Summary

The investigators intend to measure compliance with attending pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) in a Urogynecology population by randomizing patients to either viewing a four minute educational video or reading a handout explaining the therapy.

Detailed description

Patients who have been interviewed, examined, and a plan has been made by the treating physicians in the Female Pelvic Medicine \& Reconstructive Surgery practice will be invited to participate at the end of the visit if the patient and physician mutually agree that PFPT is the treatment modality to pursue. If she agrees to participate, she will be consented and randomized. If she is randomized to standard counseling, she will be given the standard handout to read. If she is randomized to the intervention, she will receive the standard handout and view the 4-minute educational video on an iPad. At the conclusion of the counseling, patients will be asked if they have any additional questions, and these will be recorded and answered. The patient will also fill out a visual analog scale about how informed she feels regarding PFPT.
