As a physical therapist and an owner of a physical therapy practice I know and have seen the vast differences in the quality of care given by physical therapists. In my opinion, FORGE Physio & Performance provides the highest quality of care a patient can receive and are the ones I turn to for care for myself, my loved ones, and patients of mine that travel to the Sheridan area.
Dr. Mike isn't just a doctor of physical therapy. He's also Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialists. Less than 5% of physical therapists have this certification. What does that mean for you? They have the tools and the knowledge to help bridge the gap between rehab and performance and know the demands required of your sport or activity that other PTs don't. On top of that, while most PTs only spend 10-15 minutes with a patient before handing you off to an assistant (to do exercises you could be completing at home) they spend the entire visit 1-on-1 with you. This means that instead of having to waste time driving to and from a typical PT practice 3x/week you come in just once a week with FORGE Physio & Performance.
Another aspect that I like about Forge and what separates them from any other practice in the area is that they don't want you reliant on them, a chiropractor, massage therapist, physician, etc... They educate you and give you all the necessary tools to be independent and take ownership of your own individual health. On top of that, while most physical therapy practices just focus on the injured body part, Forge takes a full body approach which is imperative as the human body is highly complex and entirely interconnected.
Lastly, what else separates Forge from other providers is that they take it one step further. What I mean by that is most practices focus solely on getting you out of pain. That's great and all but that's only scratching the surface. Because of their background as strength coaches they can provide their patients with a strength program that is tailored for injury prevention and make sure that not only does the current injury not come back, but helps ensure that no other injuries will pop up in the future.
Long story short: If you are an athlete, weekend warrior, desk jockey, or simply enjoy being active and are being restricted from doing these activities because of pain Forge is your best shot at getting back to doing those activities. I have seen them help countless patients avoid surgery, injections, and pain medications all the while getting them back to squatting, deadlifting, running, biking, and working out again pain free. There's very few practices in the United States, let alone the Sheridan area, that have the 1-on-1 attention, the sports background knowledge, and the track record that Forge has of getting active individuals back to the activities they love pain free.
Life is too short to avoid the activities you love because of pain. Give these guys a shot and I promise you won't regret it. When I say it will be life changing I'm not being dramatic. These guys are the real deal! read more
