby Program Resources Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental FAQ General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers   View fullsize Dr. Chelsea working with a pelvic floor patient Pelvic Health Support Blog!

How do you help? We work with you to restore the strength, stamina, range of motion, and flexibility that’s lost during cancer treatment or surgery, so you can return to the activities you love. Our goal is movement that feels free and even joyful. We're also focused on helping you prevent debilitating side effects like the swelling and pain of lymphedema that can take a patient by surprise and is more difficult to manage once they appear. What services do you offer? We offer comprehensive breast cancer rehabilitation services. We’re well trained in mobilizing soft tissue and scar tissue; manual lymph drainage, self-fluid clearance training, and lymphedema prevention; as well as strength training to help you return to your prior level of function. Our approach is proactive, addressing the discomfort, cording, pain, neuropathies, fatigue, and other musculoskeletal issues that can arise from breast cancer surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. We designed our PT practice to be with you at each step in your cancer rehabilitation, and then as a bridge back to regular daily activity, athletics, and exercise.   When should I come see you? We encourage you to schedule a first appointment prior to your surgery, if surgery is part of your treatment plan. At this pre-hab appointment, we’ll establish good baseline measurements of your strength, ROM (range of motion), and flexibility. We’ll also provide you exercises to do prior to surgery and in the first few weeks home and review physical signs and symptoms to which you should pay attention. Being prepared for what to expect will help you cope with what may be unfamiliar or scary. If you have already had your surgery we can see you as soon as you are able. Often 2-4 weeks post surgery is typical. If you are not having surgery we can help you with the other potential side effects from your treatment. We start where you are and tailor all services to what you specifically need.   How often will I need to see you, and for how long? That depends. We’re able to see you outside of the limits dictated by an insurance care plan. This gives us more flexibility to customize a treatment plan that works best for your needs. We know that PT is one more appointment on top of a full slate of doctor’s visits. Our goal is to develop a course of rehabilitation treatment that’s highly effective, efficient and supportive, so that you always feel that you are making progress. We will treat at a frequency and duration that you are comfortable with and will be effective. We will end care when you are ready. We’re also available on a consultative basis when appropriate. What is a session like?  Sessions are 50-55 minutes, and we work together 1:1 for the entire session. Sessions include manual work such as soft tissue and scar tissue mobilization, lymphatic drainage, and range of motion. When the time is right we add in some flexibility, strength and stabilization training to help you regain your function. Many clients say the soft tissue mobilization releases tension and restrictions in the way a good massage can. The difference is that we then get you up and moving, taking advantage of the freedom and flexibility we’ve created. I’ve never heard of Physical therapy for breast cancer. Why do I need it? Some painful cancer treatment side effects like lymphedema, limited shoulder range of motion, neuropathy, muscle weakness, and fatigue can be prevented or dramatically lessened with timely rehabilitation. We’re focused on your quality of life and want you to feel confident in your movement. When will I be able to return to MY regular exercise and activities? It depends where you are in your cancer treatment journey. Our goal is to get you back to the things you love, whether that is Pilates, yoga, tennis, swimming, walking, or even confidently picking up your children, grandchildren or pets. Our Wellness Membership offers a range of classes that can serve as a bridge back to your regular fitness routine.   Do you update my doctor/care team? Yes! We are big believers in this. We have relationships with several Bay Area oncologists and breast surgeons and are able to communicate with your care team to support your recovery. Your medical team is focused on treating your cancer, and we’re here to help you maintain and regain your prior level of function.   Last time I had Physical Therapy, i worked mostly with my PT’s aide. Do i see you or someone else? We’ve designed our independent practice so that we can work with you 1:1 for the full session. We find that this allows us to make the most progress in the shortest amount of time possible. We get to know you better as we’re spending more quality time together. There will be consistent education and continuity of care from pre-hab through your return to regular activity. I’m only getting chemo and radiation (no surgery). Do I need to see you? Chemotherapy and radiation can also lead to weakness, adhesions, and pain that can be helped by rehabilitation-short answer: Yes! Wow. it looks like you thought of everything. Cancer has enough of its own uncertainty and ability to blindside. Our goal is to lessen that uncertainty wherever we can. We believe in patient education so you feel prepared for each step. We want you to feel informed, empowered, at ease, and resilient as you move through your rehabilitation treatment and regain your function and your quality of life.

How do you help? We focus on restoring the muscle flexibility, strength, and coordination of your pelvic floor muscles and tissues. We assess how you are using your pelvic floor and how its interacting with the rest of your body to determine what we can improve to reduce your symptoms so your can return to the activities you love without concerns. Our goal is for you to feel relief—with a sense of control and a quality of life.   Who do you help? What conditions do you treat? We help people across the gender spectrum. Pelvic floor physical therapy can be effective for pregnancy, birth preparation and recovery, and for treating bladder conditions such as incontinence (leaking, frequency, and/or urgency) and bowel conditions such incontinence (leaking, frequency, and/or urgency); pelvic pain (vulvodynia and vaginismus); organ prolapse; neuralgia, post-prostatectomy, gender affirming surgery recovery, or unresolved back or hip pain.   Why didn’t anyone talk to me about my pelvic floor/pelvic floor PT before? We want to change this. We’re on a mission to make talking about the muscles and structures of the pelvic floor as commonplace as talking about your biceps, hamstrings, or lats. Yes, your pelvic floor is involved in sex, peeing, and pooping—intimate activities that have typically been discussed in hushed tones or avoided altogether. And that’s not helping anyone. That’s why we’re champions for openness and accessibility. Too often, women have been left feeling alone, and unaware that their pain, leaking or other symptoms can be improved.  Do you offer a male pelvic floor physical therapist? Yes. Level Up Wellness + Physical Therapy in Oakland, CA offers pelvic floor physical therapy with a male provider. Many people search specifically for a “male pelvic floor physical therapist near me,” and we provide that option in a private, supportive clinical setting. Can men go to pelvic floor physical therapy? Yes. Men commonly benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy, although it is often underdiagnosed or delayed. Conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, urinary issues, sexual dysfunction, and post-surgical recovery are frequently treated with pelvic floor PT. Care is private, respectful, and tailored specifically to men’s health needs. Why would someone choose a male pelvic floor physical therapist? Some patients prefer a male pelvic floor PT for personal comfort, cultural or religious reasons, prior healthcare experiences, or because they feel more at ease discussing sensitive pelvic health concerns with a male provider. We support provider choice and prioritize your comfort and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Is pelvic floor physical therapy with a male provider appropriate for women? Yes. Our male pelvic floor physical therapist also treats women with pelvic floor dysfunction, including pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, urinary leakage, and pain with intercourse. Patients are always given the option to choose the provider they feel most comfortable with, regardless of gender. Do I need a diagnosis from a doctor or other health professional to come see you? No, a diagnosis is not necessary. While we welcome referrals and arriving diagnoses and see ourselves as part of a care team, we will always begin with your story. You also do NOT need a referral to get started. In California, we have direct access, which means, we can assess and start treatment before we get a referral from an MD.   What can I expect at my first appointment? We allow additional time for initial visits to ensure we hear your entire story, can accurately assess your needs and provide much needed treatment.  We do an orthopedic screen, looking at how you move and provide education on the related anatomy, including your pelvis. We'll look at how your pelvis is working (or not) in relation to your hips, back, core, and limbs—and how you walk, sit, bend and move. We also assess how your pelvic floor muscles are specifically working—using both external and internal techniques. With the information of how your body is moving and how your pelvic floor muscles are working, we can develop a tailored approach to help you. What is an internal exam/technique? The internal exam provides us with valuable information that is helpful for recovery, and is done gently, with a lubricated, gloved finger. Here we are evaluating your pelvic muscles (not organs as in gynecological exam), and seeing if any of your symptoms can be reproduced upon examination. Taken together, your story, external exam, and internal pelvic floor assessment gives us the most complete picture of what is happening and why, so we can sketch out the most effective treatment. What are follow up sessions like? Each follow up session is 50 to 55 minutes. We will be working together to get your pelvic moving and functioning better, and may include some manual work from your PT to release and retrain your pelvic floor. Our orthopedic physical therapy training offers us a unique, integrative vantage point to help you reset all the muscles to work well together. Do I have to wait to be postpartum before I see you?  No! We see people while they are pregnant to help with aches and pains during pregnancy, as well as prepare them for birthing and the early postpartum phase. I’m pregnant. Is it safe to do pelvic floor therapy and exercise? Yes, pregnancy demands a lot of your body. It’s an excellent time to get support and improve the tone and function of your pelvic floor. We coordinate with your OB GYN to ensure you are a good candidate. When in Postpartum should I come in? Whenever you would like! We are not able to perform any internal assessments until you are cleared by your OBGYN, typically between 4-6 weeks postpartum, but we can help you feel better in so many other ways than just internal assessment and treatment. If you have pain or difficulty early on in postpartum, you can come in right away. On the other side, once your postpartum, you’re always postpartum! So, if its been a few (or many) years and you are still struggling with issues that started in postpartum, we are here to help!   How often and long will I need to see you? It depends. We work with some people over the course of a few sessions, for others the situation is multi-faceted and we may work together for months. It varies based on your individual needs..   Do you work with/update my doctor or care team? Yes! We believe in a well orchestrated care plan, and know you may already be under care or working with your internist, OB/GYN, midwife, doula, urologist, GI, or other specialist(s). We are able to communicate with your care team to support your recovery. request an appointment   Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy Studio 3645 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA, 94610, United States (510) 883-3534 [email protected] Hours Mon 09:00 - 17:00 Tue 09:00 - 17:00 Wed 09:00 - 17:00 Thu 09:00 - 17:00 Fri 09:00 - 13:00 Contact © Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy 2021 Level Up Home Our Team Services Classes + Programs Resources FAQ Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers Back Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Back Classes Bump to Baby Program Back Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental Back General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Home Our Team Services Pelvic Floor PT Breast Cancer PT Orthopedic PT Classes + Programs Classes Bump to Baby Program Resources Pelvic Health Resources Breast Cancer Resources Studio Space Rental FAQ General FAQ Breast Cancer PT FAQ Pelvic Floor PT FAQ Rates & Insurance Level Up Calendar/Events Contact Careers Scroll   Welcome to Level Up Wellness and Physical Therapy!

We started as three staff physical therapists, frustrated by the lack of patient-centered care and money focused decision-making in the clinics we were in. We wanted more time to focus on our patients needs, we wanted more community for our clients to be a part of while they got better, we wanted more collaboration with medical teams and other physicians to be able to serve our clients better ….and Level Up Wellness + PT was created….. We decided to start our own practice-where we would treat people with the care they deserved, have classes and events to create more community and fun while people heal, and create space in our schedules to work as a team with other clinicians for our clients. We believe this is what makes us different. This is what allows up to help people LEVEL UP!

All our patients that are pregnant go through our Pregnancy Program-Bump to Baby. It is built by our pelvic floor physical therapists who specialize in helping you move with confidence, manage symptoms, and prepare your body for birth and postpartum. Whether you're early in your pregnancy, navigating new discomforts, or planning a smooth recovery, we're here to support you every step of the way. SCHEDULE YOUR INITIAL APPOINTMENT Why Pelvic Floor PT During Pregnancy? Most people don’t realize how much support the pelvic floor provides during pregnancy. When your pelvic floor is functioning well, it helps with: Reducing pain in the pelvis, hips, and low back Supporting your growing belly and organs Improving bladder control and pressure management Creating space and flexibility for labor Preparing for postpartum healing   What’s Included in the Pregnancy Program? Our program is structured to meet your body’s changing needs with trimester-specific care and ongoing support. It includes: ✅ One-on-One Pelvic Floor Evaluations Personalized assessment of your pelvic floor, alignment, strength, and mobility. ✅ Trimester-Specific Follow-Ups Guided movement and bodywork to manage symptoms like back pain, pubic pain, or pressure. ✅ Birth Prep + Pushing Guidance Practical, body-based education to help you feel informed and in control during labor. ✅ Strengthening Classes Small-group classes (or 1:1 movement sessions) to safely support your core and pelvic floor. ✅ Postpartum Planning We help you prepare for recovery, early movement, and setting yourself up for postpartum PT.   Who Is This Program For? This program is ideal for anyone who is pregnant! But especially if: Pregnant and wanting to stay active and comfortable Experiencing pelvic, back, or hip pain during pregnancy Looking to prepare for a smoother birth experience Planning ahead for postpartum recovery Noticing symptoms like leaking, heaviness, or core weakness Unsure what’s “normal” and what’s treatable   Pregnancy Program FAQs When should I start PT during pregnancy? Anytime! Many people begin between 12–16 weeks, but we see patients as early as 8 weeks and as late as 39 weeks. It’s never too early—or too late—to get support. What symptoms can pelvic PT help with during pregnancy? Pelvic pain or pressure Low back or SI joint pain Pubic symphysis discomfort Leaking urine or heaviness Core weakness or coning Feeling unsteady or unsupported in movement Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy with PT? Yes! Our PTs are trained to guide safe, effective movement that supports your pelvic floor and whole body. We’ll help you stay active in a way that feels good and supports your goals. Do I need to have symptoms to benefit from this program? Nope! Many people come to prepare for birth, learn how to protect their body, and plan for recovery. Think of it like proactive care—just like prenatal vitamins, but for your muscles and movement. Will I still need postpartum PT? Most likely—yes. Even a smooth delivery can leave you with muscle imbalances, scar tissue, or pelvic floor symptoms. The good news? Starting during pregnancy makes postpartum rehab more efficient and effective. How do I get started? You can book your initial pregnancy evaluation right online; book a PELVIC FLOOR EVALUATION for your first visit with us, or contact us with any questions.
