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.
