Movement is medicine.

As a physical therapist, I am dedicated to providing personalized, one-on-one care that puts your needs and goals first. My approach emphasizes hands-on treatment to restore function, reduce pain, and support healing, while always keeping movement at the heart of recovery. I strongly believe that movement is the best medicine, and I work with you to build strength, confidence, and lasting results through tailored exercise and treatment strategies.

About Me

Growing up in Oregon as an athlete and outdoor enthusiast, I am passionate about helping people achieve or return to an active lifestyle that the Pacific Northwest offers. I have over 13 years of experience treating a variety of musculoskeletal and orthopedic pain and injury. My years as a coach, mentor, and leader lend a treatment approach that empowers people to reach their goals with an emphasis on patient-centered education and care. My areas of focus and interest include acute and chronic pain or injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, ACL-injury prevention and rehabilitation, running-related injuries, and “court sport” athletes of all ages. More recently, I have developed an interest in and am learning more about the unique considerations for women through perimenopause and menopause. I have a Certification in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) and am a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), which leads to a balanced treatment approach with both hands-on and exercise-based interventions.

My undergraduate education started in 2005 at Willamette University, where I received a degree in Exercise Science while playing volleyball at the NCAA DIII level. I moved to Colorado in 2010, attending Regis University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Missing the people and places at home, I moved back to Oregon and have worked in the Portland metro area since 2013.

In addition to treating patients in the clinic, I help teach in the classroom as an adjunct faculty member at Pacific University’s School of Physical Therapy & Athletic Training. Outside of the clinic and classroom, you will likely find me hiking or camping in the mountains, curled up on a couch or hammock with coffee and a good book, watching sports (Go Portland Fire!), or spending time with friends and family.

Patient Testimonials

“I can’t say enough good things about Kelley! She’s an incredible physical therapist — knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about helping people heal. She takes the time to listen, tailor treatment plans, and explain everything in a way that makes you feel supported and confident in your recovery. Her positive energy and expertise make every session something I actually look forward to. I’m so grateful for the care she provides and wouldn’t trust anyone else!”

--  K.S.

“Beyond grateful for the telehealth I've been doing with Kelley. Even though I couldn't get in with anyone locally, she has made the process easy, effective and enjoyable...I am already feeling improvement in just a couple weeks and feel genuinely supported. Highly recommend!”

—  J.M. 

“... I started working with Kelley, after paying for regular chiro and massage for months (without a meaningful long-term improvement), a couple of months ago and almost immediately the constant ache/pain went away...She's essentially pinpointed where I need more strengthening and range of motion and helps me build that capacity. I really appreciate her approach, and it has worked really well, and really quickly, for me. Highly recommend!”
