About
Linda Sayyad, PT, DPT,
Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist
Dr. Linda Sayyad is the clinic director at FeminoCentric Physical Therapy and Wellness. She is a licensed physical therapist with 9 years of experience treating patients with many different diagnoses. She strongly believes that treatments are more effective when the whole person is treated versus just the body part. Her main focus is on pelvic floor and orthopedic conditions. As a mother herself to two spunky girls under 5, she was hit with a variety of postpartum issues and could not find the right resources. She knew then that she wanted to focus her career on helping women of all ages, with their postpartum and/or orthopedic issues. Her goal is to empower women to live their best lives, with no limitations.
Danielle Race, PT, DPT,
Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist
Dr. Danielle Race graduated from Chapman University with her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy where she was first introduced to pelvic floor therapy throughout her extensive coursework. She began her career as a PT in nursing homes because she had a passion for helping people maintain their independence and improve their quality of life. But after experiencing her first pregnancy and giving birth to her daughter, she found another passion for helping those with pelvic floor and orthopedic disorders. She saw first hand the lack of education and assistance that women were receiving, and knew that pelvic floor physical therapy should be a more recommended resource. She began her own studies and took many specialized courses on the issues that commonly occur during pregnancy and postpartum to prepare herself, and now strives to help others with the knowledge she gained. She’s witnessed many people suffer in silence with issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, and chronic back pain. These people hadn’t received treatment because they felt embarrassed or weren’t aware that physical therapy could help them. Danielle’s mission is to share knowledge and provide quality care so more people get the help they deserve, so that they can confidently return to doing the activities they love.

After having her baby, she needed pelvic health physical therapy herself and the experience sparked her interest in further pursuing this path and decided to dedicate her career to pelvic health . She is passionate about creating individualized care for patients, as needed to maximize their movement ability and quality of life. Outside of work, you will find Jermaine spending time with her family or exploring different restaurants.

I found Feminocentric on Google and Yelp. I had no idea what I was really looking for. But my GI said pelvic therapy and that is what they do. Don't be fooled, pregnancy is not their only focus. They do physical therapy. I was drawn to the fact it was a female business. It made me feel safe to expose the horrible scars on my stomach.
My first visit was like a miracle. I met with Dr. Danielle, she told me the hernia that I was told I had was actually a muscle separation. Very much like the separation during a pregnancy. But mine was quite significant and it was above my belly button. I could not believe how must better I felt after that first visit. I was more than happy to pay whatever it was going to cost. I almost felt normal. After about the third visit, I had lost 2" of my bloated belly. I was not as constipated, and I was sleeping better. If you do the work, it works.
After two and a half months of my therapy, we sold our house and moved out of state. I honestly thought I was good. I got lazy and didn't do any of my exercises for nearly a month. I was thrown back into my bloat and constipation again. Luckily, all I needed was a few video sessions with Dr. Danielle, and things started to go back to my new normal. I wish I could be back in So. Cal and visit this incredible place weekly. But I really don't need to go there. I just need to discipline myself to follow the exercise videos that we made during my time there and keep going on my own. Dr. Danielle even made me a goal chart to follow. I have to admit. I'm not doing as much as I should be, but I am working at it. Still unpacking and learning my new home and state. But it would not be possible if I didn't have Dr Danielle's help.
I am so grateful for this place and Dr. Danelle Race. "
