Dr. Kelly Yates, founder and owner of pelvRX, graduated from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in 2015 with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Since then, Kelly has gone through further education and holds her certification in Trigger Point Dry Needling, Manual Therapy, and CrossFit-L1 Certification. Kelly is also an internally trained Pelvic Floor Clinician specializing in the treatment of women during pregnancy and the postpartum period and loves working with women who want to return to exercises and the activities they love to perform without worrying about leakage, pain, or pelvic heaviness. 

Kelly is continuously seeking out ways to improve her skills and treatment methods to help a wide variety of patients. She takes pride in figuring out the “why” behind symptoms and assisting patients in becoming their best self. To do so, she meets the patients where they are, takes their personal goals into consideration, and incorporates education, exercise, and manual therapy as appropriate.

She founded pelvRX in an effort to spread awareness of the importance of pelvic health, to prove that you CAN reduce symptoms of urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, etc. while continuing to do the things you love, and to serve an underserved population! After almost a decade of experience, she has also realized many dysfunctions and pains in the body stem from the core and pelvic region. She treats the body as a whole to get down to the root of your pain.
