What Runners in Chattanooga Are Saying
-
"I had the best experience with Rehab with Roni! I came in with IT band pain after running a marathon and was really nervous about dry needling, but Roni made me feel so comfortable, and the treatment helped me so much! She also gave me exercises to support my recovery, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my progress. She is the BEST! I can't recommend enough!!"
Annie Buffler

"Although I didn't come in actively in pain, Roni was able to figure out what my problem was even with my vague descriptions of 'fluffy' and 'feels like a knee.' I went from not being able to run more than a mile without knee pain stopping me in my tracks to running several in a row and maybe it being a little sore after. Would definitely go back!"
Kalyn Grice

"I had the BEST experience with Rehab with Roni! I loved that Roni and Delaney treat the whole body and not just a specific point like a knee or hip. I was given easy to follow videos as homework to do in between sessions. Delaney not only addressed the issues that I initially came in for but also separate issues that popped up. I highly recommend Rehab by Roni!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about running physical therapy in Chattanooga? We're here to help.

No referral is needed! In Tennessee, you can work with a physical therapist for up to 90 days without a doctor's prescription. If you're dealing with knee pain, IT band issues, or any running-related injury, you can schedule directly with us and start your recovery right away.
-
Unlike traditional in-network clinics where therapists juggle multiple patients during your appointment, we provide true one-on-one care. Every session is dedicated entirely to you—no shared time, no distractions. As a cash-based practice, we're not restricted by insurance limitations, which means we can spend the time needed to thoroughly assess your running form, treat the root cause of your injury, and create a personalized plan that gets you back to running faster.
-
Your first visit is a comprehensive 90-minute evaluation. We'll review your running history, training schedule, injury timeline, and goals. Then we'll perform a movement screening, conduct tests and measures, analyze your gait (if appropriate), provide hands-on treatment, and program your personalized rehab plan. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, and bring your running shoes if possible!
-
We are a cash-based, out-of-network provider. Most patients pay via cash, credit card, HSA, or FSA. However, we're happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential partial reimbursement. This model allows us to focus on what matters most—your recovery—without the restrictions and time constraints that insurance companies impose.
