Dr. Heather Jeffcoat, PT, DPT
I am passionate about providing the specialized care that women deserve at every stage of life. My goal is to help as many women as possible with the tools and knowledge they need for chronic pelvic pain management, preconception, healthy pregnancy, postpartum period and supporting through perimenopause and beyond. I also focus on helping them maintain a fulfilling sex life and manage treatable symptoms they may face. The team at Femina includes compassionate and skilled professionals who specialize in pelvic floor therapy and attain advanced certifications such as Board Certification in Orthopedics, lymphedema management, yoga, pilates, strength & conditioning, dry needling and fascial stretch therapy. Issues like pelvic muscle dysfunction and conditions such as vaginismus, vesibulodynia and endometriosis can greatly affect sexual enjoyment, or the ability to engage in intercourse at all. However, therapy from a well-trained pelvic floor physical therapist can improve sexual health, reduce or eliminate pain and enhance overall well-being. - Dr. Heather

Sex without Pain
By Dr. Heather Jeffcoat, PT, DPT
Heather created this insightful book to assist people worldwide who have reached out to her for much-needed advice and guidance. With a wealth of experience and numerous successes over the years, she felt a strong desire to share her valuable knowledge through a comprehensive self-help guide that women and their partners could easily use in the comfort of their own homes. The book places a significant emphasis on the innovative IRAS Method, which intricately combines physical therapy, therapeutic massage, and specialized neuromuscular techniques to promote fast and effective recovery from various pelvic floor muscle issues, such as painful spasms and troublesome overactivity.
