Pt. 2 introducing the AKPT girls 👋
⭐️ Meet Dr. Kelli Jones ⭐️
✨ Kelli was born and raised in Louisville. She earned her Bachelors degree in Exercise Science from University of Louisville in 2013 and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Bellarmine University in 2018. She currently works at University of Louisville Hospital specializing in acute trauma and critical care.
✨ She has been a member of since 2021 where she started powerlifting and fell in love with the sport. Since taking on patients at EA with Dr. Ashlee, she has taken over 30 hours in Integrative Dry Needling courses allowing her to diagnose and treat both muscular and neurological dysfunction from head to toe.
✨ Kelli truly believes in healing through movement - the best pill you’ll ever take. She spends her free time listening to every podcast on functional medicine she can find, wrangling her two pitbull pups, hiking in national parks, and seeing & learning from new countries. She hiked Half Dome in 2021, hiked the Incan trail to Machu Picchu in 2022, got married in Grand Teton National Park & honeymooned to every national park in Hawaii in 2023, and traveled all over Italy in 2024!
✨ Favorite lift: deadlifts - she doesn’t care how ugly it is, she’ll try and pull it. And anything high volume. 💪🏼
✨ Least favorite lift: squats (Per Coach Figg - it’s hard for giraffes to be able to squat correctly), and any near death experience above 90% (10/10 would rather do 100 reps).
✨ Fun fact: she travels out west every summer for a cattle drive, she always says her heart truly lies in the mountains.
We hope this let ya’ll get to know us a little better! AKPT is always here to answer any questions you may have about our treatment styles, skill sets, or even about what physical therapy has to offer you in general. We’re happy to help any way we can!
See y’all in the gym!
