Clicking, locking, or aching every time you chew: TMJ/TMD, jaw tension, and the headaches that ride along with it.
Learn More about TMJ/TMDJoints that slip, sublux, or never feel stable: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility, and the exhaustion of guarding every move.
Learn More about EDS & HypermobilityReaching for the top shelf and stopping halfway: rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, that catch every time you lift overhead.
Learn More about Shoulder PainYour grip gives out opening a jar: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, desk strain that flares by Wednesday.
Learn More about Elbow, Wrist & Hand PainStanding up off the couch like you’re eighty: sciatica, herniated discs, mornings that take ten minutes to loosen up.
Learn More about Low Back PainThat pinch when you cross your legs to tie your shoes: hip bursitis, labral tears, flexors too tight to trust.
Learn More about Hip PainStairs make you think twice: runner’s knee, ACL/MCL recovery, that ache on every squat.
Learn More about Knee PainFirst steps out of bed feel like walking on glass: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, a sprain that never fully healed.
Learn More about Foot & Ankle PainAreas of Advanced Expertise
We treat a wide range of conditions, with specialized expertise in jaw and facial pain and EDS & hypermobility.
Advanced Expertise
Temporomandibular joint disorders
The jaw that clicks, locks, or aches every time you chew, and the headaches that ride along with it. We treat the joint, the muscles around it, and the habits driving it, so you can eat, talk, and sleep without thinking about your jaw.
Advanced Expertise
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders
Joints that slip out of place doing something ordinary, and the exhaustion of explaining it to one more provider. We build the stability your connective tissue can’t provide on its own, at a pace your body can actually handle.

Why Simply Physio
Half our patients came from somewhere that handed them a printout and a heat pack. Here’s what’s different when a Doctor of PT owns your whole visit.
You’ll never be handed off to a tech or share your therapist with three other patients.
Every session is with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, not an aide.
In TN, you can start PT without seeing your physician first. We handle the paperwork if your insurance needs it.
In-network with Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans, Tricare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. We verify your benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprise bills.

What’s going on, how long it’ll take, and exactly what happens next.

The Honest Truth
Here’s what actually happens in the next 90 days, on both paths.
Nobody regrets starting too early. Every week, someone in our clinic says they regret waiting.

We’re in-network with Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans, Tricare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. We verify your benefits before your first visit: you’ll know your cost up front. No surprise bills.
On a different commercial plan? We’re out-of-network with a number of major commercial plans, and we’ll check your out-of-network benefits for you: (865) 351-0615
Send us your insurance details and we’ll verify your exact coverage and cost, then call you with the answer. No guessing at the front desk.
Request received.
We’re on it. You’ll hear from us within one business day with your exact coverage and cost, before you ever book a visit.
Questions, Answered
Straight answers: no medical jargon, no runaround.
No, most states, including TN, allow direct access to physical therapy, so you can start without a doctor’s referral. If your insurance requires paperwork from a physician, we’ll handle tracking it down so it doesn’t hold up your care.
We’re in-network with Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans, Tricare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and we verify your benefits before your first visit, so you’ll know your exact copay before you ever walk in: no surprise bills later. On an out-of-network plan, without insurance, or prefer to skip it? We also offer self-pay rates.
Wear something comfortable you can actually move in. Shorts are best if we’re treating a knee or hip, and a tank top or loose tee helps if we’re working on a shoulder or neck.
Your first visit, the evaluation, runs about 60 minutes. Afterward you’ll leave with a phase-based plan with an endpoint, not a guess, and not an open-ended string of visits. Most patients feel meaningful change within 4–6 visits.
It’s brief and localized: most people feel a quick twitch, then a wave of relief in that muscle. And it’s always optional; we’ll never spring it on you without explaining it first.
No. Every visit is one-on-one, hands-on care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, never a tech handing you a printout. Your exercises are dosed specifically for you and progressed live as you improve.
That’s a fair question, and it’s usually the model, not you. A lot of clinics rotate you through techs and hand you generic sheets. Here, you get one-on-one time with a Doctor of PT every single visit, a thorough evaluation instead of a cookie-cutter protocol, and a phase-based plan with clear graduation criteria, so you always know why you’re doing what you’re doing, and when you’re done.
