I'm getting PT after a hip replacement.  Chris is very personable and knowledgeable, and funny, and gives me a good workout. The atmosphere is friendly and positive.  My doctor recommended Excel and I'm very pleased with it.

Excel in Hixson has been my 'go to' place in recent years. Being 83 and still active I have experienced knee problems but Christina has been tremendous in helping me avoid surgery. The most recent 'miracle' was my right shoulder which is all artificial from my right arm to my entire shoulder and collar bones due to a fall 15 years ago. I was afraid that I was going to have to have surgery again. However, Christina worked her magic again. After a few weeks with Christina working her magic my shoulder is in the best condition I've had in several years. Both my knees are also now better than I ever expected. THANK YOU CHRISTINA. You and your entire staff are the GREATEST.

Dr. Gross was absolutely great! The whole office was super sweet even the receptionist Jennifer was amazing! Definitely recommended the hixson location. They even checked up on me months after my sessions. If youre looking for a physical therapist that actually listens to you and will crack a joke or two with you as well then this is your place!

What a great place! The Hixson office is efficient and super friendly and, of course most important, obviously very good at what they do. I have a lot of confidence that Christina and her colleagues will help my shoulder. In previous years, I have been to two very good places. Excel is BY FAR the best. Ha

Catherine Miller is a very knowledgeable physical therapist who cares greatly about her patients. She explained theory behind practice so that I understood why and how therapy was helping me. Through Catherine, I am improving! I’m so grateful to have found Excel and Catherine! If you are questioning whether PT can help you, think no more. The answer is YES!

If you’re in the Chattanooga area and dealing with back or hip issues, I cannot recommend Excel Rehab & Sports in Hixson enough.

Katie there is truly exceptional. From the very first visit, she takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Her calm, steady presence—and even the tone of her voice—immediately puts you at ease. When you’re in pain, that kind of reassurance matters more than people realize.

I’ve had physical therapy before, but I’ve never enjoyed the experience the way I did working with her. Her demeanor, her method, her patience—everything about how she practices is top-tier.

If you’re anywhere near Chattanooga and need help with back or hip issues, ask for Katie at Excel Rehab & Sports. You’ll be glad you did.

Outstanding, professional care from a comprehensive assessment of my neck and hip pain to treatment plan and follow through. Christina, the Physical Therapist, was the best I’ve had and all of the support staff was so pleasant and helpful. A bright, clean environment. Highly recommend!

Referred to Excel by my PCP for vertigo (BPPV).  Brian (Chris)Newsom was excellent.  He systematically determined the areas in my ears that were causing the vertigo.  He proceeded to isolate the corrective actions required. In three sessions and with home directed exercises the vertigo was effectively cured.  I found Brian (Chris) to be extremely knowledgeable, highly professional and an excellent communicator.

Therapy from a shoulder replacement is doing great. Has now been 9 weeks and repaired shoulder is already feeling a lot more usable than the other shoulder.

Chris has been great. Staff is very friendly.
Wish I would have had surgery years ago

The hardest part of rehab for me is fear. My therapist has shown patience and understanding that was stronger than my fear. I’m not quite three weeks out of bilateral total hip replacements. I was nearly completely incapacitated when I went in for the surgeries. I didn’t believe I could walk again. I still struggle with switching from walker to cane… my fear could easily have stopped my recovery. She gives strength and encouragement when I freeze… It’s more than physical for me…she hasn’t laughed in my face yet…she’s kind…

Just finished the second week of therapy for neck and hip pain. My self diagnosis of two different injuries turned out to be wrong. Christine quickly determined that they were connected. Very happy with the treatment and the results.  The teamwork is amazing, especially the techs that keep the patients moving through their exercises. Making sure you’re doing it right. Even with multiple patients you always get the personal attention you need.  Everyone is professionals.

The therapists and staff were very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Very good listening skills and took the time to explain and answer any questions I had. I can't think of anything they could improve upon. Many thanks John Smith

Outstanding place and people. My therapist is not only excellent at that she does, she also takes time to explain what she is doing and why she is doing it.

After PT for 2 different conditions over the past year, I highly recommend Excel Rehab & Sports in Hixson. Most recently William (Todd) Gross, along with assistants Riley, Brooke, and Amy, worked cheerfully and patiently to help my more recent condition improve. Todd was especially helpful and thorough, both in explaining and seeking therapies to solve my situation. Previously, Justin Pan had done excellent work for me as a physical therapist there. Excel also follows up occasionally after one's therapy has been completed,  which was unusual from my past experiences.
