What Our Patients Say About Their Journey

Testimonial by R.M., Age 40

I can’t speak highly enough of the therapists at Femina Physical Therapy and how much they have helped me grow, discover, and love my body. I had had painful sex for my entire life, and didn’t know that there was anything that could be done about it. It was at the point where my husband and I were not having sex for MONTHs, because it was just too frustrating, and I hated feeling like I was the ONLY woman out there who had this problem, especially at my age. I finally...

Once I finally opened my eyes up to the fact that I had a...

Testimonial by Rosanna R., age 35

Many women in my life also suffered with pain from sex after their babies were born so I knew I...
