Driven To Help Others

Physical Therapist Dr. Trevor Ling

AFTER GRADUATING FROM CHRISTIAN BROTHERS HIGH SCHOOL IN 1998...

Dr. Trevor Ling left the mid-south to pursue a collegiate soccer career and a degree in health sciences. While away, he discovered his true calling. After being injured himself and going through the recovery process, he knew that he wanted to work in the fields of athletic training and physical therapy. He graduated with a degree in Sports Medicine and Athletic Training from DePauw University in 2001, and went on to further his education at Shenandoah University. 

Upon completion of his Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy he married his bride, Amanda, and practiced medicine in the Virginia area. Together, they returned to his home town of Memphis in 2007. Dr. Ling’s goal in returning to Memphis was to further expand his education in manual therapy, orthopedics, and business. His last 16 years of experience in Shelby County have included work with high school and adult athletes, weekend warriors, triathletes, runners and everyone in between.

Dr. Ling has built a team of world class healthcare professionals that have a strong following of repeat clientele. They work to help people in their Mid South communities overcome health hurdles and live confidently, even when they feel stuck.
