Onward Raleigh is top class. Scott is extremely personable and knowledgeable, and the gym space is great. As a powerlifter, it can be difficult to rehab injuries while continuing to push training. Scott created a rehab plan that works specifically with my training, and he truly cares about helping me reach my goals. I will be coming back for any future pains and injuries.
Dr. Scott Andler has been a huge help as I’ve navigated through back pain. He asks the right questions to clearly understand what is happening and why. I love getting a follow up email after each visit reviewing what exercises we focused on and even getting a video demo of them in case I need a reminder. Dr. Andler is a great PT, but also an overall good human being. I definitely recommend!
As a runner, it is imperative to have a physical therapist in your corner who understands the demands that our bodies must meet and the psychology (read stubbornness) that he will have to navigate in the process. Scott checks every all of the boxes. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explains the different treatment modalities in easy to apply terms. He is not quick to “shut it down” and, in my case, was focused on loading and movement. I will proudly recommend Scott to anyone in need of high quality treatment!
Onward has been a great addition to my care team for competitive jiu jitsu. Scott is incredibly intuitive in finding and creating a positive, but firm plan in combating new or nagging injuries. Nothing is ever too difficult, but be ready to put in the work that is assigned. The manual therapy and exercises have all compounded into keeping me in better shape on and off the mats. Thank you, Scott!
After moving to the Raleigh area and needing a new physical therapist, I was referred to Scott at Onward PT. I had worked with several other PTs in the past with minimal success, but Scott was a game-changer. He conducted a thorough assessment and clearly explained the root of my issue, which helped me understand the path forward. Scott helped me build a half marathon training plan even though I hadn’t run in years! He also analyzed my gait, tailored exercises to fit my lifestyle, and held me accountable throughout the process. It’s clear how passionate he is about helping his patients achieve their goals and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery. I highly recommend working with Onward PT
