Kelly's Story
After several pregnancies and subsequent severe back pain, a protruding tummy, weak core muscles, and a significant diastasis, Kelly’s own journey changed the direction of her career. Today, the owner & founder of The Tummy Team, she is dedicated to fully understanding the neuromuscular, postural, and alignment issues that contribute to core weakness and abdominal separation. Her combination of multiple approaches specifically treats these conditions for long-lasting changes.
Kelly is a physical therapist specializing in the rehabilitation of the internal muscles of the abdominals and back. Kelly performed her undergraduate work at the University of New Mexico, where she also swam competitively for four years. She received her master’s degree in physical therapy from the University of North Dakota in 1997.
Kelly loves to teach people about the body’s amazing design and intended function. She’s passionate, too, about increasing the body’s performance without severe amounts of exercise. Throughout her career, Kelly has amassed extensive professional experience beginning in stroke and brain injury and neuromuscular re-education and progressing to specialized functional core and pelvic floor rehabilitation with women, men, and children. She has worked in multiple clinical settings including in-patient rehab, home health, community re-entry and her own private clinic. She uses this rich variety of clinical experience to comprehensively address each client specific needs.
