Physical Therapy
A Comprehensive Approach to Physical Therapy
At Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, our team of physical therapists are dedicated to helping patients from all walks of life find relief from pain. Whether a patient is experiencing joint pain caused by arthritis, rehabilitating after surgery or treating a sports injury, our physical therapists are ready to help. Each patient has different goals and different needs. At TOA, we treat our patients as individuals, providing each one with a personalized treatment plan and education on the root causes of their pain, how to improve mobility and prevent future injury.
Our physical therapists take a comprehensive approach to patient care. Not only do they maintain constant communication with TOA’s surgeons and physicians, but they also perform detailed evaluations of the structures involved with each patient’s pain or injury to design custom treatment plans specific to their findings. Best of all, our patients are involved in the treatment planning process from beginning to end to ensure their personal goals are always kept in mind.
Common Reasons to Seek Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is an essential step in recovery for a wide variety of injuries and ailments, and in some cases, can delay or even negate the need for surgery. Physical therapy is a critical step in the recovery process as patients work to treat sports-related injuries, manage joint pain, and rebuild a healthy lifestyle. We provide continuous monitoring and reassessment of each treatment program to ensure physical benefits, consistent improvement, and a timely return to regular activities. Throughout the process, we promote open communication among therapists, doctors and other professionals involved to ensure a level of care that maximize results.

Physical Therapy Testimonials
Seth Hawks is a wonderful physical therapist at TOA Hendersonville. He’s very compassionate and thorough. I highly recommend him!
I must say, from the moment Tim Thomas, my physical therapist introduced himself to me, I have felt inspired that I will recover, and that I was in excellent hands with nothing to worry about. Additionally, I have always felt that he includes me in the therapy process, strives to educate me on the rationale of his treatment, and does it all with a pleasant demeanor. He constantly listens to my pain and discomfort level which puts me at ease. I would recommend TOA and Tim Thomas as a specialized hand physical therapist to absolutely anyone!
