Testimonials

I started coming to Moving Forward through the recommendation of a friend a few years ago, and it has been life changing for me to work with the highly skilled and friendly PTs. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my weakness areas and have been able to achieve physical goals I never thought possible. Fun and friendly environment. Always look forward to my sessions here.

Vitaly and his team are fantastic. This is not your average big box physical therapy center—the people here actually care about you and go above and beyond to bring you back to full health and mobility. Easiest five stars ever.

Gregory Maro

Vitaly and his staff is very good at not only identifying the proper regimen to address your issues but they are committed to making sure that you put your 100% into the workouts and getting the most out of your sessions. Vitaly is also able to identify when your form is out of line or any physical adjustments need to be made so that you activate all the necessary muscles. If you are looking to address your injuries and get a great workout, I heavily recommend this place.
