Dr. Kelsey Stenger is the founder of Stenger Performance Lab, a performance company built on the belief that everybody is an athlete and everyone deserves access to the kind of personalized, high-quality care that puts their goals first.

Kelsey earned her Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science from Wichita State University, followed by her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She is also a Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT), allowing her to seamlessly integrate wellness, strength training, and injury prevention into her physical therapy approach.

Before becoming a physical therapist, Kelsey spent over a decade immersed in the world of competitive gymnastics—first as an athlete for 10 years, then as a coach. This background laid the foundation for her performance-oriented minset and her deep appreciation for how the body moves, adapts, and heals.

Her clinical and coaching experience spans a wide spectrum: from professional athletes and elite-level gymnasts, to older adults managing mobility and independence, to adolescents just learning the power of their bodies. Regardless of age or ability, Kelsey’s mission remains the same: to empower individuals to move better, feel stronger, and perform at their highest potential.
