We Are Resilient - An Interview with Katy Kelly, DPT
Katy Kelly is a physical therapist and injury rehab coach for mountain athletes. In this episode, we talk about building capacity for both sport progression and injury prevention; starting a business; tools for dealing with fear in mountain sports; and more. Katy's open-mindedness, intelligence, and application of her own lived experience as a mountain athlete make her an invaluable member of the physical therapy field. She exudes bravery and humility as she opens up about starting her own PT business.
Katy graduated from Idaho State University with her DPT in 2019. As a student she sought out opportunities to learn from incredible providers who specialize in working with runners, skiers, and climbers. She has lived and climbed in Idaho, Utah, California, and throughout Montana. Today, she is based in Helena, Montana, where she lives with her partner and their two dogs. She is a business owner, climber, and runner, and after 10 years of teaching snowboarding, she recently switched over to two planks. She helps mountain athletes remotely and in person to get back to their favorite outdoor activities after injury or extended time off.
