Dr. Tommy Lane, PT, DPT, CNPT, Clinic Director

Tommy grew up right here in Knoxville, earning his bachelor’s in kinesiology from the University of Tennessee before completing his Doctor of Physical Therapy at South College. He’s built years of experience in outpatient orthopedic and sports care, with post-graduate training in dry needling, cervical spine management, and injured runner management, and he’s a certified nutritional physical therapist.

As Clinic Director, Tommy specializes in neck and TMJ disorders and lower quarter biomechanics, and he’s especially passionate about modifying runners’ gait to reduce pain and improve efficiency. He believes every patient deserves the same 1:1, 60-minute visit, no exceptions.

“This world is made better by serving those around you, and small acts of kindness made consistently can change the world.”
