"Dr. Aaron Horschig is a profound expert in PT, Strength and Conditioning and movement. Each time I’ve travelled to see him, from San Francisco, his prescribed rehab work profoundly led to permanent changes in movement patterns, served as a reminder to move intentionally, and contributes to alleviation of pain. Trust me when I say he is an expert and I refer all athletes who I work with to him as well."

"This is an answer to prayer!!! Ten years of being in and out of personal training and physical therapy couldn’t solve what he did in one session! He actually knows what he is doing, and shows real life results right in session!!! He tests the exercises and stretches and you see that they actually work for functional movement. He is awesome and intelligent and is the only person I trust for physical therapy results. So thankful to have found him!"

"Dr. Horschig (Squat University) is the most prestigious Physical Therapist on this Earth. I have been dealing with hip pain for 6-7 months. I’ve been to 4 doctors - 3 of which said I need a hip replacement after examining X-rays because I have deep hip sockets. They also examined my MRI and said I have a torn hip labrum. I’ve also been to a Physical Therapist for 4 weeks where they’ve helped reduce my pain a little but it persisted. Other issues I presented, they said it was normal to see with my FAI. I decided to travel to MO to visit Squat University where he evaluated me and within a 45 minute PROPER evaluation, my pain is gone. I’m 3 days post visit and no pain! I can’t believe it. One thing I forgot to mention to him was I researched and met with a Dr. to have stem cells for my hip labrum. While it’s costly, the Dr. recommended PRP which was still costly but less than stem cells. He said it wasn’t a 100% effective rate but worth trying to repair the hip labrum tear. Now thinking about it, if I had went that direction, yes my tear would’ve been repaired, however, I might’ve had the pain still. I was desperate that I was seeking anything to return to 100% to be active with no pain. After the evaluation, It was due to my internal rotation of the hip and inactive glutes that created my pain. That also helped open my thoracic spine and loosened my hamstrings. If you’re able to, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Horschig prior any commitment to surgery. I’m so elated I made that choice."

"Although my initially unbearable lower-back pain/symptoms have improved working alongside my local PT (who suspects I over-strained my lats while weight-lifting), it seems the recovery progress reached a plateau. Thus, I made a trip from NC to MO to receive input from Dr. Horschig whose online content (visit Youtube) I find intriguing. Yes, I was thrilled (although it may not have been apparent to him) to have met someone I find incredibly knowledgable! Anyway, my regular PT focused on single-leg stability exercises such as the bird-dog or single-leg deadlifts (activating and strengthening the affected region)-which have worked wonders-as well as lateral stability exercises in addition to "rolling-out" the muscles. Aaron seemed to have approved of these corrective exercises; however, he did realize I could behoove from another set of muscle activators. HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Aaron started by investigating the cause of my discomfort, requested I perform a series of exercises and positions and observed me carefully. He deduced I was flexion-intolerant; my symptoms flare-up when I begin to bend forward. And thus, he recommended I begin performing core-stability and strengthening exercises as a way to increase my natural support while, for example, sitting - something I struggle to do for long periods of times. After performing the various exercises he demonstrated, learning a unique way of breathing (with my core), I felt my core engaged like never before! If you ask me, I have a very good feeling about incorporating these exercises to my workout regime. :-) To wrap things up, Aaron greeted me with a smile, all teeth visible, made me feel welcomed instantly (Cathy at the reception too, who shared with me history of the St. Louis area). I think he did an excellent job, ensuring I felt comfortable each step of the way, made sure all my questions were addressed and most definitely, was very knowledgable and easy to work with! Before taking off, he requested I pin-point the location on his map (hung on the wall) from which I was visiting. :-)"

"Great work with my knee pain. Not only was I assessed properly but Aaron new the right amount of work to put me through to maintain the therapy. He will work with you through details you didn't even think about. He has a very dynamic understanding of the human body and how it all works together."
