Shoulder Pain
What is Shoulder Pain? According to the National Institutes of Health, shoulder pain is the result of soft tissue breakdown within your shoulders. This can include problems with your ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles, and all other tissues in the shoulder area. Shoulder pain can happen in a variety of ways.
Back Pain & Sciatica
If you’re dealing with back pain, whether it’s due to sciatica or some other cause, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, back pain is so common that 8 out of 10 people will deal with it during their lifetime. Dealing with back pain can be a challenge because it requires a special approach if you want long-term results.
Neck Pain & Headaches
Your neck is one of the most complex bundles of bones, nerves, and muscles in your entire body. In fact, your neck is the site of a series of nerves that control every facial and head movement you make as well as all sensation below your shoulders. It’s no wonder why neck pain and any resulting headaches are cause for concern, especially when you cannot immediately identify their cause.
Hip & Knee Pains
Hip and knee pain are quite common problems for many people today, especially among patients who suffer from chronic conditions like arthritis. If you suffer from hip or knee pain, you’re more likely to have other physical problems as well — mainly because you have a higher chance of falling.
Ankle & Foot Pains
Experiencing foot pain? Is it difficult to walk, exercise, or socialize due to this discomfort? It’s really no surprise. Your feet are some of the hardest working parts of your body. Every day, they serve as shock absorbers and buffer up to one million pounds of pressure as you traverse the world.

I have only had my initial session at Forward Motion for plantar fasciitis; however, I have already been impressed by the thoroughness of the assessment performed by Hanna Vazquez, as well as the efficacy of the initial exercises prescribed. In the afternoon … More after the session, I needed to walk to a number of different places, and the pain level was significantly decreased! Dealing with this problem and the associated imbalances and postural issues will take some time, but this was an extremely encouraging start!

My husband, Gene, and I have been going to Forward Motion Physical Therapy in Clifton during the past year, where our therapist, Evan, has been treating each of us for different health conditions. His was due to complications of spinal surgery and mine … More for plantar fasciitis. Evan did an excellent job of evaluating our problems and creating a treatment plan for each of us. He made us feel very comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. We made good progress and feel that we are both much improved as a result.
The facility is clean and well maintained, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. They all went above and beyond to help us and were efficient at making sure we had whatever equipment was needed at our exercise spots upon arrival. Thank you to everyone for making our PT experience as pleasant as possible and for helping us to feel better!ELAINE H ★★★★★
