ATI Physical Therapy

I broke my heel and needed rehab. I had never been to physical therapy before and was pleasantly surprised with the results! Corrie and the guys at the Ooltewah location were upbeat and lent confidence when needed. Great experience after such a bad accident. Thanks guys! 5 stars for all your hard work!! Tim

I first arrived at ATI Physical Therapy with a ruptured disc and sciatica, which caused severe pain. I had difficulty walking normally and functioning normally. I was afraid of the future. My physical therapist Hayleyrae Tillman created a physical therapy routine for me to do at my appointments with her and at home. During the next five weeks of therapy, my back and leg felt better and better. Slowly but surely. The goal was to strengthen the muscles and remain flexible. The physical therapy has worked! It is amazing to now be able to walk and move without pain. Thanks to Hayleyrae and ATI Physical Therapy!

My personal experience is based on only three sessions and must be stated as a factor. With an 11 month ongoing deteriorating injury prior to surgery, my physicians preference is ATI. Arriving 4 weeks post surgery, my encounter with my therapist during treatment #3 was tense. Her subjective view of my “lack of progress and pain from babying” my injury frustrated her, and she stated so. My response to her miracle two treatment sessions was an unrealistic expectation after an 11 month progressive deterioration of a knee joint and surgery. Her emotional response of “I’m frustrated and I’m at a loss as what to do” beckons the need for self reflection of skills, a more insightful chart review, problem solving and less implicit bias. I explained to my therapist, no two individuals progress at the same rate, doing the same textbook exercises, or achieve the exact same goals and furthermore, considering my injury history, she was receiving the best I could perform at that moment on that day, midway of our 3rd session. Plans must be individualized and recommended she never enter the area of skilled therapy where individual outcomes can take weeks to achieve. Her statement of being frustrated with my lack of progress, stating my rehab potential poor/not a good candidate for knee replacement after two sessions was offensive, emotionally immature as a member of a disciplinary team that effects patient outcomes. Patient history is critical. However I anticipate our post communication served as a learning experience.

great staff. haley knows her stuff and is fun to work with-thought i'd never say that about pt. my pt there made me feel much better, too. everyone is friendly yet professional. an overall positive experience.

At 65 I have been to several PT groups but by far this was the most amazing staff starting with front desk guy to all the PTs. They are awesome, awesome awesome 👏👏👏it’s not often that you find a business with a full staff of awesome people. They are the most amazing and fun group of PTs. Does a great job of working you back and they show that they really care about their patients. Give you attention no matter how many patients they are working with. I have never had such an amazing experience at a PT like I had at ATI on Gunbarrel even after care, nobody have ever given me after care instructions. Great job and thank you to the amazing staff at ATI they get TEN STARS from me.⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great, caring, and just the best Therapist! They showed me excellent exercises that improved the strength in my hips and knees; and although my sessions has ended, I know if I have any questions or concerns I can reach out to them for help.

Hayley Rae takes amicable notice and care in her patients. A person not described as ostentatious but humble and benevolent. Not only will you get your strength but you will have a good time while doing it. Hayley is exemplary with meritorious appeal and I thank her for helping me regain my strength.

Hayley and Kim were great! They checked in daily to see how I was feeling and was very attentive to everything the entire time I was there. They always try to make it fun and give great personal care! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

The pains are gone and I'm in much better shape and feel a whole lot better since Hailey put me through a tough course of therapy. It was tiring at times but the atitude of the Hailey and crew was upbeat and I never felt less than inspired to do my best. I would use ATI again if needed.

This clinic has wonderful staff that are knowledgeable,compassionate and professional. They motivate their clients and make you want to come back for more. I felt that they listened carefully to me about my issues and responded with a therapy program to meet my needs. I would highly recommend this ATI group.
