What Is Chronic Pain Physical Therapy?
Chronic Pain Physical Therapy is not just treatment—it’s a strategic path forward. It focuses on understanding and addressing pain that persists beyond normal healing time—whether it’s pelvic, orthopedic, or musculoskeletal in nature. At Femina Physical Therapy, chronic pain isn’t an afterthought; it’s our specialty. Our therapists are all licensed, with advanced credentials (lymphedema, Pilates, yoga, massage, stretch therapy, certified strength and conditioning)—and sessions are always one-on-one, spanning 55–120 minutes to give your body the focused care it needs. We create an environment combining hands-on manual therapy, real-time feedback, and science-backed movement strategies to silence chronic pain at its source.

Conditions Treated with Chronic Pain Physical Therapy
At Femina Physical Therapy in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Burbank, Brentwood, and West LA, we provide expert care for women experiencing persistent or overlapping pain conditions. Our approach addresses both the physical and emotional toll of chronic pain while creating individualized treatment plans that restore comfort, function, and quality of life.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain—Chronic pelvic pain can stem from multiple conditions such as endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pudendal neuralgia, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and even persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD). At our Sherman Oaks clinic, we serve the Brentwood, Studio City, Burbank and West LA are, offering physical therapy focuses on pelvic floor rehabilitation, manual therapy, and nervous system down-training to ease discomfort, improve mobility, and restore intimacy.
2. Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Conditions—Lingering joint and muscle pain can interfere with daily function and long-term wellness. Whether it’s low back pain, neck stiffness, hip discomfort, TMJ disorders, tendon or muscle strain, or scar tissue pain, our physical therapy programs in Sherman Oaks provide targeted manual therapy, soft tissue release, and strengthening exercises to restore mobility and reduce recurring pain.
3. Scar-Related Discomfort—Surgical scars often create tightness, restricted movement, or ongoing pain if left untreated. At Femina PT, we address C-section scars, hysterectomy scars, and laparoscopic scar tissue through gentle scar mobilization, myofascial release, and personalized rehabilitation techniques, helping patients regain flexibility, comfort, and confidence in their recovery.
4. Functional Bowel Issues—Pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly affect bowel health, leading to conditions like constipation, dyssynergic defecation, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Through pelvic floor retraining, core stabilization, and lifestyle guidance, our team in Brentwood, Sherman Oaks, and West LA helps restore healthy bowel function and reduce discomfort.
5. Post-Surgical Pain – After procedures such as endometriosis excision surgery, hysterectomy, C-section, or orthopedic surgery, chronic pain and scar tissue can disrupt mobility and daily activities. Our physical therapy programs focus on scar mobilization, core strengthening, and functional movement training, supporting women in achieving full recovery while preventing future complications.
6. Neurological & Nerve-Related Pain
Conditions like pudendal neuralgia, sciatica, or nerve sensitization can lead to persistent burning, numbness, or sharp pain. At Femina PT, we use nerve gliding, posture correction, and desensitization strategies to reduce irritation and retrain the nervous system, offering long-term relief and restored function for patients in Sherman Oaks, or surrounding areas like Brentwood, Studio City, Burbank and West LA.
