Chronic pain can be a silent disruptor in your life, affecting your mobility, mood, and overall well-being. Whether it’s persistent back pain, pelvic pain, joint stiffness, or post-surgical discomfort, chronic pain can interfere with your ability to enjoy everyday activities. If you’re in Beverly Hills, Culver City, or Santa Monica, and are seeking a compassionate, evidence-based approach to pain relief, Physical therapy, Femina Physical Therapy is here to help.
Our specialized chronic pain physical therapy services are designed to address the root causes of your pain, restore function, and enhance your quality of life. By focusing on personalized, hands-on care combined with innovative therapies, we aim to improve mobility, reduce pain, and empower you to regain control over your health.
What is Chronic Pain Physical Therapy?
Chronic pain physical therapy focuses on alleviating persistent pain that lasts beyond the usual course of acute illness or injury. Unlike temporary treatments that only mask symptoms, chronic pain therapy addresses underlying dysfunctions, muscular imbalances, and nervous system sensitization that contribute to long-term pain. At Femina Physical Therapy, our approach blends manual therapy, advanced modalities, therapeutic exercise, and patient education. We believe that each patient’s journey is unique, and our team of licensed physical therapists works closely with you to develop a tailored plan that meets your specific needs. By incorporating strategies such as movement retraining, mindfulness, and holistic rehabilitation, Femina PT helps patients overcome not only physical limitations but also the emotional and psychological burden of chronic pain.
The Benefits of Chronic Pain Physical Therapy at Femina PT
1. Personalized Treatment Plans
We understand that every patient is unique, and no two chronic pain conditions are alike. Our therapists conduct thorough evaluations to identify pain sources, functional limitations, and movement patterns. Based on these findings, we design customized treatment plans aimed at improving mobility, reducing discomfort, and enhancing daily function.
Personalized care allows us to target the root causes of pain rather than merely alleviating symptoms temporarily. This approach increases long-term success rates and helps patients regain independence and confidence in their physical abilities.
2. Evidence-Based Therapies
Our clinic uses a wide range of proven therapies designed to treat chronic pain at its source:
- Manual Therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue release, and myofascial release to reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and restore range of motion. These treatments also help correct muscular imbalances, enhance functional movement, and support long-term pain relief and overall mobility.
- Shockwave (SoftWave) Therapy: A non-invasive modality that promotes healing in stubborn pain areas, encourages tissue regeneration, and breaks the chronic pain cycle. It is especially effective for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, scar tissue, and pelvic floor dysfunction, supporting faster recovery and improved overall function.
- Myofascial Techniques: Targeting fascia and trigger points to release tension, restore alignment, and improve movement efficiency. These techniques also enhance circulation, reduce muscular pain, and support long-term functional mobility.
These therapies are combined with movement retraining, postural correction, and core stabilization exercises to maximize functional recovery. By using evidence-based methods, Femina PT ensures safe and effective outcomes for each patient in Beverly Hills, or nearby areas like West Hollywood, Culver City & Santa Monica, CA.
3. Comprehensive, Holistic Care
Femina PT integrates multiple therapeutic approaches to provide comprehensive care for chronic pain sufferers. Our programs may include:
- Physical therapy and guided exercises
- Massage therapy for soft tissue relaxation
- Somatic strategies to reduce stress and improve body awareness
- Mindfulness and breathing exercises to address nervous system sensitization
By treating both physical and emotional components of chronic pain, our holistic model promotes resilience and long-term pain relief. Patients often report improvements not only in mobility but also in mood, sleep, and overall well-being.
4. Experienced and Specialized Team
Our team is trained in advanced protocols, including the IRAS Method™, particularly effective for pelvic-related chronic pain. This approach combines manual therapy, functional exercises, and education to treat complex pelvic conditions such as endometriosis, vulvodynia, and interstitial cystitis.
With years of experience in treating chronic pain conditions, our therapists bring expertise and compassion to every session. Our goal is to empower patients through knowledge, guided practice, and hands-on techniques that promote lasting recovery.
