Self Care at Home
If you are not ready for an in-office visit, you can still connect with us!
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 or coaching session is a simple, effective, and private option. Click here for more info.

Utilizing Shockwave Therapy in Rehabilitation
We are excited to offer SoftWave's shockwave therapy at our Sherman Oaks and Beverly Hills offices
SoftWave therapy (also called Shockwave Therapy) has been increasingly utilized in rehabilitation environments. Shockwave therapy has well-researched applications not only for conditions like wound healing, but is also general orthopedic conditions including joint inflammation, sprains and strains and urologic issues such as incontinence, erectile dysfunction and pain. It can also help create angiogenesis and activate healing in the body.
There are two types of shockwave devices, high intensity and low 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. We use the SoftWave OrthoGold® and UroGold® Broad Focused, low-intensity device in our offices. Broad focused shockwave does not cause microtrauma and is believed to stimulate healing through mechanotransduction. Shockwave is marketed under different names, and not all machines are the same. SoftWave specifically does not create microtrauma and therefore does not damage the tissue.
