I've suffered multiple injuries to my feet--ankle sprains and Achilles injuries. The two separate times I've come to Forster, I've had an A+ experience. Rachel and Melissa each got me back on my feet. It's hard to ignore the Olympic glory that surrounds this place. If America's top athletes go here for PT, why shouldn't we all? I shared the gym once with a legendary boxer who hid behind his mask (it was the pandemic, but I recognized him), so if Forster is good enough for him, it's good enough for all of us. read more

What went well? Everything. They did what I thought was impossible. They have given me back my baseline of comfort and mobility. If I should have a flare up, I'll return. I'm a hard-working and pro-active participant with their at-home exercises, doing them daily. They work. I went to them with complex spinal issues from a T-bone collision in conjunction with past injuries and scoliosis. Bob, the owner was out of town. I worked with their evaluator, Alex (who was confident he could fix me) and his assistant Nathan. Alex was masterful in his plan. These professionals are all trained by Bob.This place is very special. If you are in pain, they can restore your body and mind. I felt I was in the hands of Dr. House. The great medical diagnostician. read more

I went to Forster about 10 times for balance issues. They didn't help at all partly because they are understaffed. I received very little attention. I was often left on one of the tables for 10 minutes at a time. Total waste of time. read more

Where do I begin with this place. Well, I will say that some of the therapists there really do care. Alex Kim is great, and I hope he works at a better clinic soon. Maybe because he is a new grad PT this place was his only option. Ron Barry seemed like kind of an old bitter jerk, he acted like you were bothering him, and then he made a comment like " you might be like this the rest of your life" to scare me when my MD doctors specifically said 2-3 months was the recovery time needed ( I'm already much better) But other than that, this place is a complete scam trying to upcharge you and squeeze as much money out of you as possible. First and foremost, they have a "facility fee" that is $20 for every visit. Then, after your first 3 sessions, they say to get a full hour rather than a half hour, you need to pay an additional $38, so this is $58 total per session. I barely had any manual work done, mostly just the same exercises I was doing at home and ice for $58 per session! They did manual work on me once, and then said to get additional manual work it's around $100 out of pocket per session. I ended up just going with paying the $20 and $58 fees because I needed treatment asap and this was the only place with almost immediate appointments, and I knew I'd only be coming for 5 weeks before switching to a different provider and now I understand why, because of these up charges. I'm now at a different PT down the street and my insurance is covering the full hour, with a massage every session and a full workout after, without even a single dollar of additional fees or upsells. If you need immediate treatment just start out here until you can get in somewhere else. Otherwise, steer clear. read more

Very Disappointing Overall. Does not have enough qualified physical therapists. Never misses an opportunity to look for ways to over charge the patient. These extra charges are not covered by Insurance. read more

I booked an appointment here knowing I was covered by insurance. When I arrived they told me my copay was $33 which seemed high to me so I asked them to break down the charge. Turns out they were trying to slip in a $18 "facilities fee" that "the boss says we have to charge everyone". So more than half of my "copay" was a nonsense junk fee. No way am I paying some junk fee when there are plenty of other places that don't do that, especially when they deceitfully try to pass it by as part of your copay hoping you won't notice. I'd avoid this place. read more

Ron Berry is hands-down the best PT I've ever worked with. I got nowhere with UCLA seeking treatment for a torn rotator cuff and Ron got me back to full functionality. Also very helpful for my age and distance - worn knees. read more

This place used to be good. But now it has become a shit show. No one knows what they are doing. Just a bunch of new people being trained and not really concerned to help you get better. I hear the owner is trying to retire and has the place run by his trainees who really have no clue. The facility is dirty and you will be there hours doing repetitive useless exercises you can do at home. Don't wait your time or money! You are better off watching YouTube exercises at home. read more

Forster Physical Therapy - Massage Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Bob Forster and his team at Forster PT and Phase IV are - no hyperbole - the single best physical therapy providers in Los Angeles. I say this based on my own personal experience, and my family's experience, of trusting Bob with our care at key junctures in our lives. You will not find another physical therapist in Los Angeles who is more expert, diligent, and dedicated than Bob. His teammates (e.g. Ron Berry) provide the same level of top-notch care that Bob does. I have known Bob since I was 11 years old (I'm now 40) and was impacted by my first injury from playing tennis (a wrist sprain). He has since treated me post ankle surgery, post meniscus tear, post cervical spine disc herniation, and post labrum tear in my left shoulder. Bob has not only superbly treated some of our country's most exceptional athletes (e.g. Pete Sampras, Jackie Joyner Kersee), he has offered the same level of care to his Santa Monica and Los Angeles-residing patients for decades. Most physical therapists (and I have visited many of them!) operate on a superficial level. They assess you for 5 minutes, and run you through a few quick stretches and exercises, and have you out the door in 30-40 minutes. Bob's method is one of meticulous attention to detail, in every facet of your recovery. How you sit at your desk. How you walk and run. How you drive in your car. How you engage in the tailored regimen of stretches, strengthening exercises, and icing (the latter being crucial) that he and his team provide to you. You are rarely finished at Forster PT within 1 hour, most appointments last 60-90 minutes. That's because, during each visit, Bob insists on you completing your exercises and treatment plan with a level of diligence and attention to detail that you'll find in few other PT practices. I have learned through Bob over the years that excellent PT is all about consistency and fidelity (at his office and at home) to a specific program of recovery activities. Visiting Bob and his teammates, you (and your program) get fine-tuned at each encounter. Doing a stretch incorrectly? They'll catch it. Pushing too hard in strengthening exercises? They'll slow you down. Not sure how to ice properly (and daily) at home? They'll take you to school and show you best practices (icing is truly an art and science). In medicine (and life), there are a rare, extraordinary few who set the pace which all others follow. This is Bob Forster. If you are struggling with a long-standing injury, recovering from recent surgery, trying to operate at the highest level of athletics and competition, Bob is - hands down - your best possible option in Los Angeles. More than that, Bob is an empathetic, attentive, and deeply caring human being. My family and I have trusted Bob with our physical health for thirty years. Bob is a Santa Monica (and Los Angeles) institution, and for good reason. He's truly one-of-a-kind. read more

I am a lifetime marathon cyclist, and along the way in life other things happen to you that sometimes require physical therapy. I first met Robert Forster many years ago at a cycling performance seminar and then another seminar. He is probably one of the most articulate, body kinetic knowledgeable physical therapists. He is a cyclist himself and boasts about all the superstars he trained in all sports. I had been wanting to get a consultation with him for three years, but hesitant because I generally try to stay away from any celebrity connected professionals, because invariably, only the celebrities will get their best attention. But a few months ago, I popped in to one of his cycling seminars and talked with him afterwards about my problem. He promised me that if I come to the clinic he will personally give me a complementary evaluation as a gift for attending his seminar. So I took him up on that 2 days later. I explained to him that the two months prior, I had 6 sessions with another PT that my Dr recommended, but their treatment was not helping at all, was more out of the box--same for everyone, and they wanted me to stop cycling--which would be a killer--its my sport. Forster spent a lot of time with me doing the evaluation and recommended a treatment plan. But at that same session, without asking if I would like to start treatment that day, his staff went right into it, and I was presented with a bill for $138.00. You know--I almost objected, but I really needed to start treatment again, and decided to suck it up and see where this goes. The biller explained that the evaluation was a $150.00 value for free and each treatment was going to be $138.00. Forster added that insurance companies only pay PT's enough for a half-hour session, and that he needs an hour each time to provide the scope of treatment needed for a successful outcome. I agree with him--at least when you are starting treatment. So for each session, Forster billed my insurance company between 450 and 550 dollars for the various services--and my responsibility was to pay $138.00 for each session. (At my previous PT, I paid $75.00 for each session.) But the time with the actual PT doing treatment was the same at Forster as the prior PT. It was just that with Forster, his staff worked with me for a longer period of time. I had approximately 7-8 sessions at Forster PT, before I cut it off. Why? At the first 2 sessions, I received a lot of attention from Robert Forster, he was on top of everything, but as the sessions continued, he did check in, but there was less and less intervention on his behalf. I was left to his young assistants who were constantly switching off, multi-tasking with other patients in other rooms, and had varying ability. Sometimes, I felt like I was a patient at a PT school. Forster would come in as they were working on me and correct them as you would students in school. As a result, some of the exercises were not properly instructed, and I decided to cut it off here when in the last session this one new guy was told to do PT on me instead of Forster, and he hesitantly poked and needled me so lightly that it was obvious that this was not a valuable method. I kind of felt abandoned. So why 4 stars? It's because the exercises that they gave me were on point it seems, while not 100% yet, I feel much better than when I started, much better than the treatment at the other PT. I would consider returning here for treatment again, but it's going to have to be with the understanding that I can't be left with students when I am paying 138 a session. That the PT must be with an experienced PT, if not super-busy Forster, then one of the other very Experienced PT's is fine. If I was paying 25.00 a session I am willing to be the guinea pig, but not for 138 2x a week. Just a few other less important miscellaneous comments: 1. There are lockers in the men's section, but no locks or way to lock them, making them pointless. I had to leave stuff in the car and get it when the session was over. 2. But they have a gated private parking lot behind the clinic. 3. Some of the warm up exercises before treatment are done together with other patients on mats with one person watching and correcting technique. 4. The front desk is killing his business IMHO. Before I saw the 1st PT, I called around including Forster, and with most PT's you get an understanding, knowledgeable person who gives you light guidance on what to expect and fees and insurance handling. It was that first phone experience with Forster that convinced me to go elsewhere 1st. And dealing with them and the billing for each appointment can be somewhat unsettling--lack of customer service. 5. Watch you session billing amounts, and make sure to get a receipt for each payment and which date it is for. They use the old fashioned paper method of billing and you will need that to reconcile your sessions with payments. Have fun! read more

Thanks for the attention and care, Forester Physical Therapy! I recently went to rehab my knee and saw Rachel. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. I hurt my MCL/meniscus training for a marathon and she went out of her to way to make sure I had a speedy recovery. Couldn't recommend her enough! Definitely ask for her when you go. Everyone that works there is wonderful of course. Thank you again for everything! read more

I have had several different needs for physical therapy over the years and have always had great healing experiences at Forster. My latest PT experience is with Rachel. She is amazing. On top of being an excellent physical therapist, she is incredibly professional, knowledgable, passionate and motivational. Rachel is patient, thoughtful and goes the extra mile to try to solve and heal my complex injury. Rachel spends as much time as I need with her for PT, and when I am doing my exercises with one of the PT aides, Rachel is watching like a hawk, overseeing my progress. I am so appreciative of her approach and passion for physical therapy. She doesn't just try to heal you, she also teaches you how to do it yourself as well, she is an invaluable resource of expertise. Rachel is definitely the Queen of Healing! I read many of the reviews, and have not had any of those negative experiences. Everyone has been professional, attentive and understanding. I've even dropped in a few times to talk with Rachel to get advice and she has always taken the time to help me. read more

If you've ever been an athlete at any time in your life, you will enjoy the skilled hands of Robert Forster working on your injury. After a big dog crashed into my knee and tore up every important structure, Bob gave me confidence that I'll get my full range of motion back and full strength. I may still need a surgery if my favorite sports need more stability than I can gain without an ACL, but I will have a win either way -- either I'll be strong enough NOT to need surgery, or I'll be strong enough to withstand the rigors of surgery and bounce back more quickly. Prevention or Prehab. read more

I don't understand what all the whining is about. Forster Physical Therapy couldn't have thrived all these years, with the extensive clientele they serve, if these negative reviews were accurate. You need to be a cooperator in your recovery - it won't happen on its own with only the therapists' treatments. I had a nagging issue with my knee that no other professional was able to diagnose, and I worked together with Forster for at least six months to solve the problem. After being in pain for 10 years plus, I am recovered and beyond grateful. Lighten up everyone - these guys really do care and in my opinion are the best around. read more

I went to the facility with complete agony. I had to wait 20 minutes to see the physical therapist. He asked me a few questions, he gave me a physical excercise hand out, put ice pack on my shoulders and he charged me $150 although I gave them my insurance information. I left with the same pain & suffering. What a waste of time and money!! read more

I went to Forster after having a PCL reconstruction. I left after my insurance switched and boy am I glad I did. Let's get this correct. The people there are great! Bryan and Kent were fabulous in terms of how I was treated, the work they did with me and whatnot. The problem is the business model. They have the basic insurance package of PT where you receive PT from an aide for 75% of the time who is assisting multiple patients at one time and they have the insurance and extra package. They will take you to their back room where they will give you substantially better treatment (for the price increase of 100% on top of what they insurance pays them). They have decent facilities (water treatment, etc) but you can't access them without paying the insurance and + package. I was extremely disappointed at the business model and quality of care after spending two months there. I left after realizing I had better options elsewhere at a lesser cost. Bryan and Kent are restricted by this business establishment...not because of their ability which is extremely disappointing to me. read more

This place is terrible. Spent minimal time with an actual PT, and injury was very slow to heal. I followed the PT program to a T, and symptoms were slowly residing. Most of the session is spent with an aide, who was also assisting 3 other patients, or alone and icing. I eventually stopped attending when they wanted me to come in for an exercise program that was not covered by my insurance, even though I was still showing symptoms of my injury. They said my first insurance was out of network, and while receiving treatment my coverage changed to an in network provider. When I received my bill they charged me greater out of pocket costs for my in network provider!!!! TOTAL SCAM AND POOR QUALITY OF TREATMENT. Got better treatment from a personal trainer at the gym than with the incompetent staff here. Go to someone who will listen and not put you on a generic plan. Total waste of time and money going here read more

There a many choices for Physical Therapy for people in Santa Monica and Westside - FPT should be at the bottom of your list. My issue with them is not with the Therapy per se -- The therapists are OK (although if Bryan is still there, he should be avoided). If you are fortunate to get Robert Forster, he seems to have excellent reviews. But from my experience there -- any professional, collegiate or Olympic-level athlete will get five-star service. The rest of us, not so much. The billing system at this place seems to be a scam created by the same people who created Trump University or any for-profit college. I came to FPT a couple of years ago, after I had surgery to repair a Quad Tendon injury. I had gone to FBT when I had a broken ankle a few years back and had a positive experience. I thought the pool would also be helpful in my recovery. When I came to treat the post-surgery tendon issue, I was encouraged to sign up for this extra service at an additional charge per visit. I've forgotten the name of it, it may have been something like "Phase IV." I was told that this would give me extra time with the therapist and would speed my recovery. After a couple of weeks, it was clear that my recovery was not going to be rapid and I wanted to opt out of these additional charges. What I didn't know was that these charges continued to accumulate. After several months, I wanted to explore other Physical Therapy facilities. While there was some improvement, I wasn't improving to the point where I was before the injury. I spent most of the year on crutches and had recently graduated to a cane when I left FPT. I was presented with a bill totaling in the several thousands of dollars for charges that represented the additional service. I spoke with several people at FPT and went over with them the charges that were paid by my insurance company and my co-pays. By my calculation -- subtracting out the charges for a service that was never used -- I owed nothing. I continue to get bills for these bogus charges. I have written numerous letters explaining that these charges are bogus and I am not paying. If you are in Santa Monica and want to go here for the convenience, make sure that you are vigilant with the front desk and your therapist over any and all charges. read more

After a terrible ski accident and operated the same day for a broken displaced femur bone with titanium inserted in the bone in Mammoth hospital ( great people) I came to LA and engaged with Forster . They knew what to do they saw the x-rays before and after the operation, and we started. Soon I felt like Chris Bell and William were brothers to me. The rest of the staff too like Tiffany the receptionist. 3 times a week and the between days working at home and when I was there for I noticed an improvement. It also was 5 blocks from my home and I was going with my walker on the street. they taughted me how to use a cane effectively and finally today may 5 Chris got heavy on me making me walk without a walker or cane and pulling me from the belt to show resistance to feel that I was dragging King Charles's carriage. Plus some other resistance walks I did great, the bone fused with the other half and now waiting for the full recovery that will take months. 50 years of skiing being also a ski patrol many years ago, i feel more embarassed than the pain. Just like Heifetz would feel if he messed up in the Thaikovsky concerto. Thank you Forster and thank you Everubody in this facility. read more

I'm bummed this establishment has the rating that is displayed. I came to PT here about 3 months ago for an injury i wasn't really able to identify. i signed up for a consultation with Kent and was prescribed 3 times a week for about 5 weeks, then with positive progress, was knocked down to two days and now once every two weeks. the team here is very well informed, helpful and the facilities are clean. the space itself is a little older, but what matters is the physical attention you receive while you are there. i find from eavesdropping, or just knowing people who have gone to PT on their own - what you put into it is EXACTLY what you get out if it. If your PT tells you to stretch 3 times a day, you need to stretch 3 times a day. my positive experience was because of Kent's hard work and determination during my hour - 1.5 hr long sessions, followed by my work outside the appointments. The team is very friendly, great to work with and I'm sad my time with them is done! Peter is great, being pulled in a million directions daily, but manages to provide genuine care to the clients. Star is the BEST front desk gal I've ever worked with, she's super friendly and easy to schedule with. Like my review says, five stars all the way :) read more

I can't thank this place enough for helping me with my shoulder. There is no way I would be back at work this fast without the exercises Brian showed me. They strengthened my body to improved my posture so much. My shoulder feels better then it ever has. Thank you again Susan read more

i can't say enough good things about Forester Physical therapy , after spine surgery i was in so much pain and couldn't even move y neck . my PT Rachel was patient , kind , and most importantly knowledgeable about my injury and how to make me feel better , anytime i would get frustrated with my recovery and cry Rachel would reassure me and push me to keep working at it . the entire staff at Forester is so friendly . every time i walked in , everyone greeted me by my first name and asked how my neck is doing , they made me feel like there was a team rooting for me to get better .i have already recommended Forester therapy and Rachel to friends and would definitely do so again in the future read more

I have been going to Forster PT for a while now. The staff is great; they have been working with me on a difficult medical condition. Everyone is very friendly. My PT, Aaron, has been excellent. Always accommodating to my difficult work schedule. The front desk staff has worked with my insurance to ensure that I have visits covered. My only gripe would be with the equipment, a little capital improvement should be incorporated into the workout equipment. Overall, this is a good place to get PT. read more

I want to commend Forster PT. All of the staff (I have interfaced with) are well trained and genuinely care about their work product and their clientele. And, I mean everyone from the front office, admin staff, the PT exercise therapists and the actual PT's. My usual PT is Melissa Torres and she is both professional and compassionate, always keeping my physical safety and goals in mind. Currently I am having zoom sessions with my PT and it's helping me progress in my recovery. read more

incompetent scam artists. seemed to not have listened at all to my hip issue, and claimed that my statement that I was "getting stronger" meant my condition was improving. It did not. The strengthening was not addressing the pain in any way. Their pricing model is also insane, and my PT spent half of every session trying to sell me on why I needed to pay for the extra special rate because "PTs need to make a living too." He also continually tried to sell me branded exercise equipment. read more

Just started intense PT at Forster and very happy with the attention and thoroughness of the staff. Still aways to go but looking forward to returning to a life without pain, soreness and limited mobility. read more

I have been to so many PT's in NYC and LA and Forster is far and away the best! Kerlan-Jobe recommenced them and is one of the top in sport injuries for top athletes. Ron has taken care of several of my injuries and is absolutely Amazing!!!! Can not recommend them more highly and I am not one to post reviews but they are absolutely great! read more

I went to Forster for PT for 7 weeks last year for an issue I was having with my back... I Suffered debilitating low back pain that kept me from my very active lifestyle and just exhausted me daily from the constant twinges and dull aches that drain you. When I first went there I had ideas of what may be plaguing me, oblique strain, erector / multifidus, or hip flexor / psoas, but they didn't have any idea what it was giving them my rundown of it. They named a few things it could possibly be (none of which it was till I went to Evolution Physical Therapy in culver city/ playa vista). The guy I worked with at Forster sort of fixated on the psoas as the problem area and just stuck with that regardless of my symptoms. And prescribed me twice a week visits with a host of stretches I was to do on my own as well as there, adding to them each week. After 7 weeks with no change, the same amount of pain and a charge of $1,225 I was frustrated. While their facility is great they seemed a little reserved on treatment and not confident in figuring my issue out or making me confident that it will get fixed if not just better at some point. I think they are knowledgeable people there but probably in my opinion better for rehab. read more

I have been treating with Ron at this office post auto accident and he is fabulous!! He is very knowledgeable, listens and puts together a program that is unique to each patient. This office has kept up their standards and excellent care since the first time I visited them in 2005 post shoulder surgery. read more

I really liked this place until I was not able to come for a week for business reasons and they decided to call my in case of emergency. This a complete violation of HIPAA. There was no emergency; I just hadn't been in for a week. read more

This is a top-notch PT provider. My PT Melissa is the greatest, and all the staff members are very competent and helpful. The front-desk ladies are always helpful and accommodating. I haven't worked directly with Robert Forster, but he has been friendly and asked how I'm doing when I've seen him. I feel I'm in very competent hands. A few years ago, after a previous injury, I asked my longtime doctor which PT facility she would send her own family members to, and she recommended Forster. They did an excellent job that time too. After this car accident, I was sent to three other PT local places first. There was NO comparison - and I insisted on returning to Forster. My injuries are improving. BTW It's impressive to see some of the amazing athletes who are there getting treatment. You can't go wrong with Forster. read more

This company had a tent set up at the 2011 Malibu Triathlon. I was impressed enough from my initial contact to make an appointment for an initial free evaluation with the same PT who looked me over at the triathlon, which went fine. From there, everything went downhill. I made immediate followup appointments for treatment with this physical therapist. Days later, he left a message asking if I wanted to come in for treatment, so obviously he had not been informed that I had made appointments. I called their front desk, and told them to let the PT know that I had in fact made 4 appointments. I later changed the appointment schedule, but their front desk got it wrong twice. This is important, since they have a "no show" billing policy which you must sign. Yet they still had me down for appointments which I had cancelled. Obviously, come billing time, it would have been my word versus the receptionist's. Who wants that kind of aggravation? When I went in for my first appointment with the PT who had evaluated me, another PT came out, saying he would treat me. He had no idea whatsoever about my condition, and there was no treatment plan in the file. I asked where my PT was, and was (finally) told, "He is on vacation." I refused to see this other person, who had no idea whatsoever what to do with me. I asked why they had not informed me of the PT's vacation plans, and was given an ambiguous response, to wit, "His vacation may just have been approved." Yeah, right. I told them not to bill me. The billing manager said that was not her decision to make. I told her that the decision had already been made: by me. My sense is this place is all about its marketing. I have no idea if the physical therapy might have been helpful. My time is too valuable to deal with their incompetent management in order to find out. read more

STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I sent all my insurance info over to their office to see what, if anything, would be my out of pocket costs. I was assured that all I would have is a $25 copay and that Anthem Blue Cross (my provider) would cover the rest. That was an absolute lie. When I got there for my first appt, I was told that I would have to pay an additional $50 for a complete session since they weren't contracted with Blue Cross. They tried the ol bait n switch. What a ripoff. Telling the truth when I called to ask about my insurance would have avoided this entire dilemna. Shady, shady, shady. Try Athletic PT or Gail Wehner instead. Both are honest and upfront about any and all costs. read more

I am no longer in almost constant pain thanks to Zach and the everyone Forster. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, and since my appointment was always at the end of the day it was never rushed! Forster PT made sure to try different approaches when it seemed like one wasn't working, tailoring the treatment to my personal needs. read more

Go somewhere else. Especially if you have a serious or complicated issue. I had heard good things from Dr. Forster from a former colleague, however I was very dissapointed with the service I received at his clinic. This is your typical factory model PT joint. You spend 10 minutes with your PT, and the rest of your appointment with his aids. There is no shortage of machines that they use on you, ultrusound, neurostim, muscle stim, and then they send you off with some exercises. Having recovered from 3 knee surgeries I know first hand that this is not the path to getting better. Machines CAN be useful, but generally only after an injury or a surgery when there is a lot of swelling. It seems to me that all these machines are used to increase the bill they can send to your insurance company. Find a place where you will spend a solid 30 minute 1on1 with a good PT. That is how you will get better. While Robert seemed like a nice guy, the place just runs way to much like a business which is not the ideal way to help people recover from their injuries. read more

Had an excellent experience receiving physical therapy here for a complex injury and diagnosis from 2010-2011. The physical therapists I worked with were Amy Wunsch and Edwin Tinoco, both of whom have since left to start their own businesses, but they were wonderful. The PT techs, interns and office staff were also always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This facility is one of only a few that is specifically geared toward athletes, and the level of care and expertise I received was exceptional. read more

This place is great. I have been to many physical therapists and always just given the same sheet of exercises that they give everyone and told that I need to stop running. Robert Forster is not only treating the presenting injury but also working on correcting other issues that may have lead to this current problem. The exercises and therapies are customized for my issues. He sees me every time to evaluate me not just a technician. The best part about this place is the therapists and Robert understands the athletic mindset. They understand that it is frustrating to be injured and not be able to compete. They don't tell me I shouldn't be running or doing Ironman distances but instead focuses on how to heal all the damage I have done in past years to make me healthy and start training again in a reasonable amount of time. I would highly recommend this place for PT to anyone. read more

I am 51 and have been going here for six weeks now for post surgery treatment on my knee. I am an avid cyclist and want to get back in the saddle as soon as possible. My impression is that (1) the PT staff are very knowlegable and take the time to understand the issue that needs to be dealt with, (2) The regimen they prescribe needs to be followed - and that means doing the stretching / icing / exercises at home - in order for it to be fully effective. (3) they are not neccessarily helping me heal faster, but they are certainly helping me heal better and for the long run. PT is a very personal thing. I have been working with Kent Moody who is great and has been very involved in my treatment and shows great concern for my progress. Listening to some of the reviews I think people have come herre hoping for that magic bullet that will fix their issues, and get frustrated when it really boils down to taking the time to follow the programs prescribed in order to get the results you want. PT is what I call part of my "active recovery" and as such i fully expect to get out of it what i put into it. read more

They have been nothing but professional, caring and compitent. Scott is terrific. If it were not for gravity and age, I may have never needed their services. But, alas, no one gets out alive and everyone will find Big Gravity their sworn enemy one day. Thank you to everyone at Robert Forster for hold off Father Time just a little longer. read more
