Dr. Kate S. Kelly is owner and chiropractic physician at Active Recovery Boston. She is a graduate of New York Chiropractic College and Clark University. Her philosophy for healing involves assessing the body as a whole for diagnosis and treatment. Her passion and determination center around resolving often complex problems at the source rather than simply treating the symptoms.

She is a full body certified Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) practitioner and was a member of the Active Release Technique team at the 2007 and 2008 Ironman Lake Placid. Dr. Kelly has also earned certification in Kinesio Taping, Dry Needling and Graston techniques.
