Staff Testimonials
“Before joining STAR Physical Therapy, I didn’t fully understand what being the hands and feet of Jesus truly meant. Now, nearly 20 years later, thanks to STAR, I’m no longer just sitting behind two computer monitors wearing a headset and a smile. I’m blessed daily by the opportunity to love and serve others.”

“The most notable thing about STAR Physical Therapy is how much people care. It seems to come from the top down. Our partners and upper management consistently demonstrate kindness, thoughtfulness, and friendship to all employees. I am grateful to be part of a team that cares.”

“I have been with STAR for 20 years now. I started as a technician at a local clinic, and I am now a PCC Floater. And I must say, the PEOPLE are what I love the most about my job.
Bosses, co-workers, and patients! They mean so much to me. I have grown professionally and personally over the years because of them.”
Brittany Huff, PCC
Floater
“STAR has been my HOME for quite some time, especially in Tullahoma. I began working with STAR as a Technician in 2009 while pursuing my undergraduate degree. I fell in love with the profession and decided to go to school for it. Through school, I developed a strong passion for outpatient care and a special interest in treating patients with Parkinson’s Disease. I have been a PTA since 2015, all of them with STAR in Tullahoma. The world of physical therapy is such a rewarding profession, and I love playing a role in our patient’s journey to recovery.
I admire the excellence and leadership of STAR, especially within my clinic. We have an incredible team and share the same passion and enthusiasm for loving and serving our community! I am constantly learning how to better provide care for my patients from a leadership standpoint to a clinical treatment style!”

“I started working for STAR Physical Therapy over 20 years ago after graduating with my Masters in Occupational Therapy from Belmont University. Throughout these 20+ years, my work family at STAR has supported me personally and professionally. I’ve never wanted to work anywhere else.”

“I started with STAR Physical Therapy in July 2006 as a High School Outreach Athletic Trainer. Over the years, STAR has allowed me to elevate my position from an Outreach Athletic Trainer to a Program Director and now an Outreach Coordinator. STAR has allowed me to develop as a leader within the different parts of our company and in the local Athletic Training Outreach Community.
I believe you succeed in environments where you can make mistakes, grow, and develop. We all make mistakes, but when you are cared for by your co-workers, you grow stronger and develop. No person is more important than another in this company. Being on a first-name basis shows an even playing field regardless of position.
Family First is what I believe separates STAR Physical Therapy from any other company. It is not uncommon for the company partners to ask about my family by their name. At STAR, we support one another while working together to serve and care for the community where we live, work, play, and pray. The STAR family shares life’s journey here on earth until our Heavenly Father calls us home.”
