Pelvic Health & Women's Health Physical Therapist in Las Vegas, NV
If you've been told that pelvic pain, leaking, or "just deal with it" is simply part of being a woman, an athlete, a new mom, or getting older — Dr. Minija is here to tell you that's not true, and she has the training to prove it.

When she's not in the clinic, Dr. Minija is usually spending time outdoors, on her yoga mat, sweating it out in an Orangetheory class, checking out local breweries around Las Vegas, or relaxing with pop music (she’s a steadfast Swiftie) and a good true crime podcast. She also shares her home with her partner, Brian, and rescue dog, Ladybug.

From the very beginning, Dr. Minija knew pelvic health was where she wanted to focus her career. She moved to Tucson, Arizona to complete a competitive Women's Health Residency with BodyCentral Physical Therapy — one of the most comprehensive residency programs in the country. She stayed on as a staff physical therapist, and later became the program's Pelvic and Women's Health Residency Coordinator, training the next generation of pelvic health specialists.
