What We Treat
Our Fitchburg clinic specializes in orthopedic and sports physical therapy — from post-surgical knees and shoulders to chronic low back pain, work injuries, and return-to-sport clearance. We treat the full spectrum:
How We’re Different
Forward isn’t a hospital outpatient department. We’re an independent, clinician-owned practice built around outcomes — not volume. Every patient gets one-on-one time with a licensed physical therapist, not a revolving door of aides and assistants.
Our Return+ testing platform tracks strength, range of motion, functional capacity, and aerobic fitness with objective data — so you always know where you stand and where you’re headed. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, returning to sport, or managing a work injury, every decision is driven by measurement.
Insurance & Direct Access
We’re in-network with most major insurance plans including Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Medicare, Humana, The Alliance, UMR, Cigna, and Workers’ Compensation. Wisconsin law allows you to see a physical therapist without a physician referral — so you can start treatment the same week you call.
