Stephen Wilson
PT, DPT
Physical Therapy
I grew up here in the Knoxville area, specifically Powell, and I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and went to ETSU for PT school.
I have a degree in Kinesiology and a doctorate in Physical Therapy. I’m Certified in Trigger Point, Dry Needling, and TMJ specialist. I am a lifelong learner of human movement!
My core values are: Keep your family & friends close and listen to them. Work hard in everything you do. Do what is right, not convenient and choose happiness.
I am a physical therapist who specializes in TMJ and Headaches and I want to help patients who are missing out on experiences with their kids or grandkids due to fear or pain. Don’t let this happen to you! We hear this all the time and can help you.
The conditions I love treating are TMJ and any conditions relating to the spine, headaches, and knees.
Something I love about working here is the personal interactions with patients, the amazing work/life balance, the autonomy to treat in the way that is BEST for my patients, and the best staff in the world!

Patient Testimonials
This is an amazing physical therapy practice unlike any I have ever experienced. The care one receives is the most personalized and professional out there. I feel comfortable in the presence of all the therapist at simply physio and appreciated meeting one on one with Dr. Steven. I felt in shock that even within the first session I felt a decrease in pain associated with my lock jaw. Every session I learned new ways to heal and strengthen my body. I am grateful my posture feels more natural and in alignment. I appreciate that the facility is calm and clean. I 100% recommend receiving care from simply physio.
A torn meniscus injury from basketball decades ago followed by a meniscectomy operation led me to favor my right knee/leg for most of my adult life. My decision to undergo physical therapy was twofold—to prevent any future surgical prospects, and shore up the joint’s stability and strength support so as not to interfere with my biking interests. Pain was not a primary issue. Stephen Wilson’s therapy treatment proved to be invaluable. I was assiduous in maintaining the recommended daily exercises to shore up weak/unresponsive muscles and stiff tendons, which included working the entire leg from hip/glutes to ankle flexibility. It became clear to me the knee joint does not function independently of the rest of the leg. I now enjoy a renewed knee joint, and my walking stride has never been as confident as I enter my mid-seventies.
Simply PT is incredible. They have the sweetest, most caring staff. As someone who has worked in this field, Dr. Stephen and Dr. John Mark genuinely care about their patients. It’s hard to come across a group of health care providers who listens and cares for you in their best way. They spend one on one time with you, create a plan, and work as hard as they can to get you back to where you’d like to be. I’ve been seen by several doctors for TMJ (including surgery) and Simply PT had me feeling better within just a few weeks. I would recommend Dr. Stephen to anyone and everyone for PT!
