Madison ★★★★★
Jess was incredibly helpful and supportive during and after my pregnancies. My only regret is I wish I would’ve gone sooner. She’s as lovely as she is brilliant and is such a gift to the madison community
Chelsea ★★★★★
I absolutely loved my time working with Jessica on my post partum health journey! She taught me so much about my body and ways to help heal my core that I still use an entire year later. I cannot recommend her enough!
Keli ★★★★★
Jess was the second pelvic floor PT I saw and I feel she diagnosed me appropriately on our first visit. I appreciate her assistance as I prepare for a vbac. My OBGYN is impressed by Jess and her expertise as well.
FAQs
-
No, we are out of network with HMO plans. If you would like to work together, it would be self-pay. Please keep in mind that physical therapy is eligible under HSA and FSA plans.
-
If you have Medicare, you will need a referral from your primary care physician. Otherwise, if you have private insurance (or are self-pay), you can come right in. Often, we will want to communicate with your providers about your PT plan of care in order to ensure continuity of care.
-
Not necessarily. Being a pelvic health clinic, this happens pretty much daily around here! As long as you are comfortable, we would still love to see you.
-
Sometimes (depending on your symptoms) a pelvic exam is helpful to determine how best to support you. We do this exam vaginally (without using stirrups or a speculum!) We discuss the pros, cons, risks and alternatives for pelvic exam for each individual. You can use this info to make the best choice for you. We work together on attaining full informed consent prior to ever proceeding with a pelvic examination.
-
If you are having symptoms and need emotional, physical and/or educational support, we’d be happy to see you in clinic or virtually at any point postpartum. I’ve provided support virtually 2 days after birth! If you want a full postpartum assessment that includes a pelvic exam, you’ll wait until you are 6 weeks postpartum.
-
If you are having pelvic symptoms like leakage, pain, core weakness or changes in sexual health, we want to see you no matter where you are in your pregnancy.
-
Absolutely! One of my favorite things to do help people prepare for pregnancy. As this is a wellness visit we would not be able to bill your insurance. This is a self-pay visit.
-
We certainly believe so. There is so much we can offer you from the comfort of your own home (or office). We’ve supported many women virtually and have had very positive feedback on this option.
-
We know life is unpredictable at times. We also know that we typically have patients on our wait list looking for the next soonest appointment. Given this, we ask for 24 hours (or more!) notice if you need to change or cancel an appointment. If you have more than 1 appointment change without 24 hours notice, then you will incur a $50 charge.
-
Due to the one-on-one and personal nature of our appointments we regretfully are unable to accommodate students at our clinic.
-
While it's likely perfectly safe, pelvic PTs wait until the 2nd trimester before doing an internal pelvic exam. There is still a way to assess the pelvic muscles externally and there is still plenty of additional support we can provide if you are having unwanted symptoms.

About Us
Jessica Dufault, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist / Women’s Health Coach
Jessica is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, though she prefers to simply be called Jess. With over 20 years of experience, she still loves the complexity and challenge of understanding the human body, especially the pelvis.
Throughout her career, Jessica has gained deep insight into the healthcare system and has seen firsthand the gap between the support women need and what they often receive. Helping to bridge that gap is what motivates her every day.
When she’s not thinking or talking about pelvic health, Jessica enjoys spending time in nature, listening to podcasts, being with her family, and savoring a good, hot cup of coffee.
