The IRAS Method

Instruction in The IRAS Method is currently only available for individual instruction to patients (Qualified health care practitioners can be instructed in a group or individual setting, in your office or ours). This groundbreaking method was first introduced by Femina Physical Therapy founder, Dr. Heather Jeffcoat, to address hypertonic and overactive pelvic floor muscles. Using research-proven techniques, the IRAS Method has transformed womens' daily lives and improved their sexual function through this step-by-step program, helping women reach their goals in as little as 2 weeks*.

TheIRAS Method is a unique combination of physical therapy, massage, lymphatic drainage and neuromuscular techniques optimized to provide the quickest recovery of pelvic floor muscle spasm, hypertonicity and/or muscle overactivity. It is a proven system to help with common painful sex, bladder and bowel diagnoses.

Typical diagnoses this program is successful with include vaginismus, vulvodynia, vulvar vestibulitis, vestibulodynia, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, interstitial cystitis, urinary urgency and/or frequency, overactive bladder, vulvar or perineal itching, painful tampon insertion, constipation and other muscle-based diagnoses that lead to painful intercourse or voiding dysfunctions. Please contact us for details.
