OUR EXPERIENCE

Our team has a wide range of physical therapy, postural restoration, injury recovery and pain prevention expertise.

NANCY HAMMOND, PT, PRC

As a PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) certified physical therapist, Nancy Hammond can help you address your pain, perform better and/or prevent injury. After graduating from St Louis University as a physical therapist over 20 years ago, she has helped many patients achieve their goals. She sees PRI as the “missing tool in her toolbox”. Nancy utilizes PRI to discover “why” clients’ pain exists and address its root cause. She has a passionate interest in the science of postural restoration.

As an avid marathon runner, she has personally benefited and experienced firsthand how system balance improves performance. In addition, PRI has enabled her to empower clients to take control of their health, so they understand how movement patterns can help prevent injury. Finally, as a mom of four active boys, PRI helps her appreciate that balance means more than managing busy lives. It also means understanding that every change (e.g., gait, braces, glasses, physical environment, puberty) impacts the harmony of their growing bodies.

 

Kelli Richardson, DPT

Kelli is an experienced physical therapist, with a passion for injury prevention and a background in outpatient and home care settings. In her 12 years as a practicing physical therapist, Kelli has helped her clients improve their daily functions and get back to the activities they love. Prior to her career in physical therapy, Kelli was a personal trainer.

Kelli has seen the benefits of Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) therapy first-hand. In 2016, Kelli suffered a shoulder injury that severely impacted her career and lifestyle. PRI techniques not only rehabbed her shoulder but also greatly improved her quality of life. This experience, coupled with her background as a personal trainer, has formed Kelli’s passion for PRI. For the last four years, Kelli has studied PRI to advance her therapy skills. She is now excited for the opportunity to bring the life-changing science of PRI to her patients. Kelli expects to earn Postural Restoration Certification in late 2023.

When she is not working, Kelli loves spending time with her daughter enjoying a good book, cooking, and exploring the outdoors. She holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rockhurst University and a B.S. in Exercise Science from Truman State University.
