Doctor of Physical Therapy

Kels grew up in northern California and earned her B.S. in biological sciences from UCSB. She then went on to receive her doctorate in physical therapy from UCSF.

Kels is a physical therapist with an emphasis on optimizing athletic performance. She has experience working with patients ranging from firefighters to collegiate and full-time athletes. She is also passionate about serving the combat sports and jiu jitsu community using her knowledge of the sport combined with clinical expertise. Kels believes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to physical therapy and works to develop tailored, evidence-based approaches for each individual according to their goals.

Kels grew up as a competitive soccer player and now spends her free time training Brazilian jiu jitsu, rock climbing, running, and lifting weights. When not working out she is probably eating, cooking, reading, watching K-dramas, or traveling as much as possible.
