Ryan from Onward has been my PT for over a year and has helped me recover from back surgery and a tricky nerve issue. Ryan listens extremely well and takes notes at each session and plans our sessions based on my current situation. Through a combination of body work, dry needling, cupping, and strength training, I have made tremendous progress with his help. The facilities are always clean and the environment is always pleasant. Ryan has gone above and beyond to find ways to rehab my difficult injury. I would recommend Ryan and Onward to anyone.
Cora at Onward Physical Therapy has been an incredibly supportive and knowledgeable resource for me. After an unexpected C-section and a postpartum recovery that lacked intentional, structured movement, I developed significant lower back pain that was impacting my daily life. Cora took the time to thoroughly assess my individual needs and clearly explain what was happening in my body. She empowered me with practical, evidence-based movements I could safely do at home to rebuild strength, restore confidence in my movement, and ultimately relieve the chronic pain I was experiencing. I have truly appreciated the professionalism and care I’ve received from Cora and will continue to rely on her expertise as needs arise. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective, and knowledgeable physical therapy care.
I reached out to Ryan at Onward after dealing with significant pain while running and training for my marathon—so much so that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to complete it. After a thorough running assessment, Ryan provided simple, targeted exercises and practical running recommendations that completely resolved my knee pain. Not only did I recover, but I became a faster and more confident runner. I went from having to stop every few miles due to pain to completing a 20-mile run comfortably, at a much faster pace, and without stopping. The difference was incredible—my 14-mile run was one of my hardest, yet the 20-miler afterward felt like a breeze. If you’re experiencing pain while running or working out, I can’t recommend Ryan enough. I’ve attached my running stats as proof of the progress!
Dr Ryan and the team are fantastic! After major surgery, they’ve helped me eliminate pain and regain strength and mobility in my shoulder. At the same time, we addressed a long-term knee problem. Where I thought I would have a knee replacement it now looks like Dr. Ryan has my knee strong and stable enough surgery won’t be necessary.! Life changer, Highly recommend!!
After years of struggling with a persistent jaw issue—including trying everything including massage, mouth guards, acupuncture, other physical therapist and surgery—I finally feel hopeful, thanks to Ryan. From the very first session, Ryan took the time to truly understand my condition. The evaluation was incredibly thoughtful and thorough, identifying causes that had not been considered before. What sets Ryan apart is not just the care, but the clarity. Every step of the treatment was explained in a way that made sense, and the take-home exercises were tailored and practical. I never felt rushed—Ryan genuinely invests time in each session, making me feel heard and supported. For the first time in years, I’m experiencing less pain and beginning to regain function. I’m so grateful to have found Ryan and would recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate, expert care.
