Without targeted trigger point release, stubborn knots and tension patterns continue limiting your mobility and strength.

"I am so grateful for the incredible care I received from Megan during my recovery after a partial lobectomy back in 2023, her expertise and dedication played a crucial role in helping me regain my mobility and return to my daily activities and even getting back into CrossFit!

"Forge Performance PT is a game-changer. As a BJJ athlete, I’ve dealt with knee injuries, and working with Megan has been absolutely invaluable. She helped me rehab a prior injury, and more recently, her prehab programming before my ACL surgery made a huge difference in my recovery and surgical outcome.

"I highly recommend Forge Performance PT to anyone looking to improve their physical health. Not only are Paul and Megan extremely knowledgeable, they care about each of their clients and have worked tirelessly to accommodate my individual needs and provide the tools necessary to accomplish my personal physical goals!

"Count me a converted skeptic. I doubted whether my retirement-age limited movement in one shoulder was fixable. Paul proved otherwise. Through 8 sessions and an escalating series of PT and exercises, I was able to recover almost 100% of the range of movement. Paul also revised my existing exercise routine to better focus on movement and core strength. He adapted to my goals and never tried to steer me otherwise. More important, he proved that one-on-one expertise is worth paying for.

"My home health recommended that I contact Magen and Paul at Forge Performance Physical Therapy after my complete hip replacement surgery. I had told home health I wanted to continue PT, well past what my surgeon recommended to regain strength and build symmetry within my body. I have been working with Paul for a couple of months now and am impressed how quickly the exercises he gave me helped me get stronger by the week!
