Dr. Kelsie Brigham is the owner and director of Brigham Physical Therapy, where she leads a patient-centered clinic focused on delivering high-level, individualized care.

Raised on a family farm in Garden Plain, Kansas, Kelsie developed a strong work ethic early in life—something that continues to shape how she approaches both patient care and business leadership today. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science in 2014 from Wichita State University, followed by her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the same institution.

With over a decade of experience in the medical field, Kelsie specializes in identifying and treating the root cause of dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms. She specializes in treating complex pain and movement dysfunction using Fascial Counterstrain, especially for patients who haven’t improved with traditional therapy.

Kelsie is currently advancing her training through the Jones Institute under the guidance of Brian Tuckey, with a focused specialization in Fascial Counterstrain. She has completed foundational coursework in the lymphatic, venous, and musculoskeletal systems and continues to expand her expertise in treating complex neuro-fascial dysfunction.

Her approach to care is rooted in precision, efficiency, and results—helping patients move better, feel better, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

As a clinic owner, Kelsie is equally committed to building a team culture centered around accountability, growth, and delivering an exceptional patient experience.

Outside of the clinic, Kelsie enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, staying active through yoga, and embracing the outdoors.
