Our treatment sessions have always been 1:1 for 55-120 minutes with only licensed physical therapists. We create our schedule around what YOU need to reach your goals - 1 hour not enough? We can do longer appointment times by request!
Contact us here if you would like to schedule an appointment at one of our Los Angeles offices.
Self Care at Home
If you are not ready for an in-office visit, you can still connect with us!
We have always emphasized a home program for our patients, and with great success. Femina PT founder Heather Jeffcoat even wrote a book that emphasizes self care.
While it is true that hands-on therapy has been proven to benefit those with chronic pain, pelvic pain, incontinence, and more, it is also true that every successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Our trained therapists will listen to your story, observe your movements, and make the appropriate recommendations for your particular situation.
In short, a one-on-one telehealth or coaching session is a simple, effective, and private option. Click here for more info.
