Onward Physical Therapy Atlanta

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Angie is easily in the top tier of physical therapists, especially in the running and sports performance population. I am a therapist and I’m critical of the care I receive, and Dr. Angie was able to evaluate, treat, and prescribe a custom exercise plan that addressed a several year long hip pain that was limiting my ability to squat heavy without pain. Highly recommend seeking her help if you are looking for the best.

Experiencia fantástica: The best experience I’ve had after having been to 3 other places. The sessions are a solid block of time, full of listening, thorough recording of pain changes, for better or worse. Monique constantly gives me helpful advice and understanding of why my body is doing what it does, instead of rushing me through a closed curriculum that makes one feel pressured to say they’re feeling better. My pain has gone down significantly by being with Onward.

Experiencia fantástica: I had my first visit with Dr. Katelyn for lower back discomfort. I was nervous coming into this appointment. Katelyn was so welcoming and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable and is so friendly. I am so thankful for Katelyn and the Onward team! I noticed a difference in my lower back. I will definitely be back! Also, the space is super cute and inviting

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Monique really knows her stuff! She has helped me work through a long term back tweak and get back to lifting and doing what I love! They do a great job of not getting you back to baseline but better than baseline to prevent future issues!

Experiencia fantástica: After dealing with hip pain for over a year, a few sessions with Monique have drastically improved my daily symptoms. I’m so glad I found Onward PT and highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm giving Onward Physical Therapy a 5-star rating, since Google doesn't offer "Miracle Workers" as an option. Monique is incredible! I had nagging pains in my hip and shoulder that would flare up from time to time at the gym. Without realizing it, I was "just dealing" and my body was compensating. After seeing Monique, I was able to regain range of motion and the pain was GONE. I highly recommend her to anyone, whether your injuries/pain are from the gym or just daily life!

Experiencia fantástica: Love Monique! I started seeing her mainly for ankle and hip pain which she helped me manage. Then she helped me with my plan to run a 10k. I was able to get healthy and strong so I could do it with no injuries. I love her well rounded approach which included sleep, stress management, nutrition, etc. I’m so sad I won’t be able to see her anymore since I’m moving out of state. I highly recommend her and the Onward Atlanta Team!

Experiencia fantástica: After suffering with hip pain for over a year, a few sessions with Monique already has my daily symptoms significantly improved. I’m so fortunate to have found Onward PT and highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Monique has been life changing. I hurt my knee playing on the playground with my son and thought I would never be able to run again. After just a few visits, with needling and following her physical therapy workouts, my knee and hamstring issues are practically gone! She’s a miracle worker. She is incredibly thorough and really made a huge difference in such a short time. I just wish I would have gone sooner! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Monique is the best Dr EVER!!! No more pain!!! I couldn't raise my right arm above my head, nor touch a rig. Pull-ups, forget about it. Now, I'm up to 3 @ 205 pounds.

Experiencia fantástica: Onward PT is the best! Dry needling has helped my shoulder and back a ton. The Physical Therapist there are top notch. They are very attentive to every detail of your injury and know exactly what to do to get you back to your prime.

Experiencia fantástica: Angie is by far the best PT I have ever seen. I hurt my knee, got an MRI, went to PT and no one could figure out what was wrong. I felt extremely defeated and just wanted to get back to working out. Angie gave me hope. I immediately started seeing progress. I felt heard, seen, and cared for throughout the entire process. She understood me and valued what I was saying. She makes you feel safe and comfortable, and she does not give up until she finds things that work for you and your body. If you need a PT, go see Angie at onward physical therapy. She’s extremely knowledgeable and talented. Thank you onward!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had a visit with Dr. Katelyn Wilson for relief from persistent shoulder stiffness and acute pain in my elbow. Dr. Wilson's in-depth assessment of my conditions immediately impressed me; she explored various possibilities contributing to my discomfort. What truly stood out was her skillful application of diverse therapeutic techniques. Through a combination of dry needling, cupping, and targeted stretches, she not only addressed my shoulder stiffness but also alleviated the acute pain in my elbow. Dr. Wilson's commitment to patient education played a crucial role in my recovery. She took the time to explain the purpose and potential benefits of each technique, empowering me to actively engage in my healing process. Throughout the sessions, Dr. Wilson maintained a friendly and professional demeanor, creating a positive and supportive environment. I have gone to a lot of PTs for various injuries, and Dr. Wilson has been one of the best.

Experiencia fantástica: I went in last week on the heals of having nearly crippling back pain for a week prior. In just one session, Monique was able to pinpoint the most likely cause of the pain I was experiencing, greatly alleviate it in the office, and come up with a plan to continue to rehab in the coming months. Extremely grateful and would recommend Onward to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: Angie and Onward have been truly amazing and crucial for me as I rehab my lower back. About 5 years ago I started experiencing a lot of pain in the lumbar region of my back. After several doctors appointments I was told to just stop lifting and doing exercises that cause my back to hurt and lock up. Angie thankfully had a unique and different approach to getting me back on track by incorporating different exercises and really finding the root of my problem. Within two weeks I was squatting and dead lifting again. Freaking squatting! I hadn’t been able to squat in almost 5 years! She created a workout and exercise plan catered just for me and it really got me back to living a more pain free life. On top of that, they have an amazing facility with a fully built out gym to go through how to do all of the exercises. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Here I thought I was going to have to get surgery but instead Angie instilled the confidence I needed with stretches, exercises, dry needling, and a weight training plan that has me doing things I haven’t done in almost 5 years! I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for everything you’ve done!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Angie Callen is a life giver and a life saver! I arrived at Onward Physical Therapy struggling to walk, even short distances, pain free. From the start she was confident that together we would successfully address the issue and “put out the fire.” Angie used dry needling, wrapping, a variety of stretching exercises and integrated weights into my regimen. Slowly, I began to reap the benefits of our hard work and am now walking with less and less pain. She cares deeply about the whole person and walks alongside you the entire way on your journey to better health. She is a talented, brilliant, and gifted physical therapist. She is great listener and has enormous compassion and empathy when others are in pain. She is driven to do she can, to help improve the health of other people so they can get back to living life to the fullest. Which is what I am getting to do now because of Dr. Angie Callen! Thank you, Angie, for your dedication to helping me feel better! I am so happy I stepped…more like limped... through your doors, and I recommend others step through the doors of Onward Physical Therapy too!

Experiencia fantástica: Can’t recommend Dr. Callen enough. If you’re an athlete with a persistent training injury, she will give you the in-clinic treatment, the targeted rehab, and the follow-up workout plans to help relieve your pain and get your physical performance back on target. I have gone to other PTs for help with my injuries from military service and Dr. Callen is the first one to help me make real progress in getting relief and getting healthy again.

Experiencia fantástica: I have not met a better group of PTs they are all so warm and welcoming and friendly! Monique has been one of the best PTs I’ve ever had. She tells me what she is doing, and lets me understand what and why she’s doing it. It makes me feel so comfortable. I could not recommend her, or the other PTs that she he has in her practice enough. They are so worth it!!

Experiencia fantástica: I would ABSOLUTELY give more stars if I could. Can't say enough good things about Onward and their team. They've been torturing (err.. helping) me for almost as long as they've been in operation and I bring pretty much every member of my family (and some of my employees) to see them. The owner/operator, Monique, who likes to be called Mo-Mo, has therapized me through so many self-inflicted injuries, and now Dr. Angela keeps me moving with very thoughtful and effective care. Seriously, the team at Onward is amazing, not just treating symptoms, but finding and addressing the root of the problem. And when I'm not hurting myself/needing fixed, I visit them regularly to stay tip top. Also, they just added a cold-plunge tub, which I hate so much but also love and have added to my regular visits. Thank you Onward! Love y'all

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience here. Angie was very sweet and kind. This is my first time coming to a physical therapy and I felt great afterwards.

Experiencia fantástica: This place should be called 100% therapy, Dr. Callen went above and beyond in every session, taking the time to explain procedures, tracking pain levels and just talking about random topics that makes the experience better. I appreciate all your efforts to get me out of knee pain (90% heal). If you’re looking to a place were you will be treated with respect and “listen” to your doubts and improve health, mobility and soreness this is your place.

Experiencia fantástica: Have been working with Katelyn for almost a month now and very pleased with the results I am getting. Very thorough and highly skilled in their approach to improve one's overall well-being. The entire staff provides a very positive and professional experience. I highly recommend OPT.

Experiencia fantástica: There is NO better feeling… than working with someone that cares about your journey. What you’re looking to improve, what’s working, and not working for me on my own. I’ve been working with Dr. Angie Callen. She is such a great listener and that goes so so far. I struggle with muscle imbalances & activation for use in my legs. 2 months in, I can now do a single leg squat, in which I’ve NEVER been able to do. I’m so excited to see where we continue to go! In the beginning, i felt like I needed so much help and that I would be a headache to work with. Without her upmost attention to what I’m looking to achieve in the short+long term, I would have remained scattered in my own attempts to rehab myself. I was getting no where for far too long. The way she assessed my concerns, and initial/evaluation of performance all the way down to the root problem. This was such a breath of fresh air because she expressed how exactly we were going to put the fire out together and in turn have the ability to do more!!! I’m excited and feel like this was the best decision I’ve made for my body in a very long time because the progress is beginning to compliment other areas of wellness in my life with confidence and balance!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Angie with a nagging hip that I needed help fixing before a competition. She was thorough in her assessment and did a great job at making a personalized plan to get me back in shape in time for the competition!

Experiencia fantástica: While working with a personal trainer, I destroyed my left shoulder. It became so painful to use the arm, that I went to an orthopedic doctor, who told me I had bone spurs because of arthritis in the shoulder. He ordered a cortisone shot and told me I could get one every three months. I could not use my left arm. I love to swim and couldn’t. I was doing everything with only my right arm. A physical therapist in Atlanta recommended that I see Katelyn Wilson at “Onward Atlanta”. She came with great credentials. I had experiences with other P.T.s, who used mostly weight machines. Weights were the cause of my injury and I was skeptical of trying P.T. again. Katelyn was a wonderful suggestion. After examining my shoulder, she told me that the muscles and tendons in my shoulder were frozen. She used needling, deep massage and taught me gentle stretching exercises to loosen up the shoulder. After a couple weeks, I had some use of my arm and the pain was drastically decreased. I no longer needed anti inflammatory medications. After a month, I found I could use the arm to swim a lap and I had a wide range of movement. After only a couple months, there is still for room for more improvement, but I have confidence that I’m on the way towards complete use of the shoulder and arm. I enthusiastically recommend Onward Atlanta. I have worked with only Katelyn Wilson, at the Alpharetta office, but the other therapists also have doctorate degrees and I think they are probably as skilled as Katelyn.

Experiencia fantástica: I had such a great experience at Onward Atlanta! I was just visiting GA for 2 weeks & Katelyn helped me to work on my back, I initially took an appointment because I had a sharp pain on the lower back. I had moved out from my place & lifted a lot of heavy furnitures , so as the pain was getting worse throughout the week, I figured I had to do something about it. What a great decision! Katelyn was so great, she did a full diagnosis of my body state, lifestyle, & as soon as we got started she just knew where was the pain, why it was there, what to do about it etc. That was so impressive! After this first session, the pain was gone! I went back the following for follow up & we worked on soft tissues & additional exercises to improve the overall tightness of my back. Besides, the location is great, the place is beautiful, they have a little gym area inside for exercises, I highly recommend, everyone there was very kind & friendly! I’ll go back for sure whenever I come back to the area! Thank you Katelyn & team!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an incredible experience working with Monique at Onward Atlanta Physical Therapy regarding my shoulder impingement challenge. Monique was professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and action oriented. I was impressed with the program she put together for me and how addressed my challenge. I highly recommend Onward Atlanta!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Angie is amazing!!! I've been to a lot of different PT over the past few years and this is one of the first times that I feel like someone is actually listening to my problems and is actively trying to fix them. After each visit I get a follow-up email and things to work on until the next visit. This feels like a very personalized treatment program to help treat this neck/shoulder pain I've been having for 5 months now, and after a few visit I am finally starting to see good results. Give Onward PT a try and you wont regret it!!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had two sessions with Angie so far, and must say…she is absolutely brilliant! Super knowledgeable, I’ve had this shoulder issue since 2012, and after just one session, she pretty much had it feeling brand new! Cannot recommend Angie and the team highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for back pain and saw Dr. Katelyn. She was more than amazing! I had never done dry needling or cupping, but was encouraged to by my parents. Dr. Katelyn made me super comfortable by explaining everything that was going to be done and how it would benefit my body! She gave me stretches to do outside of the clinic and when I went for my second appointment only a week later, my back was feeling A LOT better! I’m very happy with my decision to go in and excited to see how Dr. Katelyn can help me feel my best and improve my CrossFit!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Onward Physical Therapy / Dr. Monique ~2 years after an extensive knee surgery that unfortunately made things worse and reduced my mobility. Dr. Monique was able to identify exercises, treatments and diet changes that allowed me to build back strength in my knee and regain some of the mobility I'd lost. Her approach was iterative and tailored to my situation, she adapted treatments/exercises in each appointment to where I was at to ensure I could keep making progress (e.g. she didn’t just give me a standard set of exercises). She worked with me 1x1 the whole appointment, on both exercises/treatments for my knee as well as checking in on overall physical/mental health to ensure she understood other factors impacting recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Onward has been the best PT experience I've ever had. I came in due to elbow tendinitis but I was glad that Dr. Wilson took a complete and thorough survey of my physical history, current activities, and primary goals. In about three weeks, I was back to my normal activities with no pain and full strength. I plan to continue coming because they offer services beyond recovering from an injury. 10/10 highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Katelyn is awesome‼️ If you’re suffering from pain in any part of your body you definitely need to see Katelyn for you physical therapy needs. My whole left side of my body was very achy and it was hard to keep doing Crossfit. I’m back working out 3x a week. At Onward they listen to what your body needs. It’s great when people listen to what your body needs or needs help with.

Experiencia fantástica: Onward was recommended to me by a friend in Chattanooga. I reached out to them about my wrist injury, I was then met with Dr.Wilson & she assured me that nothing was torn nor broken. She has treated me & especially given me daily exercises to help get back to track. She’s super friendly & has all the knowledge & answers to every questions I ask. I definitely recommend OnWard to anyone with injuries or to get better in performance/movements!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been working with Dr. Katelyn at Onward Atlanta to treat my shoulder pain. After just the first visit, I made measurable improvements in mobility and experienced a significant reduction in pain. I’m very happy with how Dr. Katelyn took the time to really understand my symptoms and prepare a detailed plan for getting things back to normal. The facilities at Onward Atlanta are top-notch, and everyone is friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Katelyn and the team at Onward Atlanta.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Onward after having surgery on my thumb due to a motorcycle accident. After the surgery, I had zero mobility in two of my thumb joints along with a lot of pain and my entire hand/wrist was very stiff and weak. I've worked with Meghan over the past few months and through her help and guidance I have returned fully to all previous activities with nearly full mobility in my thumb and full strength. I highly recommend Meghan! She really takes the time to get to know your unique situation and your goals to help get you back to life before your injury. Thankful I went to Onward! -Kevin

Experiencia fantástica: Every now and then I come across a place or a person that makes me rethink what it takes to merit a five star review. What I mean to say is that I occasionally meet someone who does their job so well that I suddenly consider going back and changing most of the other five-star reviews I have given into four-star reviews so that the new review means something. I can think of few places like this, and if I had only five perfect reviews to give out, one of them would go to Monique and Onward Physical Therapy Atlanta. I am in the fourth week of a back injury that had me essentially on my back, with pain whenever I moved or stayed in a position besides lying down. I have been eager to get back to running (I had been eager to get back to moving), and Monique has made a training program for me, first to get back to normal, and then to get stronger than before. We're four weeks out now and pretty close to normal. I had my first run this week, and feeling 80% most of the time. All of this was great, and would normally merit five stars from me. But let me list a few things that make this one an outlier: 1. A (very) comprehensive email after each session, detailing what I need to do, eat, drink, change about my habits, etc. this week. 2. Videos in that email to remind me how to do each exercise correctly. 3. Breaking down of my running form on video, and working in a personalized plan to make it better. 4. I can text my PT with questions or concerns about how I'm doing, or a "hey, here's how I'm feeling: is it smart for me to go on a run today" and I get a response, often within the hour. 5. I got a text yesterday from my PT with a link to an article written this week by a prominent running coach/PT that addressed specific things we had talked about in our previous session. This communicated two things in addition to the help that the article provided: (1.) My PT is keeping up with her own learning, and (2.) My PT read that article, remembered our conversation from my session, and took the time to send it over to me. Well, it's back to the gym for me. Hope this helps someone choose a good PT!

Experiencia fantástica: After only a couple of weeks under Monique's guidance, I was able to eliminate chronic shoulder discomfort which has been restricting my range of motion and adversely impacting my ability to sleep. Learned so much about the human body during the process. Very thankful, and highly recommend Monique's services, whether to address impediments to better performance or a pain-free life.

Experiencia fantástica: Blown away by my experience with Dr. Monique. I went in with multiple issues, tension, and pain, then walked out with a significant amount of relief and excited for the next steps towards healing. She’s extremely knowledgeable and looks at you holistically to help you achieve optimal health and well-being. And most importantly, Dr. Monique’s personality is like a ray of sunshine. She’s brilliant in so many ways and makes you feel good, have fun, and want her as a friend! Thanks so much Dr. Monique!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Monique is awesome, has a progressive approach and is invested in her patients. Historically I had always tried to tell myself I could accomplish my own PT watching videos online, but I certainly feel ignorant now having this experience because I simply would not have returned to strength... I went post my second meniscus surgery in the same knee, and she was great and got me back on my feet and back to my regular fitness regimen quicker than I could have imagined. Will be back the next time I jack my body up!

Experiencia fantástica: Monique has been such a gift in my healing journey! I'm a fairly avid climber and endured a muscular shoulder injury. She was incredibly thorough in her diagnosis, taking all the time and examination needed to properly identify the issue and develop a wholistic plan to regain strength and health. Her ultimate goal was always to get me back to my activity as soon as possible (which I never actually had to stop) while creating a sustainable plan for me to maintain health after physical therapy. I've always known the purpose of every session and can identify how I've progressed. Within three weeks, I was fully recovered with no pain while climbing. It's worth every dollar. You will be in good hands at OnWard.

Experiencia fantástica: Monique is very knowledgeable and I really trusted her assessment and ability to help me with the pain I was experiencing in my feet and my knee. Time will tell how well it works but it already feels looser after one session. Would definitely use her again if needed. People wait too long to do anything about aches and pains and there are people who can help without surgical or medication interventions. Medications only mask the symptoms and don’t fix the root of the problem!

Experiencia fantástica: My initial evaluation with Monique was exactly what I needed. She is holistic in her practice and we talked about sleep, nutrition, stress, and of course the physical problem I am seeking help for. She carefully watched how I move and also did a thorough hands on evaluation to help troubleshoot the cause. I really felt seen and heard. I had been going the more traditional physical therapy route for a while, and I just didn't get enough one on one attention with the overlapping patient appointments, and I wasn't seeing results and often left feeling discouraged. With Monique, the entire time is dedicated to you. She is professional, thorough, personable, and knows her stuff! **I am still working with Monique and wanted to say what a caring person she is. Last week, she called my doctor to speak with him about my progress and her thoughts based on some additional testing and evaluation that she performed, and then today, knowing how much I like to be outside, she brought the equipment we needed outside so I could work out in the sun on a beautiful day. I am so appreciative of her concern for me and helping me feel better. And I am continuously impressed with her dedication and knowledge.

Experiencia fantástica: All I can say is WOW! I have had a rough road with my injuries that has included several different physical therapy groups. In my initial consultation/treatment with Monique, I received more relief than I have from all of the others combined over the past year. Monique has her own unique approach and is extremely knowledgable! Thank you so much Onward!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been seeing Dr. Katelyn for a hip impingement issue. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Her follow up is great and I can tell that she has a heart to help her patients. The space is beautiful and well stocked to help a variety of people. I've already noticed a difference in my issue, and look forward to continuing to better my life with Dr. Katelyn!

Experiencia fantástica: After being in pain for months my husband convinced me to call Onward Atlanta to see Monique and I am so glad I did. For the first time in a long time I am pain free! Monique was amazing! 3 sessions of dry needling, stretching homework and a short work out routine for me to build strength and I feel so much better. Highly recommend! She is the BEST!

Experiencia fantástica: Just completed my evaluation with Dr. Meghan, and I am so impressed. I am so excited to have a plan for recovery and pain free movement. Dr. Meghan listened to me, was so thorough, and is committed to helping me through this process. You can tell she is passionate about helping her clients live a healthy and pain-free life. So excited I'm working with Dr. Meghan at Onward!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Monique and my experience with Onward so far! I have only been to two sessions and my pain has already significantly decreased. Day one pain level around 7-8. After my second session yesterday, I am able to move around and my pain has not been higher than a 4. She is very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I am very happy that this is a one on one session. I have been to physical therapy in the past where the therapist works on multiple people at the same time. Not at Onward; this is definitely top notch in comparison. If you have been thinking about getting your lower back pain evaluated, make an appointment ASAP! She is amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: For MONTHS I have heard great things about Monique and been meaning to make plans to visit her. Finally, last week I had my first appointment at Onward and it was so worth the wait! Immediately she was so welcoming, wanted to get to know about me, and see what my concerns and goals were. The way she described exercises and movements to me were easily understood and beneficial. In short: She knows her stuff, y’all! After my visit, she sent me more information and videos to practice at the gym and throughout my daily routine. Already thankful for this place and can’t wait to be back again soon.

Experiencia fantástica: I wish I could give my experience with Monique 6 stars! I started with Monique right before a scheduled ankle surgery, and have been working with her through the surgery and recovery process. She is smart, focused, and goal oriented. I really appreciate how she integrates different strategies to maintain the best treatment plan for me and my body. The treatment at Onward feels unlike any PT I have ever received (in the BEST way). I cannot recommend Onward enough!
