Posted on Google Joana de OliveiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love the team at Forward PT! I had a double hip replacement and had a friend recommend Forward PT. I was so glad I went cause I was so scared to start PT because I could barely walk without a limp after surgery. My first session with Anna was hard, but gave me so much hope for what I was actually able to do! I loved the detailed plan for my recovery and the fact that every time I walked out, I didn’t have a limp! So much progress that even the kids I care for clap when I touch my toes lol 🤣 10/10 recommend FW PT!Posted on Google Kevin and Liz Van WinkleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a full-time working mom and healthcare professional who was looking for help with persistent hip and lower back pain. I had tried traditional physical therapy and it would initially help but would not provide long term relief. I was at the point where the pain was becoming too much and my sleep was impacted. I was suggested to look into Forward Physical Therapy after other friends and family members had benefit from their physical therapists. Their model and approach to rehabilitation and long term recovery was different than the other physical therapists I saw in the past. They took the time to explain the trajectory of injury and pain responses and devised a custom plan that fit my schedule. I now am able to sleep without pain and have return to some of my activities I haven’t enjoyed in more than 9 months (running and biking)!Posted on Google Kyoko SternsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love working with Anna! She helped me so much. She spent time listening to me and she guides me to the exercises correctly. It’s all personalized. It’s also helpful that she is a runner too. I love Anna!Posted on Google Samuel NoddleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5‑Star Review Forward Physical Therapy & Performance – Omaha, NE I’ve been working with Vince Van Haute at his new Omaha clinic, Forward Physical Therapy & Performance, since it opened in Q1 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I first came to Vince about six months ago, dealing with lingering knee issues. Since then I’ve consistently seen him once a week, and his care has been truly transformative. From day one, Vince created a personalized plan—not just a cookie‑cutter routine—focused on mitigating my knee pain and getting me back into a solid running schedule. Under his guidance, I’ve steadily increased my squat from around 242 lbs to 265 lbs, all while feeling strong, stable, and pain‑free. What sets Vince apart is his perfect blend of expertise as both a physical therapist and strength coach. He listens intently, adjusts based on how I’m feeling, and pushes me gently toward my goals—without ever overdoing it. Whether you’re recovering from injury or aiming to boost performance, Vince is the go‑to guy in Omaha. If you’re in Omaha and want serious results with someone who truly cares, check out Vince’s clinic—I’ve gotten stronger, healthier, and more confident with his help, and yours will too.Posted on Google Blane McCannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "When an injury and arthritis began impacting my life, I chose Forward PT in Omaha, Nebraska, drawn by their reputation for a holistic approach to recovery. My experience with Vince Van Haute has been exceptional. He didn't just treat symptoms; he provided a personalized plan tailored to my body and specific physical needs. The results have been remarkable: just two months ago, I couldn't comfortably drive for an hour. Thanks to Vince and the team at Forward PT, I recently drove 10 hours on a vacation and feel fantastic! Their dedicated, personalized care truly made a difference. — Blane McCann, Educational Consultant"Posted on Google Brad AshleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Forward Physical Therapy in Omaha, Nebraska in the fall of 2024. I had endured neck pain and knee pain for several years. The knee pain was related to the kneecap (patella) and the neck pain seemed to emanate from postural issues and some natural “head forward” anatomy (kyphosis). I tried just about everything to manage the situation, including stretching, weight routines, massage, yoga, and medical evaluations. Nothing seemed to work well. I greatly enjoy riding my bike and running on stairs – both of which I had to curtail due to my discomfort. When I came to Forward Physical Therapy, Dr. Anna helped me understand what may be causing my pain. This one-hour consultation was very helpful in understanding the situation, as well as developing a game plan. Dr. Anna developed an upper and lower body therapy program using functional movement and weight routines. I am in my 60’s so it took a little time but now I have absolutely derived a benefit from working with Forward PT. I have been back on my bike multiple times with no pain or soreness, and my knees are significantly better. I have a greater range of motion and no pain, and even the soreness has gone away. I can run again on stadium stairs – which is a great feeling for me. My neck pain is gone, and I am now at the point where I am making excellent inroads on the level and frequency of soreness. Overall, I am very happy with what Dr. Anna has helped me accomplish. If you are experiencing pain, soreness, or mobility issues, I highly recommend Forward Physical Therapy. Perhaps you have been told that surgery is the only answer. A consultation with one of the Physical Therapists at Forward will give you a great opportunity to see if there is a better strategy for your situation. They take a different approach than standard physical therapists. I am glad I found these folks. They made a big difference in my life!Posted on Google LeighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A good friend introduced me to Forward PT when I was really discouraged about pain from an old injury. It was my first exposure to physical therapy and I honestly felt intimidated. I had a lot of doubt and dread because I knew I was weak. I was used to being able to push through and heal from injuries, but this injury plus age and time were affecting my walking and my ability to get up and down with ease. No matter what exercises or stretches I tried, I could not get relief. I am so glad I called and spoke with Vince! He was honest and reassuring they could help me. What a relief! Anna is my PT and her gentle, steady, non-judgmental approach was what I needed. Anna helped me gain strength and flexibility and my pain is gone. I have gotten compliments on my posture and comments about my height. I am apparently standing taller and feeling stronger! I am grateful to have Physical Therapy of this quality in Omaha! And I would encourage my friends with nagging injuries that physical therapy is not scary, especially when you see Anna or Vince!Posted on Google Paula BuendiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new runner training for my first marathon and recently fell during one of my runs. My knee was quite inflamed/painful and I was unable to even walk properly. With such an acute injury, I wasn’t sure what all could be done other than give it time but I decided to try physical therapy. Vince was able to provide great evidence-based exercises and manual therapy to not only alleviate pain but set me up for success to get back to running as quickly and safely as possible. As I was only visiting Omaha for a few days, Vince followed up and ensured that I had the appropriate resources/knowledge to continue to return back to my running plan and reduce risk of further injury. He is professional, reliable, encouraging, and a great physical therapist!Posted on Google Jason KatzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Years ago I ignored a back injury and without realizing it my body compensated to relieve that strained area. This minor tactical error finally revealed itself years later when I began suffering from repeated muscle spasms, which kept me on the couch and out of my daily routine. My brother had been working with Vince and suggested I visit his next workshop coincidentally focusing on back pain. I'm glad I did, and I was so inspired that I started PT immediately. Vince carefully listened to all of my concerns and shaped a strategy to achieve my goals. Within a week I was already noticing improvements. After finishing the original treatment plan, my progress was so encouraging that now I see Vince on a monthly basis and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. Today my back spasms are gone, my overall strength and fitness are significantly improved, and I am in such a better place now, all thanks to Vince and Forward Physical Therapy + Performance. My biggest regret is not seeking help sooner. Vince is a miracle worker!Posted on Google Alexander BohanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last year, an injury brought my athletic life to a sudden standstill. My general practitioner referred me to a traditional physical therapist, but their standard methods didn’t make any difference. Frustrated, I turned to a top orthopedic surgeon, who told me that while nothing appeared torn or broken, I should consider giving up running altogether. That answer didn’t sit right with me—no one seemed to be able to identify the root cause of my pain. Feeling defeated, I started searching online and came across Vince and the team at Forward Physical Therapy + Performance. From my first session, everything changed. For the first time, I truly felt heard. Vince didn’t rely on generic, one-size-fits-all treatments like I had experienced before. He carefully analyzed my movement and designed a personalized program to get me back to doing what I love: running. It wasn’t an overnight fix. It took six months of hard work and dedication. But last week, I completed my first race since the injury—without pain—and even placed 2nd in my age group. I’m now training for a 10K and continuing to work with Vince, confident I’m on the right path. Vince’s expertise, encouragement, and passion for helping active people overcome injuries is unmatched. I can’t recommend Forward Physical Therapy + Performance highly enough. They're fantastic!Load more
