Hi! I’m Alex - a pelvic health and oncology physical therapist, educator, and the founder of OncoPelvic PT.

This space is for people navigating pelvic health concerns, cancer recovery, lymphedema, and all the in-between stuff that doesn’t always come with clear answers. It’s also for clinicians who want to feel more confident treating these complex conditions in real practice.

OncoPelvic PT is built around:
• inclusive, whole-person care
• unrushed, expert clinical reasoning
• education that actually translates to the clinic
• and resources for wherever you are in your journey

Whether you’re here to work with me as a patient, learn through YouTube or my blog, explore clinician courses and coaching, or find products I genuinely recommend - you’re in the right place.

Election Day is today, and regardless of what’s on your ballot, healthcare will be impacted. Who and what you vote for shapes children’s, women’s, men’s, and trans health rights; access to care; protections; funding for research; and so much more.

We cannot separate politics from healthcare.

That is why @adam_dpt , @dr.mercedes_ and I are teaching this at CSM 2027 in “The Politics of Survival: How Policy and Social Determinants Shape Cancer Survivorship Outcomes” with @aptaoncology. We will go through how policy becomes law, how it flows into reimbursement and care delivery, and how to screen for social determinants and advocate for patients in real clinic workflows.

Your lymphatic system needs help moving fluid, and your muscles pumping + breathwork are big drivers of that. Deep diaphragmatic breathing increases pressure changes in your chest that help pull lymph fluid through your thoracic duct, and pairing that breathing with gentle rhythmic movement makes it even more effective.

My new YouTube video guides you through an exercise ball routine to support lymphatic flow if you're managing trunk or genital lymphedema.

Cancer-related fibrosis is best managed with a combination of approaches: hands-on treatment, exercises, and the right compression.

My new blog post breaks down what is happening in the fibrotic tissue and the questions that help you narrow down which compression option may work best for you.

If you’re coming up on your third trimester, it’s time to bring out your birth ball and get moving on it!

Performing rhythmic movements on the birth ball can help with hip, pelvis, and spine mobility, and help keep you moving in the final weeks of pregnancy.

My YouTube video guides you through a seated mobility routine so you can start getting some use out of your ball.

Ordering compression for patients shouldn't eat up hours of your time outside the clinical work itself. @compress_care helps you handle it all in one platform. 🙌

Repeated burning, urgency, and discomfort with a negative culture for a UTI – but still getting treated for a UTI? When I hear that, it’s time to stop thinking antibiotics and start considering the pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor sits right around the bladder and urethra, and when it's overactive, it can mimic a UTI, similar to how tension in your neck can trigger a headache.

➡️ In my new YouTube video I break down what points toward pelvic floor involvement and how pelvic rehab can help.

Pelvic floor muscles are like the other muscles in your body – they need variety! 💪They need to do powerful, quick movements; long endurance holds; relaxation and lengthening; and functional movements that match your real life.

Third trimester and counting down the days? Your body is already getting ready for labor, so let's help it along the way.

My YouTube video guides you through six moves to help with hip mobility, ease back tension, and work on your breath work.

Breast fibrosis after breast cancer treatment or with lymphedema can leave tissue feeling tight and firm. Using the right type of compression not only softens the fibrosis but also reduces any swelling.

Compression garments support the area day and night, and foam pads worn underneath can add more targeted pressure depending on exactly where you’re dealing with fibrosis or swelling.

Mental health is a key piece of your overall health and wellness, but people are still uncomfortable talking about it. So let’s change the narrative and talk about it!

Because you know what? Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults live with some type of mental health condition.

I deal with anxiety and have several go-to’s that help me. These include counseling, regular physical activity, acupuncture, being outdoors, connecting with family and friends, and mindfulness. 😌

Did you know?
-Mental health impacts your physical health, and vice-versa. Take care of both
-2 hours of being in nature per week helps decrease stress and boost mental health. You don’t have to do it all in one day, even getting outside a little bit each day is helpful!
-Exercise has been shown to improve anxiety and depression.
-There is a link between your brain and your GI system called the gut-brain axis. Fiber-rich veggies and fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, and sauerkraut are a good place to start for gut health
