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.

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.

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.
