The Onward Experience
What Our Patients Say
"Heather has been the best. She takes my concerns and questions seriously and then she carefully explains and answers every point. Her explanations have helped me tremendously to deal with the recovery and not misinterpret my symptoms or my rate of progress. Her knowledge of the surgery procedure and its consequences was truly invaluable. I'll never go anywhere else again."
~ Linda G.
"I have been struggling to run more than a couple miles for the past year due to pain in my right ankle. Having seen other physical therapists with no change in my pain I was starting to believe that surgery would be my only option. Thankfully, Heather was able to quickly figure out the faults in my running form, something that the other physical therapists overlooked, and within a couple of sessions I was back on track and slowly adding more miles to my runs. I cannot recommend Heather enough!"
~ Brian C.
"Heather has been the game-changer for my love of running. In just a few months, she accomplished what no one else could do after years of trying. For years, I sought help from several physical therapists for my nagging and recurring injuries, and when that didn't work I tried to fix it on my own. I was about to give up on running when I found Heather. Heather continues to surprise me with her accessibility, responsiveness to questions, and friendliness. I highly recommend Heather to anyone in need of physical therapy."
