Dr. Chelsea Hayes
Chelsea received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University in 2008, in her home state of Massachusetts. Drawn to the beautiful weather and active lifestyle of Southern California, she moved to San Diego, where she has worked in an orthopedic outpatient setting ever since. Her physical therapy approach is informed by a wide range of techniques, including training from The Institute of Physical Art, The Ola Grimsby Institute, Mulligan, McKenzie, and others, allowing her to create highly individualized treatment plans for her patients. She has a passion for yoga, beach volleyball, and spending time outdoors with her two young boys.
Chelsea feels extremely fortunate to have discovered her calling early in life—she knew by age 16 that she wanted to become a physical therapist. Inspired by a family member’s long-term health struggles, she gained a deep appreciation for the powerful role healthcare professionals can play in a person’s quality of life. With a focus on personalized care, Chelsea is dedicated to helping her patients reach their goals and return to the activities that bring them joy.
