About Us
Welcome to Rooted!
Our Mission is to empower individuals to achieve lasting health and optimal function by recognizing movement as a cornerstone of healthcare. Through evidence-based physical therapy, individualized care, and meaningful relationship, we restore movement, relieve pain, and equip people to confidently pursue the lives they were created to live.
As a faith-driven practice, we are committed to serving others with integrity, humility, and compassion. We strive to cultivate an environment where every person is welcomed, respected, and empowered while honoring God through excellence in all we do.
"Performance Rooted in Recovery"
Our Story
Some of the best things begin with an unexpected friendship.
We first met working together as physical therapists at our first job out of grad school. What started as co-workers quickly turned into a genuine friendship built off of love for our profession, mutual interests, growing our faith, and many conversations about where life may take us. With both of us being brought to Knoxville unexpectedly with no friends or family, we felt strongly that God had brought us together for a reason.
Over time, conversations about our dream career as physical therapists turned into a shared vision. We imagined a practice that blended evidence-based care with strength, performance, resources, and serving the communities around us. A place where every patient receives the same level of individualized care, feel deeply heard by their clinician, and feel empowered, hopeful, and supported throughout their journey.
This vision formed Rooted Physical Therapy & Performance.
The name Rooted represents more than our approach to treatment—it reflects our foundation. We believe lasting health begins by addressing the root cause rather than simply treating symptoms. We also believe meaningful relationships are rooted in trust, and that lasting change happens when people feel supported, encouraged, and genuinely cared for.
As friends and business partners, we are grateful to build something together that reflects both our professional passion and our personal values. Every person who walks through our doors becomes part of the story we're writing, and it's a privilege to walk alongside you through every stage of your journey.
Welcome to Rooted. We're so glad you're here.
