Dr. Alexandra Gehlen PT, DPT
​Alex Gehlen, DPT, is a dedicated physical therapist and the founder of Trivium Wellness in Bend, Oregon.
Originally from the Midwest, Alex earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Saint Louis University, whose program is ranked among the top 10% nationally. Before establishing Trivium Wellness in 2020, she spent three years as a traveling physical therapist, gaining diverse clinical experience across various settings nationwide.
​
After moving to Bend, Alex served as the Director at Step and Spine Clinic, where she deepened her expertise in treating complex, chronic conditions. Her work there inspired her to branch out and create Trivium Wellness, a practice dedicated to providing personalized, movement-focused care that empowers individuals to achieve their goals.
​
Alex specializes in spinal, pelvic, and hip instability, offering a biomechanical approach to treatment that optimizes movement, alleviates pain, and helps patients return to the activities they love.
Dr. Gehlen has become a trusted resource among local physicians for successfully treating individuals with chronic conditions that have not progressed at other clinics.
​
Outside the clinic, Alex embraces Bend’s active lifestyle. You’ll often find her snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor, mountain biking at Phil’s Trailhead, or enjoying a local coffee shop.
Leigh "Byrd" Graciano
Certified Personal Trainer | Postpartum Core Corrective Exercise Specialist | Integrated Health Specialist
​
Leigh’s passion for movement and well-being started early—at just nine years old with her first Barbie workout set (she has the picture to prove it!). That early love for fitness eventually led her to pursue a degree in Psychology and a career in the educational field, where she worked with developmentally delayed children in an occupational and physical therapy clinic.
​
After years of homeschooling her two boys and craving deeper community connection, Leigh combined her love for teaching and movement by becoming a certified personal trainer. She quickly grew into one-on-one coaching and group fitness instruction, later specializing in pre and postpartum fitness as a Postpartum Core Corrective Exercise Specialist.
​
As an Integrated Health Specialist, Leigh takes a holistic approach to movement and wellness, ensuring that each client receives personalized, functional training that aligns with their body’s unique needs. This credential deepens her ability to support clients through physical transitions, injury prevention, and long-term movement optimization—whether in the postpartum period, returning from injury, or striving for overall well-being.
​
Her training philosophy is simple: honor the body where it’s at and guide it toward sustainable strength and resilience.
​
When she’s not coaching or homeschooling, you’ll find Leigh outdoors with her husband and two boys, embracing all the adventure Bend has to offer.
