What Our Patients Say About Their Journey

Testimonial by Julie T.

Femina PT (née Fusion Wellness & Physical Therapy) has honestly changed my life. Before receiving treatment at Femina, I was going doctor to doctor to try and find the answer to my pelvic pain.

Dr. Erin has an empathetic, caring & highly personalized approach to caring for her patients. I...
