Jessica Skyler Woidtke, DPT

As the newest member of our team, Skyler brings a fresh perspective to patient-centered care at Foothills Physical Therapy Group. She completed a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and then received a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from East Tennessee State University. She prioritizes understanding each patient’s goals, values, and lifestyle to guide evaluation, treatment planning, and progression. Viewing patients as active partners in their care, Skyler utilizes a holistic, movement-focused approach that equally considers physical, emotional, and social factors. She also emphasizes patient education and collaboration, so that her patients feel empowered and confident throughout their recovery. Through a combination of hands-on skills, evidence-based techniques, and a strong therapeutic relationship, Skyler creates a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard, motivated, and are fully invested in their progress. In her spare time, Skyler enjoys cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers and relaxing at home with a good movie. She’s also an avid traveler, and has already visited five of the world’s seven continents, with plans to visit all seven within her lifetime.
