Not sure this workshop is for you? Here is what our past attendees have said…
When I first signed up for the workshop I was skeptical that it would just be a sales pitch. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I learned valuable and practical information that helped me the same day. So glad I attended.
Whoever said you can’t get anything for free was wrong. The workshop was extremely helpful, and even though I didn’t want to do therapy at the time the presenter was extremely patient and stayed late to answer all my questions.
When I first came to the workshop I was convinced I needed surgery for my knee. After the workshop I decided to first try the less invasive approach and can’t believe how much better I am feeling and moving. The team at Forward really delivered. Highly recommend.
