I cannot recommend this practice highly enough! The staff (from scheduling to therapy and follow up) are professional, kind and supportive. I absolutely feel as at home as I possibly could being in treatment. Femina PT has helped me with several different issues with different therapists and they really made me feel heard and seen, and they genuinely care about my comfort and recovery. Can I give more than 5 stars?? read more

Heather & her incredible compassionate team of reputable highly skilled therapists have helped me immensely. They are very private & professional in this practice & have helped me immensely whereas other practices have not been as successful. Thank you Femina! read more

Dr. Heather Jeffcoat was instrumental in helping me understand and address my endometriosis!

I was impressed with the professional service and care. Ashley is very thorough and she was able to prescribed specific therapy for my feet. I am very pleased with the treatment and highly recommend Fusion for physical therapy and rehabilitation. William Lanza Sr. read more

Fusion/Femina and my specific PT, Kasia Gondek, helped heal me after many years of pelvic and vulvar pain. I was diagnosed with Neuroproliferative Vestibulodynia, which had caused many years of tension and muscle guarding that created added muscular pain to the area on top of the nerve pain that comes with the condition. I ended up getting a vestibulectomy, and pelvic PT was a critical part of my post-op care. I had to re-train those muscles to exist in a relaxed state and trust that the vestibular pain was no longer there. It took hard work, but the care, intelligence, patience, and empathy that I received during that time was next-level. I can't imagine going through that difficult time without anyone but the extraordinary Kasia Gondek. She was a safe space for me to really feel difficult feelings from so many years of pain, but also poor treatment from ill-informed doctors. Kasia always made sure that she was well-educated on the new health research coming out in this quickly developing field of medicine. She's brilliant, caring, and everything you would hope for from a person involved in a very intimate healthcare process. I will be forever grateful for how she helped me cross the finish line of a pain-free life!! read more

Jillian is my PT and she is SAVING.MY.LIFE. No, seriously! My back pain was debilitating and the PT I was prescribed by my horrible insurance was making it worse! I called fusion and Heather directed me to working with Jillian. I am so so thankful. ALSO- the new space in Glendale is awesome! Plenty of parking, large rooms, privacy, and plenty of room for all the gear! And Margaret, who holds down the fort at the front desk is so fun to catch up with. She is thorough but laid back and never misses a beat regarding all things logistics and scheduling. Y'all, this place is great! read more

I started seeing Heather to treat my Interstitial Cystitis in November 2016. At this time, I was extremely miserable, in constant pain, and felt as though no one was listening or understood what was going on with my body. I have just finished my last appointment and I can honestly say that my life has completely changed for the better because of Heather and her team of PTs! I live almost completely pain free, and when I do have flare ups, I am able to treat them at home on my own. I am so grateful that this office was recommended to me a honestly cannot recommend them enough! Thank you so much to Heather, Laureen, Lacey, and everyone at Fusion Wellness and Physical Therapy! read more

It takes a special person to make you feel completely at ease when you're engaging in such intimate physical therapy and Kasia is that person. She is a thorough professional, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about helping her patient's feel better. I started feeling better after the first session. Additionally, Sabina and the other women at the front desk are positive, re-assuring, and friendly. It's a very warm and encouraging environment read more

I came to Femina in a state of pain and desperation in February 2022. To be frank, I was experiencing debilitating pelvic pain and had run the gamut of many tests (hormonal panels, UTIs, pap smear/cancer screening, etc.)before I started researching pelvic floor therapy options. And that's when I came across Fusion/Femina and the amazing work of Kasia Gondek, PT extraordinaire. I started seeing Kasia in February for pelvic floor treatment and hip impingement (pain in hip, groin, very tight hamstrings, psoas, IT). Too much sitting WFH, too little movement. Kasia is exceptional. We outlined an 8-week plan initially, then extended as needed. Met 2x/week at first, then tapered down once I got stronger. And I did get stronger. Pain subsided, then gone. Kasia's skills, demeanor (positive, encouraging, kind), overall communication skills, and knowledge are exceptional. She is an expert in physical therapy. She did manual treatments during my sessions, and then when I progressed, we did strength training, including some work on the pilates reformer, in the studio. She recommended solid equipment for purchase (exercise strap, ball, yoga cushion and block, and pelvic wand), all of which I used diligently. Unfortunately I have some other physical issues that came up at the end of August (torn labrum, bone spurs on hip) that will require surgery. BUT the pelvic floor recovery and my overall progress was really due to Kasia's amazing work. Montrose studio is also clean, open good hours (M, T 7:00 a.m. - 6 p.m.). The front staff (especially Iris) were pleasant and very responsive (sometimes I had to cancel or move appointments - they were great with scheduling). If you have pelvic pain and/or need pelvic or PT, please go see Kasia at Femina. read more

I had tried Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy before (with another PT) and I had a really bad (painful) experience. A friend of mine and fellow patient, told me about Heather, Laureen and Fusion Wellness and Physical Therapy and I decided to try again. I am so happy I did! Fusion Wellness & PT have, literally, changed my life. I was able to do again things I couldn't do for over 10 years!! Their bedside manners are impeccable, their knowledge and understanding make me feel comfortable to recommend this place to anyone in pain. Specially if you have Endometriosis. 100% recommended!! read more

I just can't say enough. Heather is a wonderful Therapist,Business Owner and Human being! 5 STARS. I feel so many times better since initially meeting with her and now have a strong belief in this treatment, not to mention a huge improvement in my condition. Laureen is an outstanding therapist that also deserves every compliment and gratitude. 5 STARS. So I guess this is a 10 STAR review :) read more

I am so thankful for this place! After having my second son, sex was just not the same...it was painful. I was seeing a pelvic floor therapist through my insurance and was not seeing any improvement and felt I wasn't getting well rounded treatment (based off a pelvic floor therapy Instagram account I follow) so my husband and I agreed to pay out of pocket to try Fusion Wellness. I called to schedule an appt and was scheduled within a week. The front desk girl was always friendly and super helpful. They are taking every COVID precaution as well; I felt very safe being there. I saw Lisa Weeks at the La Canada office once a week for 4 weeks, sex is back to what it was before and I even graduated already thanks for the quick healing!! Lisa has a background in personal training and physical therapy so she treated my whole body and even helped me activate my core and prepare for working out again. She also explains everything so clearly and is overall a lovely personality. I can not use enough words to say that going to see Lisa was worth every penny! read more

I found Fusion Wellness on APTA and I couldn't be happier! Everyone is so down to earth and friendly! They specialize in women's care so I've been treated by Laureen for back, neck and shoulder pain after having my baby. She's so sweet, caring and knowledgeable! I love being treated by her and completely trust her expertise. I highly recommend Laureen and this location. read more

5 stars for Laureen because she is an awesome therapist, and I have seen a big improvement. Minus one star for the reception who can be a bit pushy and borderline rude at times. I understand that she may need to follow protocol but you need to be a bit more pleasant and friendly at a customer service position where the client is paying $200 each time. I have been very tempted to switch to another PT based on the difficulty with scheduling appointments, but Laureen is just that good. read more

Fusion Wellness has been such an answer to prayer, i'm so glad I found them! I've been struggling with vaginismus my whole life, but didn't have a name for it until about 6 or 7 months ago. Even once I did have a name for it though, I didn't know where to begin in getting help. My OB/GYN had me get a set of dilators, but I couldn't even insert the smallest one by myself. Most times I tried I just ended up frustrated and in tears. I felt really alone, like I was broken and didn't have the energy to keep trying. When I got engaged a few months ago though, I realized I needed to get answers so i wasn't dreading my honeymoon. It took a while to get insurance to approved treatment, but it was so worth the work! In just a month of meeting with my PT, Lacey, I have made incredible process! I'm finally feeling like I understand my body and with the guidance of my sessions I now have a system in place for how I can work on my health in my own time. I'm already half way through the dilators set and can finally use Tampons for the first time in my life. I feel so empowered, educated, and I am seeing measurable change and progress. It takes work, but it has been so worth it and none of it would have been possible without Lacey and the whole staff at Fusion! Thank you so so much!!! read more

Jill was incredible in helping me overcome some postpartum pelvic floor issues. Her positive and empathetic attitude combined with her expertise kept me motivated and now I am completely symptom free! My quality of life has improved dramatically in just a few months. I cannot recommend her or any of the other therapists here highly enough. read more

We are so grateful for Fusion Rehab and Wellness! My daughter's Othopedic Doctor refereed her for physical therapy for a gymnastics injury and treatment of two high ankle sprains! It was right before her State Meet Competition. We really needed to get in as soon as possible. The therapist she was originally referred to was completely booked for evaluation however they checked their other location in Spotsylvania and were able to make a quicker appointment. My Daughter's therapist was able to straightway identify with my daughter's pain and came up with a plan specifically to suit/accommodate her needs as a gymnast. She felt so comfortable with the level of knowledge, time and care that had been given she wanted to continue with her for treatment. We were just getting started good when the coronavirus shut downs began. When the Governor called for additional social distance measures the leaders and facilities immediately began even stricter measures and prevention measures to comply with all the guidelines while maintaining critical care and treatment during this crisis. They have taken extraordinary measures to clean after each patient as well as to maintain social distancing and appointment numbers in compliance with CDC and State Standards. The level of professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness of the Director and staff is outstanding. I find them to be very purposeful, caring and considerate. They conduct their services both responsibly and respectfully! I would greatly recommend them for treatment and care. read more

Fusion Health and Wellness has honestly changed my life. Before receiving treatment at Fusion, I was going to doctor to doctor to try and find the answer to my pelvic pain. It has taken me YEARS to find someone that can help fix this. It wasn't until my gynecologist recommended your clinic that I finally felt relief. My pelvic pain is almost gone, and granted I still have a lot more to work on with Laureen (my PT), my original problem is nearly cured. I am so grateful to her. What is even better is she gave me practical exercises to do at home that were not tedious and provided instant (and lasting) relief. Although I mainly work with Laureen, my interaction with the owner (Heather) has been great. She is very generous, kind, and committed to her business. It hurts to know there are women out there suffering who will never know or have the opportunity to work with women like Laureen and Heather because this issue is hardly talked about and this field is so rare. I hope more doctors and physical therapists see the value in this work and can relieve more woman of their pain. read more

Fusion Wellness PT changed my life forever and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to get the help I received from them. I am from Alaska and had looked around for a Doctor for about 3 years after first realizing that sex was painful(and continued to get worse and worse). I never found a Doctor I felt had the answer to the root of the issue. I had seen probably a total of 8 OBGYN's(who should know about this), 1 PT, and 6 normal doctors and they all diagnosed me but never gave me a path to head down. When I first contacted Heather, she responded immediately and let me know how exactly she could meet my needs. After a bit of corresponding emails I decided to move to California for a few months and try this. Heather thought that to make the most of my time there I should do 3 appointments per week for at least 4 months. So in a matter of weeks I was living in LA and going to their awesome office 3 days a week. At my first appointment when Heather performed the muscle trigger release technique internally, I felt the pain dissipate within a matter of seconds. I was totally shocked. I had never had this experience and to me this was a huge deal. After my first appointment, I cried with my husband and told him how excited I was to have finally found an answer to what seemed like the impossible. Heather explained things in a very clear way that made perfect sense to me. She is extremely knowledgeable and has SO much experience with vaginismus patients. No other doctor had an answer for me right away, let alone the right answer. Every appointment I went to I felt like I was improving in some way or another. I am forever grateful to Heather and Lacy for all they did for me and all the explaining and time they spent working with me on various things. I like to ask a lot of questions and they were more than willing to answer any and all questions I had. After about 4 months of this therapy I was able to have pain-free sex for the first time. If you a reading this, it means you probably are looking for an answer to some sort of pelvic pain. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and go see Heather at Fusion Wellness PT in LA, California. Seriously, if I did it and I live in Alaska then you can too. Trust me, it is absolutely worth it. We stayed in Burbank, CA and the commute was very fast and easy everyday. I know LA traffic can be a pain but there was always somewhere to park outside the office and its in a nice part of town(Starbucks down the block). It was simple to get there and get back to where we were staying which took away a lot of the stress. There are many places to stay near by, so if that is a concern of yours, don't worry!!! Heather was extremely helpful in letting my husband and I know about all the fun things to do in LA. She always made us laugh when we came in the office and we always felt at home there. Heather also has a very professional but caring demeanor that always made me feel comfortable. Beth(the front desk lady) was amazing in helping us find places we needed to get things and very down to earth and kind to us. Lacey always had lots of good info for us and always listened to what we had to say and was willing to talk about anything. She also helped me a lot with hip pain that was having which I am very thankful for. We cannot say enough things about these amazing people that changed our life forever. We are thankful beyond what words can describe. I recommend them to anyone looking to find a way out of pelvic pain...there is no other place quite like them!! We love this team!! read more

Here is an update from my ongoing issues with getting my money after my 2 appts with Fusion Wellness. It's been an extremely frustrating experience dealing with this and it's one of the first times I have never gotten my reimbursements in 3 - 4 weeks. I feel like the truth may lie somewhere in the middle but with my insurance continually pointing the finger at Fusion Wellness and Fusion pointing the finger at Care First Administrators it's hard to figure out where to lay the blame. I will say this I have filed a complaint with the CA Department of Insurance because I have now gotten a completely different story from my insurance company. Initially they said Fusion had my checks and that they had been sitting on them. This apparently was not true. They rec'd my checks on 9/18/18 and the checks were cut on 8/29/18. So clearly my insurance was lying - my apologies to Fusion. I really did think they double dipped, I was wrong. However to be fair to my insurance company they said that Fusion submitted the claim to Blue Shields CA when they should of submitted the claim directly to them. The supervisor indicated when claims go through Blue Shields CA then they are only able to send payment directly to the provider - now whether this is true or not I have no clue, the woman I spoke to was a supervisor but again I already caught them in one lie so this could be false as well. Fusion mailed me the checks instead of mailing them back to Care First administrators and now this has created a whole other set of problems as my insurance does not want to cut new checks until they receive the first set of checks so now I have to mail the checks to Care First Administrators. All in all this has been a hellish experience and a huge waste of my time. I would suggest everyone continue to stay in network because the system is just set up to fail otherwise. read more

Lacey was my PT for postpartum. She was extremely thorough and made me feel empowered with lots and lots of information. Even with a relatively easy birth with no tearing I was having issues with urinary incontinence. Ladies- It's not normal or ok to have to live with this after you have a baby! My issues were cleared up in under 10 visits and Lacey's expertise has played a huge role in my healing. read more

I wish i could give this place 10 stars!! I have been suffering from vaginismus for 5 years and never found the cure to it. I had seen an ob/gyn and he diagnosed me with vaginismus and told me i needed a surgery to cure my condition, which i refused to do. He also referred me to a PT that he works with, i had given them multiple calls and they never responded back to me, so i started searching yelp for another PT. I am SO HAPPY I found Heather's office! I was working with Laureen, and with her guidance and techniques i was able to be cured from vaginismus in only 2 1/2 short months!!! I couldn't believe how quickly their program worked for me! I am forever grateful and thankful from Heather, and Laureen! They are the absolute best at what they do! Heather is so amazing, before i even made my first appointment i was emailing her back and forth and she would always be so efficient is answering all my questions and i wasn't even a patient there yet! I would always call the front office and ask questions and Margaret would always be so kind and friendly! Everyone in this office is so professional and kind, i never once felt uncomfortable going in there! This office is the only office i have ever stepped foot in and never felt like they were all about money, they are the only office who truly cares about their patients! They are so educated in their field, and i will always be grateful for their office for helping me!! read more

I have been going to see Heather for a while now, and I can't tell you enough how much she has improved my quality of life. Heather specializes in issues like pelvic floor, but I see her for other orthopedic issues. I have a lot of chronic joint pain and dysfunction issues (back, hips, neck) that require that have ongoing physical therapy maintenance. The effects of my problem joints/areas overlap and interconnect with each other in complex ways, so helping me requires really having a complete understanding of the entire skeletal and muscular system. Pain does not always appear where the problem actually is, the human body is a twisty, many-layered puzzle. I have an exercise program I do at home and I am very functional, but there are just something things I need a PT to help me out with. I had been seeing someone out of state for several years, so when I moved to CA I had to find a new PT. This was a painful process, both literally and figuratively. I have seen DOZENS of PT's in the area and was unable to find anyone who could deal with the level of complexity of my issues. Part of this is because I was trying to find an in-network provider, but so many of those offices just want to get patients quickly in and out the door - quantity over quality. Those types of places can offer perfectly fine, efficient, and less expensive treatment for simple issues, but I am anything but simple. I also kept having PTs be completely dismissive of what I knew and understood about my own body from my previous YEARS of intimately getting to know my issues. I actually walked of one evaluation in the middle because the guy was so condescending to me (not to mention wrong about my diagnosis). Not only was this frustrating and demoralizing, but I went months without getting help which made all of my problems keep getting worse and worse and worse. By the time I found Heather, I was a complete mess, in constant pain, and I could barely turn my head because my neck was so messed up. Right away she impressed me with her knowledge and experience. I told her about my history and the type of treatment I got from my previous PT, and she LISTENED. A lot of PTs assume a patient doesn't know anything about what is happening in their own body. Even if they don't have much experience, the patient's interpretation of what they feel is important to understanding the issue, and it makes them feel understood, validated, and in good hands. She explained her approach, and when she does things that differ from my usual experience, she explains what she is doing and why. She is extremely professional and courteous, I don't feel uncomfortable talking with her or having her work on me. When she does to manual work, you can feel that she clearly understands what she is doing, and she is GOOD at it. Her treatment plan for me is a mix of manual therapy and in-office + home stretches and exercises (this will all vary based on your issue of course). She wants to help you get better, but she also emphasizes preventative care and tries to give you the skills and knowledge to take care of yourself so that you (ideally) don't need more PT in the future. I also appreciate that she occasionally takes continuing education courses to learn new techniques from other PTs, and keeps up on new research in the field. Together we have even made progress on my issues beyond where I was with my previous PT - I'm not the kind of person who will probably ever be able to go completely without a PT in my life, but working with her I can see a future where I don't need it very often and I'm mostly pain free. I can't thank Heather enough for what she has done for me, and I'm glad I have someone I can trust when I need help. This has made me feel better physically, emotionally, and made me more functional and productive in my life/work. You will be in excellent hands with her! read more

Heather's unique physical therapy program literally changed my life! After years of struggling with vaginismus, a condition that made it impossible for me to have intercourse and very difficult to use tampons without pain, a gynecologist referred me to Heather. I was nervous for my first appointment, but Heather's professional and friendly demeanor put me at ease. She did a great job explaining each technique she was using to help my muscles relax. Heather uses a combination of internal and external stretches and exercises to relax the pelvic floor and build muscle strength. Her specially developed home program helped me quickly recover from an issue that seemed insurmountable before meeting Heather. She was optimistic about my progress and incredibly encouraging. Less than 6 months after my first session, I was able to have pain-free sex for the first time in my life! If you are suffering from vaginismus or any other pelvic floor issues, I highly recommend making an appointment with Heather and reading her book! read more

Life-changing. In less than a year - and in my late 60s! - my whole body and body awareness has changed. I haven't felt this in touch with my core since before I became a mother in my early 30s. I despise most PT- stupid boring repetitions for no apparent reason; I always hurt myself internally trying to "do it right." With Heather, I was outspoken about doing it my way and why I wanted to do it my way. She let me, and worked to understand WHY, so that, once she understood, she could gently address my awareness to those parts of my body that hadn't been heard from in decades, and to introduce myself to them and ask them to respond - to breath, to slight contraction - NOT to pounding exercises. She is amazing. Expensive - and worth every penny. I save on the clothes I used to buy incessantly to try and make me look (I thought!) the way I used to. Instead, I'm feeling the way I used to. And that is worth its weight in gold. And my weight is going in the right direction without my having to feel deprived. Kudos, Femina PT, Fusion Wellness, and Heather. Also her masseuse partner, Mary, who can "see" the body with her hands. And her yoga partner, Nancy, who has created supportive restorative yoga positions for me. I never understood the benefits of what seemed like lolling around. Now I can feel the traction and awareness in all the muscles I have neglected. This is health I can continue to pursue; no road blocks. Life-changing - and at such an age! read more

Heather is without exaggerating AMAZING! After years of trouble with a certain part of my body, in no time, she made everything change back to equilibrium and to what would be considered normal. She explains everything in detail and therefore gives you a better understanding of why things are the way they are, and how you can work towards turning things around. I would highly recommend Heather for any type of Physical Therapy. She has created her own "Method/Therapy" through years of studying (with some of the greatest practitioners), practice and breaking down the issues of her past patients, enabling her to fine tune her own system. I'm so thankful to have found her, and I'm especially grateful for the quick recovery I've achieved, after years of distress. If you cannot afford her, I recommend you purchase her book. Although it may not be Heather in person, it can still help you to get on the right path to recovery! read more

I was in multiple car accidents a decade ago, and I have been to many physical therapists through the years without success. They found the root of my lower back pain problems and after nearly a decade of barely being able to walk I finally can again without pain. They are also the best pelvic floor pts and the only ones who found the connection between my pelvic floor and lower back problems. If you need help with physical pain, they are your answer. read more

I went to Heather after the birth of my third child. It was lucky, really, that I was referred to her, because my doctor had referred me to a surgeon for a possible hysterectomy or pelvic wall rebuild. Thankfully, I went to Heather before undergoing either surgery, she was able to fix the problem. She has studied extensively in women's health--even written a book about it--and was able to diagnose my problem, suggest a course of treatment (6 weeks), and then follow through with said treatment. By the end, as she said, I was as good as gold. Boy, was it worth it! Though uncomfortable to talk about, much less write about, it is worth getting the word out there. If you have painful intercourse, especially after birth or other trauma, the treatment may be as simple as Physical Therapy (with Heather, of course). I highly recommend her. read more

I started seeing Heather in October 2014. For more than two years, I had been suffering from painful urinary tract infection type symptoms after my bartholins gland surgery which included constant burning and urinary frequency sensation that led to more and more painful intercourse (vaginismus). I had made multiple visits to internist, obgyn and urologist's offices, went through a range of treatment with UTI and bladder frequency medication that included antibiotics, vesicare, estrogen cream, but nothing worked. I had to limit outings and trips and intercourse. I was really desperate and feeling despondent when I finally found Dr. Tarney at UCLA who referred me to Heather for pelvic floor therapy, primarily to help with painful sex, but maybe the other symptoms as well. Since I had been suffering for so long, I didn't have my hopes high when I first met Heather and she told me that I would see a difference in a few weeks. I was even more skeptical when she showed me the dilators that I had to buy and the pelvic floor exercises I had to do at home since other than my husband, I had never inserted even a tampon ever before. But I really liked Heather and the way she explained everything thoroughly. I could tell she really knew her stuff and I held on to that belief tightly. I stuck to my weekly visits and daily homework and now, little more than a year later, I am so thankful that I did. I have no more painful intercourse. My UTI symptoms are more or less gone. I can enjoy time with my husband and outings with my friends. It has been a gradual, at times slow and almost subtle process for me, but thanks to Heather and her team of fantastic therapists, I am better. Now, when I go for a therapy session, I feel pressure instead of pain and it has become a walk in the park. Heather got me through the initial trial stages, but as I made progress and advanced through the dilators, she introduced me to Laureen who included lymphatic drainage in my therapy sessions and which I really felt aided in my progress. To fit my work schedule, I continued both the pelvic floor and lymphatic drainage with Beata, who, although the newest addition to the team, is just as skillful and thorough, and helped me maintain all the progress I had made. Throughout this whole experience, I have constantly wondered why none of my other doctors ever mentioned this therapy to me. It would have saved me two years of absolute discomfort and misery and possibly less time in therapy. I am truly grateful though that I was referred to Heather because she understood the source of these issues right away and worked on them directly. It did take time and a lot of patience and dedication with the home exercises and regular office visits, but Heather and her team guided and encouraged me through the process and made sure I was on the right track all the way. I hope no one ever goes through my painful and traumatic experience, but for those women who are experiencing chronic pelvic floor discomfort, I can say from experience that there is hope with pelvic floor therapy and there is help from the Fusion Wellness PT group. They are staffed with top of the line professionals who carefully listen and custom tailor every treatment to the particular needs of each individual and have certainly been the key source of my journey to recovery. read more
