You Shouldn't Have to Drive to Memphis for This
It's a frustrating pattern that a lot of Oxford women know well. You ask your OB or your GP about pelvic floor therapy, and they either look at you blankly or hand you a Memphis referral. So you either make that drive or you just stop asking.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a real specialty, and for a long time Oxford didn't have a dedicated provider. That's changed. Dr. Meg Cochran is based here and serves south Oxford neighborhoods including Southpointe with in home visits.
No highway, no two-hour round trip, no scheduling around a long drive with a baby in the car.
What Pelvic Floor PT Actually Is
It's not just Kegels. That's the most common misconception. Pelvic floor physical therapy involves hands on assessment and treatment of the muscles, connective tissue, and nerves of the pelvic region.
For some people, the pelvic floor is too tight, which causes pain. For others it's too weak, causing leaking or prolapse symptoms. A lot of people have both going on at different points. A trained pelvic PT like Meg can tell the difference and treat accordingly.
Doing the wrong exercises for your situation can actually make things worse. That's why an assessment matters before anything else.

The First Visit, Start to Finish
Meg comes to your Southpointe home with everything needed for a full evaluation. The first session runs two hours. She takes a detailed history, listens to what you've been dealing with, and does a physical assessment.
By the end of that first visit, you'll know what's actually going on and what the treatment plan looks like. Not vague next steps, a real plan with a real timeline.
Follow up visits are shorter and can continue at your home. HSA and FSA are accepted.
What Mobile Pelvic Floor PT Means for Southpointe Patients
For Southpointe families, the math on traditional clinic PT often doesn't work. By the time you've planned the drive on Highway 7 South, found someone to watch the kids, and timed it around school or work, a single appointment eats four hours. Meg's mobile model collapses that down to the actual session. She drives to your home in Southpointe, treats you privately, and gets out of your way.
What this means in practice: kids stay with you. The pelvic floor exam happens in privacy. There's no scrambling to be on time or a 15 minute clinic slot that gets cut short because the next patient is waiting. Patients in Southpointe consistently say the at-home setting changes how the work feels, calmer, more honest, more useful.
Common questions from Southpointe patients
Where in my home will Meg work? She brings a portable treatment table and basic supplies. Most Southpointe patients have her set up in a bedroom, living room, or any private space with about 6 feet of clear floor. No special equipment, no rearranging your house.
What about parking and access? Meg parks on the street or in your driveway, whichever is easiest. If your home in Southpointe has a gate code, callbox, or specific entry instructions, send those when you book and she'll plan around it.
How fast can I get on the schedule? Most patients in Southpointe book a free 15 minute Discovery Call first. From there, the initial evaluation usually fits within the same week or the following one, depending on what your schedule looks like.
