Meet our new Practice Manager, Kelsie!

Kelsie has been a PT with Therapeutic Associates for the last five years, and she is excited to lead the team at Tigard! She is a board-certified specialist in orthopedics, and especially loves this setting because of the huge diversity of people she gets to work with and conditions she gets to treat. She also specializes in TMJ (jaw) treatment and manual therapy, and was initially drawn to physical therapy by the opportunity to empower patients to take an active role in their recovery.

Kelsie’s favorite thing to do in her free time is hiking in the mountains with her fiancé and their dog, Miles.
