Syd Young
Dr. Syd Young is a physical therapist and founder of OutWellness, Austin’s first queer and trans health and wellness center. They blend evidence-based orthopedic care with trauma-informed, identity-responsive support across physical therapy, strength coaching, and community programming. Syd is passionate about building spaces where people can get high-quality care without having to shrink themselves to fit the room.
Outside of work, Syd loves lifting, spending time with their dogs, and finding small joys that make life feel grounded. They’re also a big fan of community hangouts—whether that’s a game night, a good coffee shop moment, or anything that helps people feel connected.
“Serving on the Chamber Board is meaningful to me because I want to help build a local business community where LGBTQ+ people are not just included, but genuinely supported and invested in. I’m excited to strengthen relationships, advocate for equitable access and opportunity, and help create real pathways for queer and trans entrepreneurs to thrive in Austin.”
