Whether he’s helping his patients with stiff and aching joints and tight, tense, and tender muscles or helping people discover the many health resources available around Knoxville through his podcast, Stay Healthy Knoxville, Dr. John-Mark Chesney is passionate about helping people live healthy, active lives.
John-Mark graduated from Clemson University with a bachelor’s degree in Pre- Rehabilitation Sciences and his doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Because he is committed to offering the best care he possibly can, John-Mark elected to continue his education by completing an optional residency program through Evidence in Motion, specializing in Manual Therapy and Orthopedics. He is a board-certified specialist in Orthopedics and certified in Dry Needling in Tennessee.
John-Mark treasures his time with his family, including his lovely wife, Faith, and his three young children. He has enjoyed getting involved at Fellowship Evangelical Free Church’s Northshore campus. His favorite color is orange (Go Vols! Go Tigers!) and he enjoys road and mountain biking, swinging with his kids in the hammock, and his next adventure, whatever it may be.

Administrative and Marketing Assistant
Faith recently returned to the workforce after being a stay at home mom for many years. She comes from a background in mentoring and non-profit work- which she was drawn to because she is passionate about supporting others so that they can be who they were made to be. In her current role at Simply Physio, she loves helping people find the support and expertise they need to address physical ailments that may be keeping them from living life to the fullest.
She also loves seeing patients progress and the transformation that happens physically and emotionally as they regain joy by being able to return to the things they love and not having to worry about their nagging pain. And it’s a bonus that she gets to support her husband, John-Mark, in his passion for helping others, too.

Operations Manager
Rose crossed over to the world of Physical Therapy after spending most of her career in hotel hospitality. She found her way to Simply Physio while looking for somewhere she can make a difference by being kind and supporting a team. In her current role at Simply Physio, she loves having the chance to really listen and connect to our patients as they are on their health journey, often as the very first and last person they speak to. If someone answers the phone singing- it is her!
While she isn’t working, she usually has her nose in a book or a cup of coffee. She enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters, and son.
