Dr. Kelly Claytor

Kelly earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2022 from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. She graduated from the University of Tampa in 2018 and received a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Physical Therapy. Kelly played for the UT Women’s Club Soccer team, worked as an intramural sports referee, and served as a Weight Room Supervisor at the campus fitness center. During college and prior to starting her doctoral program, Kelly interned at a sports performance and rehabilitation clinic where she treated NFL veterans and NFL Combine athletes.

Throughout her career, Kelly has continued to work with active individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to professional athletes. She enjoys helping patients overcome pain, recover from injury, and build the strength and confidence needed to return to the sports and activities they love.

Kelly’s passion for providing personalized, high-quality care led her to join Florida Physio. She believes that building strong patient relationships through trust, communication, and genuine rapport is essential to creating a positive experience and achieving the best possible outcomes.

Outside of the clinic, Kelly enjoys the beach, spending time with friends, dog sitting, and pilates. She’s also an avid sports fan who enjoys watching NFL games, cheering on the South Carolina Gamecocks, and supporting the Tampa Bay teams, especially the Lightning.

Kelly believes that physical therapy shouldn’t just bring you back to baseline; it should help you build a foundation to continue moving better, gaining strength, reaching new goals, and staying out of pain.
