My 18-year-old son, a sports enthusiast, has gotten back in the game several times with the help of FPT! My husband, recovering from a disabling disorder, is making excellent progress in getting back on his feet! The staff and the therapists have been like family to us! I highly recommend Foothills Physical Therapy!!!” – R.R.

Not Your Average Physical Therapy Clinic

We were excited to learn all about Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the Administrator, Rod Johnston.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center stand apart from its competitors. Rod said that they have been a part of the community for 27 years and have even been able to work with multiple generations within families. They are well-respected and have a great reputation.

Rod shared:

“Many of the corporate practices focus on volume, production, and getting people in and out. Foothills puts value on one-on-one time with clients to ensure they are getting good results and feedback.”

Building Success And Giving Back

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center has spread the word about who they are and what they do by being active and accessible members of their community. They participate in local health fairs, so they can give people the opportunity to see what they do and so they can offer free advice and tips. They offer their support to support local club sports, marathons, and schools, like the Johnson University in Knoxville’s athletic program. Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center also makes it a point to stay personally in touch with their patients.

Rod told us an endearing story about when Rod and his wife, who own the business, first started out.

“When we named the business Foothills Physical Therapy, we didn’t take into account that a nearby town, Maribel, TN, is closer to the actual foothills of the Smoky Mountains, and there are many businesses in Maribel with ‘Foothills’ in their name. Because of this, many people think that the clinic is located in Maribel because of their name, which they are not! Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center is located in Knoxville, and we want people to know that!”


Congratulations to Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Rod for taking the time to speak with us!
