Kelly Brown Gross

MPT, WCS

Kelly is an Iowa native. She is a true Cy-Hawk as she attended Iowa State University prior to obtaining her Master's in Physical Therapy from The University of Iowa.

Kelly’s first job was at an acute care hospital in Des Moines, where she assisted patients in regaining strength and mobility after surgery, injury, or illness. She then transitioned to an outpatient facility, where she treated a broader range of orthopedic injuries, post-surgical rehab cases, neuromuscular and mobility challenges. During this time, she honed her orthopedic and manual therapy skills and expanded her expertise to include vestibular therapy and pelvic health. Additionally, she worked in skilled nursing facilities on weekends, helping older adults improve their strength, balance, and mobility to regain independence.

Her passion for pelvic health grew as she began treating patients with various conditions, including bladder and bowel incontinence, urinary frequency/urgency, painful bladder syndrome, pelvic pain, prolapse issues, post-surgical problems, constipation, and pregnancy and postpartum concerns. Kelly played a key role in developing a postpartum rehab program designed to help women regain core strength and confidence to return to their normal activities. Her extensive experience in pelvic health led to her earning the Women’s Health Certified Specialist (WCS) certification.

With over two decades of experience, Kelly has a vast array of expertise in pelvic health, orthopedics, balance and mobility dysfunction, and vestibular therapy. Her approach focuses on treating the whole person rather than just addressing a specific body part or diagnosis. She is dedicated to identifying the root cause of dysfunction, offering long-lasting relief, and restoring function.

In her free time, Kelly likes to spend time with her husband, Dave, and two sons. She can often be found attending local sporting events, hanging out with friends and enjoying many outdoor activities — including golf, tennis, and running.
