SoftWave therapy (a specialized type of low intensity Shockwave Therapy) has been increasingly utilized in rehabilitation environments. In our offices, licensed physical therapists treat pelvic health conditions such as vestibulodynia, vulvodynia, vaginismus, pelvic pain, and other female sexual pain diagnoses, other pelvic health issues such as urinary incontinence, bladder pain and urinary urgency and frequency. As licensed physical therapists that take a whole body approach to your care, we also utillize Softwave for numerouse orthopedic conditions including neck pain, back pain, acute and chronic tendinitis', temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), DeQuarvain's Tenosynovitis, plantar fasciitis, joint pain and inflammation, sprains & strains, muscle pain, scar pain and restricted scar tissue and so much more.
Softwave therapy has many applications for new mamas as well! Softwave is well-researched for wound healing, and we utilize this to treat slow to heal or non-healing perineal lacerations from childbirth and cesarean incisions, accelerating the healing process through the creation of new blood vessels, tissue regeneration and other processes discussed below.
Myofascial restrictions can be caused by postural dysfunction, trauma, inflammatory conditions and/or surgeries. When these restrictions occur, they can produce tensile pressures up to 2,000 pounds per square inch on sensitive structure and lead to chronic pain. It essentially creates a ‘straight-jacket’ of pain around the tissue and can keep you in a cycle of pain.
Femina PT offers Fascial Stretch Therapy™, an assisted-stretching system that unlocks the flexibility potential in your body! FST™ is a unique system of therapy & training that dramatically improves your flexibility by lengthening your fascia.
Fascia is the connective tissue that envelops all structures of the body, effectively connecting them together. The problem is that fascia will thicken & shorten when any of your tissues are under stress from poor posture, improper body mechanics, lack of exercise, injury, surgery, disease or over-training. This process is accelerated when the body (and, therefore the tissues) are dehydrated.
Your therapist is a miracle worker! With a retroverted uterus and an anterior pelvic tilt, I thought sex would always be painful for me. She was always so positive about my therapy, even when I was the most skeptical. And she was right! I now have enjoyable, pain-free sex, which was something I never thought would be possible! She always made me feel comfortable and safe to express any concerns I had about treatment. She really helps you understand the connection between mind and body, and how to actively help your treatment along. I can't thank her enough, this was truly a positive experience for me!
As someone who suffered the debilitating physical and emotional effects of vaginismus (as well as a complicated history of back injuries) for more than 15 years, I thought a "normal" life was just a fantasy. Then I found Heather.
Heather is without exaggerating AMAZING! After years of trouble with a certain part of my body, in no time, she made everything change back to equilibrium and to what would be considered normal. She explains everything in detail and therefore gives you a better understanding of why things are the way they are, and how you can work towards turning things around. I would highly recommend Heather for any type of Physical Therapy. She has created her own "Method/Therapy" through years of studying (with some of the greatest practitioners), practice and breaking down the issues of her past patients, enabling her to fine tune her own system. I'm so thankful to have found her, and I'm especially grateful for the quick recovery I've achieved, after years of distress. If you cannot afford her, I recommend you purchase her book. Although it may not be Heather in person, it can still help you to get on the right path to recovery!
