Specialty Services at Covenant Health Therapy Center – Downtown Knoxville

Astym® Treatment

This treatment regenerates healthy soft tissue and eliminates or reduces scar tissue that may be causing pain or loss of motion. It is frequently prescribed for athletes, “weekend warriors,” post-surgical patients and chronic sufferers.

Cancer Rehab

We work with individuals undergoing cancer treatment and cancer survivors to address post-operative limitations, energy conservation, home modification, and ways to make daily activities easier while undergoing cancer treatment.

Dizziness/Vertigo

This exercise-based approach is aimed at eliminating or minimizing imbalance and dizziness associated with vestibular (inner ear) disorders.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. It uses a small, solid needle, called a “dry” needle in conjunction with other PT treatments.

Headaches

We offer treatment of cervicogenic headaches, or headaches caused by tightness in the neck muscles.

Lymphedema Treatment Program

This specialized therapy reduces swelling caused by lymphedema, with a focus on maintaining healthy skin and preventive measures to reduce the risk of lymphedema.

Manual Therapy

Therapists may use skilled hand movements on joints and soft tissue to improve tissue extensibility, increase range of motion, induce relaxation, modulate pain, or reduce swelling.

McKenzie Method

The McKenzie Method provides superior functional outcomes for back, neck, and extremity problems. It emphasizes education and active patient involvement to quickly decrease pain, restore normal function, prevent a recurrence, and minimize other medical interventions.

Pelvic Health (Men & Women)

Pelvic health encompasses gastrointestinal, urologic, gynecologic, and musculoskeletal disorders surrounding the pelvis. Treatment helps to improve function and limit pain associated with these systems in the body.

    “They treat you like family here. I get one-on-one time with the therapists where the focus is completely on my plan. It is very individualized, and I appreciate that.”

  • Three women in medical scrubs stand smiling behind an older man sitting in a chair. They appear to be in a medical office, with a poster of hands and wrists anatomy visible on the wall.
    “The entire team was phenomenal. They pushed me, and even small exercises, like picking marbles out of Play-Doh, helped me do more than I ever expected.”

    David Brenner, Covenant Health Therapy Center Patient
  • Two women stand smiling in front of a blue therapy table in a medical or physical therapy clinic. One wears a striped sweater and a name badge; the other wears a burgundy top and jeans. Curtains and windows are in the background.
    “They listened. They explained everything, and they helped me get my life back. Their support made a difficult situation feel manageable.”
