Physical Therapy | Onward Grand Rapids

"The aspect I like most about Onward is the consistency in his training model and philosophy. Onward seems to be built on the premise of movement and becoming better in tune with your body. No cookie-cutter protocol here. As a gym owner, I always have wanted to challenge myself physically and mentally. I’m so much more tuned in now after working with Joe through my aches and pains

~ Brad K.

Back Pain | Onward Grand Rapids

“About a year ago I had severe back pain and had been dealing with herniated discs. I went to physical therapy for many months but nothing seemed to ever improve. Finally, I was able to get assessed at Onward. They got down to the root cause during my first appointment. Onward gave me more hope during that one appointment than the dozens of prior appointments I had with others.= I’m so grateful Joe was recommended to me.”

~ Maria V.
