In what ways has the patriarchy stigmatized or sexualized women’s health? Why are women of color at even greater risk of traumatic medical events?

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.

In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Angelica Whaley, a pelvic health physical therapist. They discuss how pelvic health physical therapy is a way to advocate for women, the statistics around how mental and physical abuse show up in pelvic health, and the importance of every woman being empowered around her own pelvic health. 

Dr. Angelica Whaley helps patients manage the biological, psychological, social, emotional, spiritual, and of course, physical contributions and manifestations to their symptoms so that we can partner along the journey to the other side of pain.

She obtained a BS in Kinesiology and Health Promotions from The University of Kentucky and a minor in Spanish, where she also committed to run track and field on scholarship. She went on to receive her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Northwestern University. She is a founding member of the Inaugural Global Health Committee and Black Student Committee.
