Kelsea Fishkind, PT, DPT, CSCS: Physical Therapist

(she/her/hers)

Quote: “Make every step count.”

Personal Story

Kelsea became a physical therapist because there’s nothing better than helping someone get back to doing what they love to do. For many of our patients at Custom, that’s running – but as someone who also loves other sports like tennis and golf, Kelsea’s passionate about helping any athlete get back to doing whatever makes them feel their best. As an athlete, she understands both the excitement of chasing goals and the frustration of being sidelined by injury.

Treatment Style

  • As a physical therapist, Kelsea likes to take a holistic approach to treatment.  She doesn’t just treat an injury, she treats the whole person.  Kelsea combines individualized physical therapy with strength training, progressive loading, and coaching principles to address the root cause of injury and support overall performance.  She loves working with runners of any level, athletes of any kind, or active individuals who want to understand their body and actively participate in their recovery.

“​​Kelsea is amazing! Would not have gotten to the start/finish line of NYC Marathon without her help and guidance. If you have a running related injury, come here!”
