Olivia Kinsella, DPT

Physical Therapist

Olivia received her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Elon University in North Carolina and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Bond University in Gold Coast, Australia.

Olivia is passionate about helping individuals return to the activities they love and improving overall quality of life through movement. She grew up playing team sports and later discovered a love for individual practices such as calisthenics, hand balancing, and surfing—experiences that reinforced her belief that it’s never too late to learn something new. Olivia values a holistic approach to care, viewing each person as more than just the injury they present with, focusing on the whole picture—physical, mental, and lifestyle factors—to guide meaningful, lasting recovery.

Outside of the clinic, Olivia can often be found outside somewhere —hiking, running, or swimming—continuing to explore movement in its many forms and finding balance through nature and play.

I’ve had some bad luck with injuries. I had 12 holes in right knee, many doctors said I should stop playing basketball. David has been able to put me back together. I’m not worried if I get hurt because I know I can come see him and get back to 100%.

I’ve been playing basketball overseas for three years and this last summer was the first time I came to see David consistently. After doing my therapy and all of the exercises David gave me on a regular basis, I had the best season percentage wise that I have ever had.

For the past 2-3 years I had been experiencing right leg pain, back pain, and a slew of other issues. A friend of mine referred me to React and I’m truly amazed by my progress. A few months later and I’m now 100% healed. If you have imbalances, flexibility issues, mobility issues, call React.

I am so indebted to React. For so long, having pain in my shoulder was so normal, I didn’t even think about it. The first time I woke up and walked around for hours before realizing I wasn’t in pain was amazing. I can’t thank them enough for their detailed, careful, and hard work to fix me up.

I came here fresh off a major hip operation and knee repair. My body was completely unbalanced. I think since my time here, we’ve made huge strides I didn’t think were possible. My stability and strength is better than it’s been in probably 10 years. I think it has everything to do with David and the techniques he has used. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
