- LVLeon VH6 days ago5.0Dr Jeffrey Ashurst is extremely knowledgeable and understanding. I’ve been to other PTs in the past with low results. Dr A got right to the root of the issue and together we made actual, tangible progress. Only regret is I should have gone sooner!
- CMCarrie MundieMar 27, 20265.0Jeffrey is thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. He offers expert assessments and treatments, helping clients feel comfortable in what can sometimes be a vulnerable situation. He’s thoughtful in his approach to physical therapy and provides practical solutions to help you heal. Jeffrey also understands athletes and how to treat athletic injuries with the goal of helping clients safely return to training. Highly recommend Jeffrey and Onward!
- SCStephanie CastleMar 20, 20265.0I saw Jeffrey for sudden back pain after bending over wrong (aging is no joke!). He was able to work me in quickly after the “injury” and I walked out feeling better. He took time to thoroughly examine me and pinpoint the issue, and he explained it to me in terms I could understand. It was my first time experiencing dry needling, and Jeffrey did a great job of talking me through what he was doing and preparing me for what it would feel like. He ended the session by having me do some exercises that I could do at home to expedite the healing process and an exercise to help prevent the issue from reoccurring. It was a great experience from start to finish and I highly recommend Onward PT and Jeffrey.
- DAdaisy avelinoMar 19, 20265.0I can’t say enough good things about this place. They are so caring and patient, and made a tough time feel a lot easier. My therapist genuinely cared about my progress, and it showed in the results. I’m really thankful I found him.
- KWKendall WaldropMar 11, 20265.0I had an amazing experience at Onward Physical Therapy working with Jeffrey! From the first appointment, it was clear how personable and attentive he is. He really took the time to listen to my goals and understand what I’m working toward physically, which made the whole process feel very individualized. One thing that really stood out was the personalized plan he created for me- sending videos of each stretch and exercise after our session. Jeffrey explains his approach very intentionally, making sure I understand why we’re doing certain movements and how they support my goals and timeline. The facility itself is great too— super clean and welcoming! There’s even a treadmill where he watched me run to assess my mechanics, which was incredibly helpful. (Plus the espresso machine and beverages are a really nice touch 🤩) You can tell Jeffrey has a ton of knowledge and experience working with athletes and people in the fitness world. If you’re active and want a PT who truly understands movement, training, and performance, I would highly recommend Onward Physical Therapy!
Frequently Asked Questions About Onward Physical Therapy
Do I need a referral from an MD?
In the state of Alabama, no referral is needed to see a physical therapist. If you question your need to see a doctor first, feel free to call us to discuss!
What can I expect in my first visit?
Your therapist will spend the time listening to your medical history and treatment goals. They will then perform a comprehensive physical assessment focused on the movements and activities that are limited. Together, you and your therapist will come up with a game plan for recovery! Plan to be getting your body moving on day one.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable workout clothing to the appointment to allow for movement or possible manual therapy. If you are coming in for the lower body, it is best to have shorts available. If you are coming for the shoulder/neck region, we encourage women to wear a top that exposes the shoulder blade area.
Can I use my Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)?
Absolutely!
Why don't you take my insurance?
Current insurance reimbursement forces most companies to co-treat multiple patients at once and denies many performance-based treatments that Onward delivers. We believe you deserve better and we refuse to allow an insurance company to dictate your care.
We can easily prepare a super-bill for you, which will allow you to easily submit proof of your appointment to your insurance for out-of-network re-imbursement.
Can I bill my insurance for reimbursement?
This depends on the insurance and specific plan you have, but YES, most non-Medicare patients residing in AL can send “self-claims” to their insurance company for their treatments at our clinic. You should be able to complete forms from your insurance company’s website and send it in with the needed receipts and treatment codes that will be provided upon request at our clinic.
The amount of reimbursement or application towards your deductible is completely dependent on your insurance plan. If you call your insurance company to inquire about what you can expect to receive, you should ask about reimbursement for “out-of-network physical therapy” expenses sent in via self-claims.
