Zach is the best! He's worked with my two children, who are both competitive gymnasts for the past few years. He's supported them through general therapies for strength and conditioning for gymnastics. But, more importantly he's led the rehab for a hip avulsion fraction, and post-op PT for two surgeries (torn PCL and torn shoulder labrum.) He is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, friendly, and he "speaks the language" of gymnastics which has helped tremendously in translating regular PT instructions from the surgeons to real world training progression in the gym.

When I came in to see Zach, I was first impressed with the thoroughness of his assessment of my injured shoulder. He took the time to listen to my goals, and for the first time ever, I found a PT who was willing to work with my desire to continue a modified workout routine instead of “just stop using it” routine. He gave me precise exercises and milestones and ways to modify movements in the gym while promoting healing. Absolutely the best.

I couldn't be happier with the improvements I've seen in strength, mobility, and injury prevention since working with Dr Zach. He's an expert at evaluating and prescribing the right PT plan, tailored to individual needs. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking to move better, avoid injury/chronic pain, and improve their athletic performance.

I wish I could give more stars! Zach is absolutely amazing! He is very professional and his knowledge is untouchable! He has nothing but the athletes best interest to get them back strong and better than they were before! When he explains things to the athlete he talks in manner that they will understand and can relate to. To top the cake off his facility is spotless!
Frequently Asked Questions About Onward Physical Therapy
Do I need a referral from a MD?
In the state of Maryland, 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 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 for 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 reimbursement.
Can I bill my insurance for reimbursement?
This depends on the insurance you have, but YES, most non-Medicare patients 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.
