About

Kelsey Bellanca PT, DPT, NASM-CPT, USATF Level 1

Growing up, Kelsey wanted nothing more than to be a professional dancer. During her journey to achieving that goal, she developed an early love for the outdoors skiing and hiking with her mom. After a knee injury while pursuing dance in college, Kelsey’s experience as a patient in physical therapy led her to pursue the profession for herself with the mission of helping others get back to activities they love.

In PT school, Kelsey found a new interest in running, and cycling, which quickly came to include swimming. It was during this time that she completed her first half marathon and found a love of endurance sports. You can now find Kelsey lining up for marathons, ultramarathons, and triathlons in the warmer months. In the winter, you can find Kelsey on the ski slopes.

Kelsey obtained her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2016 and has worked in a variety of settings including the ICU, stroke rehab, and outpatient settings, allowing her to have a thorough understanding of the experiences her clients have from the moment of injury well into their return to sports and activities. Kelsey also maintains a focus on performance where she helps athletes prevent injury before it occurs. She has also had the fortune of obtaining her bike fit certification through IOG Bike FIt and Consulting and enjoys bringing her love for movement science and her love of bikes together

Kelsey is a strong believer that if you move, you are an athlete and should both treat yourself and be treated as such.

When she isn’t at work, Kelsey is enjoying pushing her limits outdoors and spending time with her dog, Buttons.
