View open positionsWho We Are
Kristen and I started Forward to build the kind of practice we always wanted to work in, and to help raise the standard of what physical therapy can be. We are proud to be among the leaders in our profession, and prouder still of the team we have built around that vision.
Forward is an independent group of expert clinicians who share one standard: do excellent work, keep learning, and treat people well. We have been intentional about bringing together like-minded clinicians who love the craft and push each other to be better. Expert clinicians without an ego, who genuinely enjoy the work and the people they do it with.
Care here is led by Doctors of Physical Therapy and practiced through direct access, with progressive loading, real conditioning, objective testing, and a full hour with every patient. But what makes Forward special is the people. This is a team that feels like family, and a place clinicians are proud to call home.
What We’re Building
Forward is built on a simple idea: connect exercise science to clinical practice, measure everything that matters, and give clinicians the environment to do their best work.
We practice under direct access, the way the profession is meant to be. You evaluate, you design the plan of care, and you set the course of care from objective data.
We built Return+, our own clinical testing platform grounded in nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles, and its tools run through the whole clinic. You measure strength symmetry, aerobic capacity, body composition, ventilatory thresholds, grip strength, balance, gait, and patient-reported outcomes, then use that data to drive care and advocate for every authorized visit your patients deserve.
We focus on what actually extends lives: aerobic fitness, muscle mass, bone density, functional capacity. We get upstream, because physical therapists are the most qualified providers to do it.
We built the tools, the systems, and the environment. We’re not done building, and we’re looking for like-minded clinicians to build it with us.
