Forward
Dr. Vince Van Haute PT, DPT, CF-L1, CSCS
Owner, Doctor of Physical Therapy
I’m the owner and founder of Forward Physical Therapy and Performance. I have worked with numerous athletes that participate in CrossFit, weightlifting, yoga, running and more after they’ve been told by multiple healthcare providers that they have to stop doing what they love. As a physical therapist and strength coach for 9+ years, it has been my mission to help active adults get out of pain and move better so that they can perform at their highest potential.
Dr. Amanda Pickering PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
I’m a physical therapist with a strong interest in both clinical care and lifestyle-focused wellness. I enjoy working with people recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions, particularly those who want to stay active through strength training, yoga, hiking, or high-intensity workouts. My approach is holistic and personalized, with a focus on building sustainable habits around movement, recovery, and overall health. Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me lifting weights, practicing yoga, or out on the trails hiking and exploring nature.
Dr. Anna Seibel PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
I specialize in helping active individuals—from gym enthusiasts to elite athletes—overcome persistent aches and enhance their performance. With over 15 years of competitive running, including 4 Collegiate Track and Field National Championships, and extensive experience in climbing and cycling, I understand the challenges of sports-related injuries. My approach focuses on optimizing movement and achieving long-term pain relief, helping athletes maintain peak performance without relying on prolonged rest or painkillers.
Cooper Besougloff
Biomechanical Performance Specialist, Front Desk Administrator
I serve in the Business Development role at Forward, and you’ll often see me at the front desk. I’ve been a full-time CrossFit coach and personal trainer for over five years and continue to compete at the professional level of the sport. I’m certified in CF-L1, CF-L2, USAW L-1, and CF Gymnastics L-1, and I’m a proud graduate of the Cara Heads Slaughter Coaches Academy. I’m currently pursuing my M.S. in Biomechanics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
At Forward, I carry out our lactate and VO2 max performance testing, strength performance testing, and provide performance personal training for our higher-end performance clients. I have a passion for all things fitness and performance, and look forward to welcoming you at Forward Omaha.
