Kelsey Hight PT, DPT, COMT
Physical Therapist
Compassionate. Learner. Resilient.
Kelsey completed her undergraduate degree at Appalachian State University and received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Campbell University. During her time at Campbell University, she was on the executive board and assisted in the development of the pro bono clinic serving members of the rural community. The clinic still operates today, providing experience for PT students under the supervision of faculty members. While at Campbell and shortly thereafter, she completed coursework and competency testing as a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist through the North American Institute of Manual Therapy.
From a young age through college, Kelsey was a competitive athlete in volleyball, softball, and soccer. At ten years of age, Kelsey broke her ankle during a soccer game, which caused her to undergo physical therapy treatment. Ever since this experience, she has known that helping others as a physical therapist was the career path for her. Kelsey has a special interest in treating patients with pelvic floor and postpartum issues, vestibular rehabilitation, runners, and individuals who are serious about preventative care and rehabbing after injuries. She has a passion for manual therapy and has pursued certifications in other techniques such as trigger point dry needling. In her previous position, Kelsey served as an assessor of dry needling for her colleagues in multiple clinics. She was also the vestibular and concussion champion and provided continuing education to clinicians to help expand these programs. Kelsey also serves as a guest lecturer at Rowan County Community College (RCCC) PTA program lecturing on pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Kelsey is currently completing coursework for her Certified Manual Therapy Certification through the Institute of Physical Art. She also has aspirations of completing fellowship through the North American Institute of Manual Therapy after earning her CFMT. She considers herself to be a physical therapy nerd and strives to provide excellent and individualized care to her patients to prevent injury, aid in recovery, normalize function and mechanics, and allow them to live a healthy and active lifestyle.
When not working Kelsey enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and dog. She loves to play volleyball, ride her peloton, read, and sing.
