The Brief: Bold, Empowered, and Unfiltered<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Femina Physical Therapy is a women\u2019s health brand that\u2019s unafraid to talk about the stuff no one else will. Their tone is honest, empowering, and refreshingly unfiltered \u2014 so their custom branded swag<\/strong> had to walk the same talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We designed pieces that go beyond a logo. This merch had to live out in the world<\/strong> \u2014 at Pilates, on Instagram stories, and in five conversations before lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vibe Check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Empowered. Unfiltered. Clinical meets cool.<\/strong>
The star of the drop?

\u201cHot girls do pelvic floor therapy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s more than apparel \u2014 it\u2019s a statement. A wink. A reminder that taking care of yourself is hot \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
