- RSRyne StewartApr 3, 20265.0My experience at Onward has been significantly better than my initial post surgery PT. Avery is easy to work with, and she invests time to help me progress with my recovery.
- RLRobbie LeinartApr 1, 20265.0I highly recommend Dr. Doug Manning!! He’s treated me in the past and I received excellent care. I knew when I started having issues with a new problem, I knew exactly who to call on again! He’s very knowledgeable and professional! He listens to me and always finds the solution to helping me feel and perform better. He’s the best!!!! Thanks for all you do!!!
- ASAdam SchmittMar 12, 20265.0I can't say enough good things about this company and the individuals that they have staffed here. Staff - 10/10 Location - 10/10 Exercises they plan, email and coordinate with you and their patients to ensure that they are taken care of and they truly love what they are doing. They have earned a life long customer that will speak nothing but great things for this organization and the loving people that they have staffed here.
- TGTristate GymnasticsMar 2, 20265.0Thank you Avery Douglas for all your extra work to help make sure all our athletes were back by sectionals. Kylie and Piper were both injured at the 3rd dual meet of the season. One left on crutches and the other in an arm sling. On the bus ride home we were messaging Avery and starting immediate treatment plans. Avery did virtual PT with both girls, updating their therapy and gym progressions daily. Kylie with a severe ankle sprain and Piper with an elbow dislocation were both back competing within 4 weeks. As the coach, I didn't have to worry about creating or working with them separately to get them back to sport. Avery did all the work. She understands gymnastics and mental blocks and made daily progression sheets that had therapy, drills and lead up skills. She checked in with the girls each practice. Her background as a former gymnast and coach allowed her to manage the situation with a high level of professionalism and success.
- GHGarrett HoltFeb 19, 20265.0I have been working with Doug Manning for a few months and he has been absolutely fantastic. He was the fourth physical therapist that I saw for an ongoing knee pain issue that I had been unable to resolve over a year. Three months later, I’m now pain free and back to all my normal activities. 10/10 highly recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions About Onward Physical Therapy
Do I need a referral from a MD?
In the state of Tennessee, 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! 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 in for the shoulder/neck region, we encourage for women to wear a top that exposes the shoulder blade area.
Where do I park?
Drive into the parking garage at University Commons. Look at overhead signs: Park in sections 5 or 6. Ample parking spaces in the garage. We are located in between Capybara Coffee and Lakeway Urgent Care
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.
