Dr. Waleed Salah

Doctor of Physical Therapy, Physical Therapist

PT, DPT, BS Exercise Science

I was born in Chicago, Illinois and have moved many times before landing here in Knoxville. 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 PT aide in Columbia, SC before attending South College’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program and receiving my DPT.

I am currently working towards becoming a certified orthopedic manual therapist through the Aspire Orthopedic Manual Therapy Institute and would then like to complete a fellowship in orthopedic manual therapy.

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 tools to self-manage their condition and return to doing the things that make them happy.

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.
