Participating in pelvic floor treatment while on your period is a decision left solely up to you.
Patients are still able to receive successful treatment during menstruation, regardless of whether internal pelvic floor work is done or not. However, if this is something you are not comfortable with, you can absolutely reschedule your appointment or request that no internal work is performed.

Most new moms wait about 6 weeks after giving birth, and typically not sooner than 3 weeks unless there is a major concern to be addressed.
