McKenna Young, DPT, Cert-DN
I’m a Pelvic Physical Therapist at Inland Pelvic Health & Physical Therapy. I cannot express how excited I am to help the people in the community I grew up in. After graduating from Lakeland High School in Rathdrum, I attended Boise State University, achieving a degree in Kinesiology with emphasis in Exercise Science and Biomechanics. I then attended University of New England in Portland, Maine. It was there, thanks to a professor that specialized in pelvic health, that I discovered my love for helping people with pelvic health dysfunctions. I graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2020 and have been working to help a wide variety of patients with pelvic health conditions since.
I have a passion for helping patients realize that they do not have to live with the pelvic health dysfunction, “just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal” is a motto I live by. I work to empower you, as the patient, during your healthcare journey. I love being a cheerleader and strategic coach as I help you achieve your goals. Outside of physical therapy, you’ll most likely find me curled up with a book, enjoying the amazing outdoors that Northern Idaho has to offer, or with friends and family.

Paige Williams, PTA
I joined Inland Pelvic Health and Physical Therapy in January 2021, beginning my journey into pelvic health. Prior to IPHPT, I spent 3 years in outpatient physical therapy to better understand the function of the entire body. My favorite part of pelvic health is learning how each patient works and strategically fitting their treatment to their needs. I call the Pacific Northwest home, having done my education at North Idaho College and Olympic College. However, I have spent most of my life moving around quite a bit and I’m glad to have finally settled down in this beautiful area. You can find me doing arts and crafts, ballroom dancing, or hiking with my dog, Juniper!
