I am getting back into the swing of things with crossfit workouts, which comes with getting shoulders mobile again. I appreciate Jacob and his knowledge to trigger the right mobility exercises and treatment. Along with the patience on the first initial consult to find exactly where the pain in my shoulders were. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment throughout my strength training

Had an appointment with Jacob, and he was able to pinpoint a shoulder issue I’ve been dealing with through a full body analysis. After a couple of different types of therapy/exercises, my shoulder felt significantly better! Already booked sessions for the next two weeks, highly recommend Onward for all physical therapy needs! Very knowledgeable staff and a great facility 💪🏼

My husband started seeing Jacob and loves working with him so I thought I'd see what all the talk is about. Jacob did not disappoint! He's super knowledgeable, kind and professional. I have some complex issues and he's been super determined to get to the root of my issue and not just put a bandaid over it. Ive only seen him 3 times and we've already seen improvement. That's a win in my book! The facility is super clean and everyone that has greeted me at the door have been super sweet and kind. If you haven't checked out Onward PT, I highly recommend!

Dr. Grace at Onward Physical Therapy has been incredibly helpful for me as a very scaled, middle-aged athlete. I use that athlete term loosely. She’s helped me identify & work through smaller injuries and movement issues before they turn into something more serious. Her focus on strength, mobility, and practical modifications has allowed me to stay in the gym 4–5 days a week with confidence. She takes a thoughtful, long-term approach to injury prevention, and I really appreciate how personalized and realistic her care is.

Dr. Jacob has been key to rehabbing my elbow through in-depth evaluations, exercises, and dry needling. More than that, though, he goes above and beyond to ask about and address any other issues I may be having to ensure I prevent re-injuring my elbow (or anywhere for that matter) and maintain full-body strength. Every appointment with him reaffirms how much he cares about his clients’ health, strength, goals, and personal lives. He is also more than happy to direct me to other Onward therapists if I need anything in their areas of expertise, like TMJ or pelvic floor, which further shows how much he prioritizes my needs. I’m so grateful to have found him and Onward Physical Therapy and highly recommend them to anyone in search of their next physical therapist!
Frequently Asked Questions About Onward Physical Therapy
Do I need a referral from an MD?
In the state of Kansas, no referral is needed to see a physical therapist. If you question your need to see your 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 around the key movements and activities that are limited. Together, you and your therapist will come up with a game plan for recovery!
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 in for the shoulder/neck region, we encourage women to wear a top that exposes the shoulder blade area.
Where should I park?
Onward Kansas City is located in the Meadowbrook Village shopping mall in the Meadowbrook Office Building on the ground floor next to the Kansas City Ballet South Campus studio on the Northeast corner of 95th and Nall Avenue. There is plenty of spacious and free parking in both the upper and lower lots around the building.
Can I use my flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA)?
Absolutely!
Why don't you take my insurance?
Current insurance reimbursement rates force 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 superbill for you, which will allow you to easily submit proof of your appointment to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.
Can I bill my insurance for reimbursement?
This depends on the insurance you have, but YES, most non-Medicare patients residing in KS can send “self-claims” to their insurance company for their treatments at our clinic. You should be able to print claim 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.
