Gwen Alden is driven by a genuine love for people, movement, and helping others feel their best. As the founder of HealthWest Physical Therapy, she believes that healing happens when patients are truly seen, heard, and supported—not rushed through a system. Her approach is rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that every person deserves care tailored to their individual needs and goals.

A lifelong athlete at heart, Gwen understands the motivation to move well, recover fully, and stay active through every stage of life. That same passion extends beyond the clinic, where she finds joy in spending time with her three daughters—often playing or watching volleyball, preferably near the beach and accompanied by coffee. She also loves traveling, baking, hiking, listening to music, and being fully present with the people she cares about most.

Gwen’s warmth, dedication, and commitment to meaningful results have shaped HealthWest into a place where patients feel valued, supported, and empowered on their journey to better movement and healthier living.
