Dr. Kelsy Wheeler PT, DPT Kelsy is a proud Colorado native who loves experiencing life outdoors. She loves to ski, camp and hike, stand-up paddleboard, yoga, run and play volleyball; any sport or activity that gets her outside under sunshine and blue skies. She and her fiancé adopted a husky puppy named Chuck and love taking him on outdoor adventures in the mountains on the weekends. At Colorado State University, Kelsy learned that she wanted to become a physical therapist so she could help people get back to doing the things they love. This came from volunteering at Craig Hospital where she met so many amazing patients, being heavily involved in the Pre-Physical Therapy Club and organizing many events with people of all abilities. E D U C A T I O N • Doctorate in Physical Therapy, University of St. Augustine, 2018 • Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science, Colorado State University, 2014
While in Physical Therapy school, she had clinical experiences in orthopedic and sports clinics where she found her passion in injury prevention, working with young athletes and the older active population. Kelsy believes physical therapy is more about working with the whole person rather than their specific injury is the key to helping people return to the life they want to live. She loves developing relationships with people and helping them in the process.
