  • Fascial Stretch Therapy

    Fascial Stretch Therapy

    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.

  • Graston Technique

    Graston Technique for Pelvic Floor Issues and More | Femina Atlanta

    What is Graston Technique?

    Graston Technique is a type of manual therapy that uses stainless steel instruments to treat dysfunction and pain in connective tissue. It is form of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation. While the instruments may look a bit medieval, treatments should not cause extreme pain. The tools are made of stainless steel and are either concave or convex-shaped. They have rounded edges that are not sharp but can be more precise compared to a therapist’s hands. These design elements assist in diagnosing the location and isolating the treatment of a connective tissue lesion. Graston Technique is well researched and has been proven to improve tissue quality while decreasing healing time.

  • Lindsey G. / Pain during pregnancy

    Dr. Erin literally got me back on my feet!

    I came to her 7 months pregnant with debilitating sciatica and after having spent hundreds of dollars on chiropractic care with minimal results. I was not able to function normally because of the level of pain I was in, preventing me from walking & all other daily tasks. It was immediately clear that I was in the right hands. Dr. Erin has an empathetic, caring & highly personalized approach to caring for her patients. I felt relief on the first visit. I began feeling better & better until I could walk (even run!) on my own, pain-free

  • Myofascial Release Therapy

    Myofascial Release Therapy

    Myofascial Release Therapy to Alleviate Chronic Pain

    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.
