Dr. Sandy Baird, DC (he/him) is a chiropractor practicing in Oakland California.
"I've been providing bodywork in the Bay Area for over fifteen years now. First as a massage therapist, and now as a doctor who combines soft tissue work with joint adjusting. I feel that it’s important for queer and trans-LGBTQIA+ folx to have a safe space to have their bodies worked on. Many of us already shoulder a lot of extra stress and tension from being constantly judged, worrying about what bathrooms we should use, and having to actively resist and fight back for our rights as our new state of “normal”.
When an unexpected pain or injury crops up, you want to have someone you can count on to help put you back together. As a trans/non-binary person myself (they/them or he/him pronouns), I need the people who work on my body to not just *tolerate* who I am, but *appreciate* who I am. And I’m guessing that might be important to you as well! I will ask and honor your pronouns. I try my best to use non-gendered language (such as pecs vs. breasts, short-lever pushups vs. girl pushups). And I’m proud of my non-discrimination policy.
