My Husband Told Me I Have To Go Somewhere Else

October 31, 2026

As pelvic health physical therapists, we often hear statements like: “My husband told me I have to go somewhere else.” “My partner said I need to find an in-network provider.” “My spouse said it costs too much and I need to find someone cheaper.”‍ These are common concerns from women reaching out about pelvic floor issues and lower back pain during pregnancy and postpartum. And honestly, it makes us pause. Is your partner really the best person to choose your healthcare provider for you? We deeply value the support and input of loved ones, but when it comes to personal healthcare decisions—especially something as intimate as pelvic health—the choice should ultimately be yours.

‍

Your Health, Your Choice

Think about it—have you ever asked your partner to choose your:

  • Gynecologist
  • Midwife
  • Primary Care Physician
  • Mental Health Provider
  • Physical Therapist
  • Dentist
  • Optometrist
  • Acupuncturist
  • Chiropractor

‍

If you have, that’s completely okay—there’s no judgment here. But if you find yourself deferring these decisions, it may be worth exploring why.

‍

Is it the financial aspect?

‍

Or is it challenging to make decisions for yourself?

‍

Perhaps deep down, there’s some uncertainty in trusting yourself?

‍

You’re Not Alone

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone. Taking ownership of your health is an empowering step, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

‍

Let’s Talk

If you’re ready to explore what’s been going on with your body, what your goals are, and how you can start feeling strong and confident again, we’d love to invite you to a complimentary discovery session.

‍

Your sense of safety, confidence, and well-being matter deeply—and they are directly tied to your pelvic health. Our team is here to help you reclaim that power and guide you on your journey to healing and self-trust.
