Survivor - did you find PT on your own or your Urologist gave you a referral ? I am asking since my husband contacted UCSF this morning and they said that they do PT AFTER the procedure *sigh . My husband is doing Kegels since April on his own and started with core in June but I thought some professional input would be desirable. We do not have a lot of disposable income so I am wondering if getting a referral BEFORE procedure is customary or not ?
Thanks in advance 🙂

PT = personal trainer or pelvic floor therapist?

I found both on my own. My trainer I'd already known for years. The therapist was much more challenging, I called every one in town, booked appointments with every one in town to hedge my bets since they tend to be ultra booked for weeks or months and when I relayed this to my trainer she said that the one she worked with no only specialized in pelvic floor but mens pelvic floor and was a professor of it for a local college. She got me an intro, which led to an appointment within a week and it progressed from there.
