Pain Management at Femina Physical Therapy

In Office Sessions Available

We are still offering in-office one-on-one therapy sessions.

We have always adhered to only the safest health measures in our practice, and we will continue to do so long after the Covid crisis has passed.

Self Care at Home

If you are not ready for an in-office visit, you can still feel connected.

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 session is a simple, effective, and private option. Click here for more info.

Utilizing Shockwave Therapy in Rehabilitation

We are excited to offer shockwave therapy at our Sherman Oaks office

Shockwave has been increasingly utilized in rehabilitation environments. Shockwave therapy has well-researched applications not only for conditions like wound healing, but is also useful for general orthopedic conditions including joint inflammation, sprains and strains. It can also help create angiogenesis and activate healing in the body.

There are two primary types of shockwave therapy, low intensity and high intensity. High intensity focused shockwave would be the type used in lithotripsy for kidney stones, for example. This type of energy wave can break up tissue and be very precise. Low intensity shockwave has a therapeutic effect and is the one we utilize in rehabilitation. Focused, low intensity shockwave is believed to create microtrauma to then stimulate healing. Unfocused shockwave does not cause microtrauma and is believed to stimulate healing through mechanotransduction.

Learn How Positional Release Therapy Can Help Ease Your Pain

Positional Release Therapy is a gentle technique that works with the body’s natural desire to move away from pain and towards comfort. We bring the body to a position of comfort, add gentle compression, and connect through subtle energy. We remind the body of its innate “happy place” and invite you to come back to relaxation and ease.

Not local to the Los Angeles area? No problem!

At Fusion Wellness & Femina Physical Therapy, we understand that specialized pelvic health care is not found in every community.

We have many patients that travel from outside of the Los Angeles area for routine or intermittent care. These patients are seen by Heather Jeffcoat in our Sherman Oaks, CA office. Weekend accommodations can also be made if necessary.

To get started, a 55 minute consultation via telehealth in California (or virtual consultations worldwide) is scheduled so that your individual needs can be met.

Unlike other offices, your first visit to Femina Physical Therapy is a thorough 85 minute evaluation.

Here's an outline of what to expect when it comes to pelvic floor therapy.

The goal of this initial evaluation is to understand all the different layers that could possibly be contributing to your condition. Once we understand the root causes of your issue, we will formulate a treatment plan to help you start feeling better, experiencing less pain, and getting back to the activities that you care about.

We know you have a lot on your plate.

We have always emphasized a home program for our patients and with great success. Fusion Wellness PT/Femina PT founder Heather Jeffcoat even wrote a book that emphasizes the importance and effectiveness of self care.
