About Dr. Kelsey Botti
Dr. Kelsey Botti, PT, DPT, is a physical therapist and the founder of KB Physical Therapy & Wellness and The POTS Life™. After nearly a decade of unexplained symptoms, she was diagnosed with POTS in 2021. That personal journey shaped her passion for helping others with dysautonomia reclaim their strength, confidence, and daily life.
With a doctorate in physical therapy from Chatham University and over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Botti brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. She developed The POTS Life program, a structured, graded approach to exercise and wellness to guide patients through safe, sustainable progress.
Yes - we currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and UPMC insurance. If you do not have either insurance plans, we also provide a private pay option.
Do I need a PT script?
In Pennsylvania an individual can choose to go directly to a physical therapist for an evaluation/treatment for a period of 30 days. This is referred to as “direct access physical therapy.” You do not need a PT script for the first 30 days of treatment.
If you do have one --- GREAT! You can bring it with you or have your doctor fax the order directly to (412) 368-2459.
What should I expect on my first visit?
We will perform a detailed and thorough assessment. The findings will be discussed with you. Together, we will determine an individualized plan of care.
How long are the appointments?
Appointments are about 60 minutes, but can be longer or shorter depending on your individual treatment. Your therapist will let you know how much time your appointments will require.
What should I wear to Physical Therapy?
Typically, patients wear loose fitting clothing for both Pelvic Floor & POTS physical therapy appointments.
What does POTS treatment look like?
We combine aerobic & strengthening exercises to improve your well-being and overall quality of life. We offer 3 options (in person, virtual or a complete on your own program).
Kelsey determines a plan specific to you. You will be provided a personalized program which includes biking/rowing & stregnthening exercises.
