This Week at Femina Physical Therapy
Are you suffering from Central Sensitization? We can help!
Plus an update to our Dyspareunia (Painful Sex) Study
Even though it's no longer Pelvic Pain Awareness Month, around here...the conversation never stops. And if you are having chronic pain, we understand the challenges you face in finding the right treatment and support.
Pain begets pain, and it's known that the presence of just one chronic pain condition increases your risk of having additional chronic pain diagnoses. To learn more about it, read this article on chronic overlapping pain conditions by our therapist, Anna Larson, PT, DPT.
The process of pain leading to more pain is also well studied and CAN be treated. It happens through a process called Central Sensitization and is when our brain "turns up the volume" on the pain signals we receive, to the point where even a light touch can be perceived as pain in severe cases. Your pain is not "in your head", but your brain is an important part of the processing of this pain. Patients need a skilled provider or providers that understand this pain science concept in order to help you find your way out of pain. Read more about Central Sensitization here. And we are here for you!
We have an update to our Dyspareunia (Painful Sex) Study! Due to a change in our protocols, we are now enrolling ALL eligible participants for just a $40 copay. Tell a friend! If you qualify, it's your chance to receive our world-class care at over 80% off (all eligibility criteria must be met). Find out more about our study here.
As always thank you so much for being a subscriber to our newsletter, and remember that you can also stay in touch by following us on InstaGram at @feminapt and @dr.heatherjeffcoat.

You need to find a trusted CBD manufacturing company. A company that focuses on quality and transparency is key to finding CBD products that are safe and effective. Two main quality items to keep an eye open for are COAs (certificates of analysis) and a medical director.
Pacific Roots uses third-party laboratories to test the raw oil and then the finished products because a quality manufacturer will have two rounds of COA testing. This first test analyzes the purity of the oil, from pesticides to residual solvents. The second test looks at the potency of the finished product making sure it is in compliance with the USDA Farm Bill.
