Onward Physical Therapy

"Zach treated our 12 Yo daughter for an overuse injury from gymnastics. Being active in sports and a previous gymnast himself, he immediately made our daughter feel at ease which was super important to us since she is so young. During the initial visit, he performed a thorough evaluation and developed a plan of care very specific to her needs. Our daughter looked forward to each appointment because the exercises were not redundant or cookie cutter but creative and fun in order to target and strengthen specific muscle groups. Zach is also certified in dry needling and cupping which are both excellent modalities to promote healing and reduce pain. I highly recommend Onward PT and specifically Zach!"

"My son and I have had the best experience with Zach! He helped my son quickly recover from ankle pain that another therapist couldn’t resolve and my son is now in the Restore & Perform program to help build strength for his gymnastics. Zach has helped relieve the most painful plantar fasciitis for me - first experience with dry needling and it really worked. We drive an hour each way specifically to see Zach, highly recommend you check him out for any of your physical therapy needs!"

"Zach has provided incredible care for, and strengthening, in my knee, elbow, and neck areas. Not only has his in-house efforts helped significantly but Zach provides tools for me to use during the week to help supplement and hasten recovery/strengthening. If you are struggling with sports/fitness related muscle and/or joint pain like I was, I highly recommend you visit Onward Physical Therapy in Frederick. You will be very happy you did!"

"Zach provides an individualized, comprehensive approach to help you return to your athletic pursuits in a healthy way and to set you up for success. His approach is adaptive and informed by your individual progression, an aspect that is unique to one-on-one physical therapy. I started going to Onward to get back to long distance running after receiving conflicting diagnoses from imaging and orthopedics. Zach listened to my concerns and treated my symptoms, understood my goals, and has developed a comprehensive plan that has addressed the root causes and gotten me back to running. Highly recommend Onward Frederick!"

"Highly skilled, patient centered, responsive, and kind! Our 11 yr old daughter has been working with Zach following foot surgery to optimize her return to gymnastics and full activity, and we cannot say enough great things about Onward! Zach’s expertise as a gymnast and coach is a major bonus. We also appreciate his cautious yet goal oriented approach that yields results without compromising safety. Highly recommend!"
