Leadership

Sports medicine leadership in Minnesota.

The F.A.S.T Approach is Kelly's proprietary assessment and treatment framework. It is designed to pinpoint and correct movement dysfunctions and joint mechanics at their source, rather than chasing lingering symptoms. Every physical therapist at Fix It learns it through a mentorship program with Kelly.

As a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, Kelly holds an elite member status that recognizes significant research or clinical achievement, high standards of professional development, and long-term service to the sports medicine community.

Twin Cities Marathon Medical Committee. Kelly organizes and leads the physical therapy team across the course and inside the finish-line medical tent, working alongside physicians, nurses, athletic trainers and EMS leads to keep thousands of runners safe.

USA Cup Medical Team. As a member of the USA Cup Medical Committee, she leads the physical therapy team inside the main medical headquarters, overseeing acute care and recovery for thousands of youth and international soccer players.

Special Olympics National Games 2026. When the games came to Minneapolis, Kelly led the physical therapy team in the medical tent, directing physical screening, acute injury triage, sideline care and adaptive athletic support for thousands of athletes.

Outside the Clinic

Life beyond the treatment table.

Kelly loves to run, rollerblade, ski (water, cross country and downhill), swim and hike, even with the challenges of managing rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis. She grew up in Mahtomedi and graduated from Mahtomedi High School in 1999. Kelly and her husband are raising two wonderful kids who are kind, funny and love to play.

On race days and tournament weeks, you will often find her in the medical tent, leading the physical therapy team.
