Dr. Alina Wright is a passionate advocate for women's health, driven by her personal journey through infertility. As Dr. Wright navigated through the overwhelming world of hormones, fertility diets, pelvic floor therapy, acupuncture and other alternative medicine, she became increasingly aware of the shortage of accessible information, resources, and support for women. She has met countless women with similar frustrations. Whether it be incontinence, pelvic pain, or pre and postpartum support, there is a lack of understanding in the standard medical practice. Dr. Wright has been in the physical therapy field over 7 years and has further education beyond her degree focusing on pelvic health and functional movement.
