Alexandra Siegrist, PT, DPT
Dr. Alex Siegrist received her doctoral degree in physical therapy from Hunter College and was the recipient of the Award for Clinical Excellence. She has been practicing as a Pelvic Floor therapist for all genders since her Pelvic Floor residency at one of NYC’s oldest operating independent Pelvic Floor clinics. Since her graduation she has taken over 100 hours of continued education for treatment of pelvic floor, musculoskeletal, and movement dysfunctions, including a 6-month mentorship with First Principles of Movement.
She believes a full body approach is important to restoring pelvic health and incorporates the principles of strength and conditioning, along with manual therapy, to enhance health and movement for all of her patients. Her experiences as a military veteran (USAF 2009-2015) gave her a strong desire to advocate for holistic care that treats every part of the body.
Alex remains involved with veteran programs here in New York City and hopes to help increase awareness of pelvic health for veterans. In her free time, she enjoys training with kickboxing, yoga, kettlebell and weightlifting. She can be found exploring Brooklyn with her partner and their two dogs.
