Foothills Physical Therapy found a home in South Knoxville in 1992. Teresa Johnston, PT, founder of Foothills Physical Therapy, grew her practice with a mission to provide superior clinical care in a family friendly environment until 2022 when she passed her legacy down to Ryan Dulling, PT, DPT. Ryan took the foundation that Foothills was built on and moved it a quarter mile down Chapman Highway to its current location. Foothills Physical Therapy Group is a privately owned, outpatient physical therapy practice. We pride ourselves on being a small operation which allows us to treat our patients the way that we would want our grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and best friends to be treated, which means that when you become a patient at Foothills, you become part of our family for life. We offer one on one treatment utilizing cutting edge techniques in an approachable environment. When you come to Foothills, we want you to feel like you are coming home, and when you leave Foothills, we want you to feel like you are ready to conquer the world.
Mission:
Our mission is to love people well, build lifelong relationships, and work to give patients a voice. We are committed to the people of our community and consider our patients family. We are driven by the possibility of each person not merely existing, but physically and mentally thriving in the environment around them. To truly live life in a manner that is fulfilling and passionately expressed without pain or limitations.
