East Tennessee Spine & Sport hosted a private McKenzie Part C course with Gary D***s of the McKenzie Institute earlier this summer. This hands-on training helped sharpen our team’s clinical approach and reinforced the importance of giving patients more than just exercises.

As one of our staff members reflected:

🗣 “Gary reminded us that key to what we do is giving people a strategy vs. stretch. It was a great takeaway from the class which echoes our everyday involvement with patients. Each person gets a custom strategy that addresses their pain, complaint or limitation.”

At ETSS, every continuing education opportunity is another way we deliver on our promise: more knowledge, more strategy, and more results for our patients.

Concussion Comeback

Meet Braxton Allen. He’s a recent concussion PT graduate from our North Knoxville clinic.

After a 4-wheeler accident left him with a concussion, Braxton turned to Spine & Sport for help. With the guidance (and legendary balance drills) of our very own Bill Pendergrass at the Fountain City clinic, Braxton made a full recovery. He even designed a custom t-shirt to prove it and to show his gratitude!

His shirt says it all:
✔️ Dizziness? Gone.
✔️ Standing without falling over? Check.
✔️ Brain fog? Cleared.
✔️ Butt kicked? Repeatedly.

Concussion care is no joke — but our team knows how to make recovery effective and memorable.

👏 Way to go, Braxton. And shoutout to Bill for the expert care!
