The clinician
Ryan Edwards, PT, DPT, SCS
Ryan founded Renovo Sports PT to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance. His approach combines evidence-based physical therapy with practical athletic coaching to help active adults and athletes return to the activities they love, and perform at a higher level than before their injury.
He believes physical therapy should provide clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward. Ryan is passionate about helping people understand their bodies, overcome setbacks, and build the capacity to do the things that matter most to them.
A Chattanooga native and graduate of McCallie School, Ryan earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Tennessee and his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Tennessee State University. He completed a post-professional Sports Physical Therapy Residency in partnership with McCallie School and achieved board certification as a Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties.

Our Mission
“Good enough” is not the finish line.
At Renovo, our mission is to help people recover completely, not just enough to get by. Because when recovery ends before confidence returns, people don't just lose function. They lose the freedom to do what they love.
Renovo is dedicated to helping people move better, perform better, and stay in the sports and activities that make their lives meaningful. That’s the finish line.
The Renovo way
A philosophy built around getting you all the way back
-
Outcome-driven
Your care continues until you're all the way back, not until a visit limit is reached or a timeline runs out. Recovery takes as long as it takes, and your plan is built to get you there.
-
Education-first
Clear answers create confident decisions. We help you better understand your body, your recovery, and exactly how each step of your plan moves you closer to your goals.
-
Sport-specific
You're more than an injured knee or sore shoulder. Your recovery plan is built around the sport you love, the way you train, and the goals you're working toward.
