2.5 Years Experience

Philosophy of Care and Areas of Interest: Kelly has worked primarily in the outpatient orthopedic setting, and specializes in general orthopedic, sports related, pre and post surgical treatment, balance/gait assessments and manual therapy techniques.  She believes in a hands-on approach to managing injuries, working with both manual therapy techniques and tactile cueing to provide better understanding for proper exercise technique. It is imperative to Kelly that she prepares her patients for independence with their daily tasks, including independent management of any remaining signs and symptoms and prevention strategies to reduce risk of re-injury following the rehabilitation program at Aquacare Physical Therapy. Returning patients to sports, running, and an active lifestyle describes Kelly’s priority for patient care.
