This Is What Physical Therapy Looks Like When It’s Leading the Way

You see a doctor at every visit. The same one, one-on-one, start to finish. 150+ five-star reviews. We evaluate the whole person — not just the painful joint. We measure strength, power, balance, aerobic capacity, and body composition, and we track all of it across your entire plan of care.

Who We Are

Every therapist at Forward PT is a doctor of physical therapy. Our team includes multiple certified clinical exercise professionals through the Institute of Clinical Exercise Professionals, an exercise physiologist, two pelvic health specialists, and every therapist on staff is certified in dry needling. We serve as the daily sports medicine provider for the Edgerton School District — every sport, every season.

Our Testing Programs

We built our own Return+ testing system — structured, phase-by-phase programs that track objective data at every visit:

• ACL Return to Sport — 6 phases across 18 months. Strength, hop testing, Y-balance, and validated outcomes (IKDC, ACL-RSI) at every checkpoint.
• Concussion Return to Play — visual tracking, vestibular-ocular and vestibular-spinal screening, cervical proprioception, and the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test.
• Total Knee Replacement — 7 phases through 1-year follow-up. Strength, gait speed, sit-to-stand, single-leg stance, floor transfers, aerobic testing, and KOOS Jr outcomes.
• Total Hip Replacement — 7 phases through 1-year follow-up. Five-direction hip strength, gait analysis, balance, aerobic capacity, and HOOS Jr outcomes.
• Shoulder Replacement & Labrum — structured ROM progression, strength with handheld dynamometry, grip strength, closed-chain endurance, and validated outcomes (ASES, QuickDASH).
• Meniscus Return to Sport — hop testing, agility, strength, and KOOS outcomes.
• Health Capacity Exam — aerobic threshold testing (VT1/VT2), body composition, grip strength, blood pressure, physical activity screening, and health fundamentals.
