Justin Loss PT, DPT, FAAOMPT
Justin and his wife, Carli, recently joined the Knoxville community after moving from Lexington, KY, where he was the clinic director and lead PT for a gym-based 1-on-1 physical therapy clinic. In addition to work and endurance races, Justin and Carli enjoy exploring the mountains and being around friends whenever possible.
Justin has published and presented research nationally on the topic of running biomechanics and injury. He himself is a fellow endurance enthusiast and lives the lifestyle. Through various racing and training experiences, Justin became fascinated with the human body, how it works, and preventing injury. As a result, he knew he wanted to focus on endurance sports and the community around them. This led him to physical therapy school at East Carolina University where he earned his doctorate and researched running biomechanics. Justin’s goal is to help individuals answer the questions, “how do I manage my injury while still training?”, and even, “how do I become a better athlete?” He enjoys working with endurance athletes of all levels, relating to them personally and professionally.
Education and professional background:
Fellowship Training: Dr. Loss completed an Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship earning the distinction of ‘Fellow of The American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist.’ He is one of less than 30 physical therapists in the state of Tennessee to achieve this.

Colby is well known throughout the Knoxville area for his passion toward his craft, his knowledge in the field of fitness, and his desire to help others.
