Kelly Valentine, LMT, PTA

Kelly began pursuing education in health and wellness as an undergrad at James Madison University, earning a B.S. Physical Education/ Coaching in 1987. A fascination with biomechanic structure and function has resulted in the pursuit of two additional areas of expertise- becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2003, and being awarded Physical Therapist Assistant , A.A.S. in 2009. This educational background has resulted in a variety of career opportunities over the years, ranging from classroom education to providing physical therapy for both outpatient and in-house populations. Her career is driven by the desire to assist people of all ages to achieve optimal function for their best quality of life. One of her greatest areas of contribution has been providing massage therapy to clients, honing a variety of manual therapy techniques to provide relief to clients with chronic pain. In May of 2021 Kelly learned of Fascial Counterstrain technique, personally experiencing the modality for an area of injury. The impact from that single session resulted in the pursuit to become an FCS provider as a primary method to address health concerns. Kelly remains committed to continued education in all areas of wellness, and welcomes the opportunity to partner with you in reaching your best health.
