About Athletic Restoration | Athletic Restoration Knoxville Deep Tissue And Sports Massage Therapy

Performance and recovery are why Athletic Restoration was founded.

ORIGIN STORY

After coaching football for 11 years, Robert (Bobby) Fox discovered the way to keep his players healthy and pain-free was a combination of multiple recovery protocols.

He received quite a bit of criticism for his approach that focussed on recovery rather than performance. However, he found his athletes performed better after neuromuscular therapy vs those who did not receive treatment. This secured him a position at the University of Tennessee’s Department of Sports Medicine working with their student athletes.

While at the University of Tennessee, Bobby realized the same recovery techniques were vital for everyone. As a result, in 2015, Athletic Restoration was born.

While these protocols are traditionally associated with elite athletes; we see the most change with individuals managing chronic issues. Our real reward comes from helping active empty nesters, retired athletes, executives on the go, soccer moms and retirees living a full life.

Come get treated with the same protocols used on NFL, MLB, NCAA, SEC and other professional athletes.

Find out how to get exclusive treatment from Bobby himself!

While every Athletic Restoration practitioner has been trained by Bobby and excels at what they do, if you want exclusive treatment from Bobby, we offer Fox Level. Fox Level guarantees Bobby is your only practitioner for every session.

Our clients love their results!

I’ve been going to Athletic Restoration for several years. Bobby has helped me through some nagging issues I’ve developed over the years. He provides the best deep tissue therapy you can get. Bobby brings the experience he has gained from working with top professional, collegiate and amateur athletes. Thanks for always working me in and helping me!

Bobby helped me so much with my disks in my back, using his deep tissue massage to get some relief of major and constant back pain. He has worked wonders in helping me get back to where I need to be to be able to function without the pain. I strongly recommend him. He was able to get me in with short notice and was very professional throughout the treatments. Thank you so much for all the help and informative information to help deal with this on a daily basis.

I am very impressed by the recovery of my knee after only a few short visits here! I wish I'd tried this years ago before expensive surgery that ultimately did nothing for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend! oh yeah, they do killer deep tissue massages, as well!

Bobby is very knowledgeable and accurate in his treatment. He has treated my two sons as well as myself. After one visit we were literally pain free!!! I strongly recommend him to help any injured athlete.

Professional and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the multi-modal approach to pain and injury. Bobby employed structural work, specialized taping and exercises to correct muscular deficiencies and improve pain.

First off I am not a professional athlete!! So I felt a little silly setting up an appointment with Athletic Restoration. Believe it or not even non Athletes have issues with their muscles and pain from doing everyday things. Bobby Fox knows his stuff!! Combining his knowledge from personal training and massage he seems to target in on the issue and correct it!! After 4 visits I am feeling way better and he gave me stretches and moves I can do to help my issues not come back! If your going to spend your money getting massages to make your issue feel better temporarily great, but if you want to correct it and move on with your life-then Athletic Restoration is for you!!

I recently started using the Quanta Bio Frequency Therapy Disks and I'm already seeing a marked improvement. I had a horrible headache and it went away the first time I tried it. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend him to anyone. He truly loves to help people.

I went to ATHLETIC RESTORATION because I had injured my back while moving furniture. I hadn’t been able to run for a few weeks and was really having difficulty moving around at all. I went to ATHLETIC RESTORATION and within two visits I was completely pain-free. Over the next few weeks Bobby worked with me teaching me how to exercise and stretch correctly to prevent future injuries. Other leg and ankle issues went away over the next few weeks! I got my legs back and can really enjoy running again!!! I can’t thank you enough!!!

Our son is a Cross Country runner who managed to make the Varsity team as a Freshman. Then he developed horrible shin splints that kept him from running the first race of the season. I have known Bobby for over 30 years and he was one of the first professionals I turned to for advice and then treatment. Because of Bobby's therapy, sports massages, and disc treatment, my son ran the next race on the junior varsity team and actually won the WHOLE race!! He was put back on the Varsity team and continues to heal. Bobby treats a multitude of sports/athletes that allows him to treat all types of injuries. We are very thankful for the attention and treatment we have (and continue to) receive from Bobby and would recommend him to everyone!

Bobby is an amazing therapist. He’s able to work muscles and use techniques that no other therapist I’ve seen does. Extremely professional and and accommodating.

A few months back, my shoulder was injured in a car wreck. Normal physical therapy appointments weren’t providing much relief, and my pain was constant. I was referred to Bobby by a friend, and after my first visit with him, my shoulder and back were feeling better than they had in months. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to relieve tight muscles and loosen up knots. He is very knowledgeable about the muscles and the ways they work, pressure points, and the best ways to work those muscles. I will continue to use Athletic Restoration for any future physical injuries and I would highly recommend their services to anyone who feels like nothing else has helped.

Bobby has an excellent way of explaining techniques and the process of athletic recovery. This is beneficial to know since it can help with the recovery of the muscles. He also is open to sharing new ideas and therapies available as he is well read and studied on all of the newest trends in the muscle recovery processes. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Bob at Athletic Restoration for over 1 year now. I work out daily and spent a lot of time searching for the perfect sports massage therapist. When I found Bob, I realized that I finally found that perfect fit. Between his credentials, knowledge and true compassion for what he does, it was a no brainer! You won't regret your decision to choose Bob as your MT. He is amazing!

I thought my competitive water ski season was done and Bobby restored my back, shoulders and triceps. I have been able to pull against the boat with much more energy I hadn't felt in months. After the second session, of four, I can see the progression. Bobby really knows what he is doing.

Visited Bobby for the first time Sunday Morning. I have had problems with pain in my shoulders, back, chest, and legs. I'm 41, and about 230 lbs. My shoulders hurt so bad that even the easy daily chores at my job where a struggle. He said he could tell the second I walked in that I needed help. It takes a lot for me to visit a Dr, or to seek medical help. I'm stubborn. However, I am so glad that I met Bobby. His touch helped me in just one session. He explained what he was doing and why and how it was going to help me. After about an hour and half I had movement in my arms and reach that I haven't had for along time. I will be going back next week to finish treatment. It's going to be a long journey back but Bobby has earned a customer. If you have back pain, shoulder pain or your muscles are tight, go see him. You will feel better. Thanks again Bobby..Mike

Bobby helped me understand why I was having crazy sciatica pain in my right leg. His Bio Frequency Therapy really helped remove my pain so much so that I was back doing my leg workouts in the gym.

Bobby is a truly talented healer who works far outside of traditional avenues when necessary to achieve the best results for his clients.

If you’re wanting/needing something more than a “spa massage”, Bobby is amazing! He’s done more for me than any physical therapist or massage therapist in 20 years. He definitely knows his craft!
