Dr. Waleed Salah

Physical Therapist

I was born in Chicago, Illinois and have moved many times before landing here in Knoxville, Tennessee. I went to the University of South Carolina and received by B.S. in exercise science in 2020. I spent some time working as a physical therapy aide in Columbia, SC before attending South College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program and receiving my DPT.

I am currently a certified orthopedic manual therapist through the Aspire Orthopedic Manual Therapy Institute, and I am working towards becoming a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists.

I see a plethora of patients with various orthopedic and vestibular conditions, as well as POTS. I love to assist my patients by empowering them with the tools to self-manage their condition and return to doing the things that make them happy.

I assist our patients with POTS in understanding their condition and returning to doing the things they love. I see a plethora of patients with various orthopedic conditions, POTS, and other vestibular conditions.

I love working at Marino Physiotherapy because of the amazing staff of renowned therapists I get to work with and continuously learn from. They have done a fantastic job fostering an environment that is inviting to all patients and are equipped to address whatever patients may need.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time hiking, exercising at the Ijams Primal Playground, and playing trivia. I also enjoy spending nights in with my partner Roslyn and our two cats.
