“I saw Dr. Heather to help me with postpartum/pelvic floor recovery. She was so personalable, thorough, and encouraging! She really listened to my concerns, related to me, and gave me reasonable and attainable exercises to do at home! I was only able to do two sessions, and she made sure we made the most of them -- as well as setting up a more long term plan for recovery. I am so happy I went to Onward, I will certainly be going back in the future for any physical therapy needs; especially whenever I am pregnant again.”

“Heather has been such an encouraging physical therapist Her visit gave me the courage to pursue my ultrarunning goals. My son, daughter, and I missed the cutoff at mile 70-ish at the Tahoe 200 in 2025, but I went on to complete two other 100-mile runs in 2025. Then I really trained hard and ran 180 miles in a 4-day event in the mountains, with a moderate amount of climbing. I was very comfortable. On a daily basis, I am 99% symptom-free; I can lift the grandkids, backpack with 45 pounds on my back over rugged terrain, do my strengthening 3x a week, and run all day (slowly). I'm also a PT. And, I think so often about how much our one visit shifted my life. It makes me proud of our profession. And, exceptionally grateful for your role in my journey. What's next? I'm not sure; my body is still catching up from the 180-mile run. I do know that I have no sense of limits because of my pelvic floor. I'm a cautious type, so I suspect my next goal will be another 100+ run with flexible cutoffs or a timed event, so I can experience what I train for.”

“Highly recommend Alex! After tweaking my lower back, I was dealing with pain whenever I sat or laid down. Through a combination of in-office treatment and at-home exercises, Alex helped me get back to feeling normal in about two and a half months”

“Alex did a tremendous job helping me identify the source of my calf injury. He then worked with me to plan out an actionable rehab plan that worked incredibly well. I got back to a normal active lifestyle quickly by following the plan and putting in the effort. His plan, follow up, and support were the key to healing quickly. Working with him was an excellent experience that i'd recommend to anyone.”

“Wow, what a superb medical experience. I wish all my medical providers could be Alex. He had a great bedside manner and knew how to resolve my issue and did so successfully. Very personalized. No corporate feel. I will return if I need physical therapy without hesitation.”

“Dr. Alex provided me with a great session today. I did a running assessment with him, and I really appreciated his attention to detail and his clear passion for his work. He gave me two key insights and focuses that I’m confident will support my running, and overall training goals going forward. Thank you doctor!”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Alex Benitez at Onward Physical Therapy for about five months for persistent neck pain and shoulder issues that were causing headaches and limiting my mobility. Before starting therapy, I had been relying on OTC pain medication for over two years just to manage daily discomfort. Thanks to Alex’s attentive care and consistent guidance, my headaches are now gone, and I’ve regained comfortable movement in my shoulder. Alex is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive—he always made sure the exercises were appropriate for my abilities and never overwhelming. He also followed up after visits and sent me videos of the exercises so I could remember and perform the movements correctly at home. Each session felt productive, with clear takeaways I could continue on my own. I also appreciated that his clinic and equipment were practical and accessible, making it easy to replicate exercises without needing a gym membership. I’m truly grateful for the progress I’ve made and the relief I’ve found. I will definitely return to Alex for any future concerns and highly recommend Onward Physical Therapy to anyone looking for compassionate, effective care.”

“I went to Alex the other day for a professional bike fit. As a middle-aged athlete with chronic injuries, I've experienced left knee pain on long rides for as long as I can remember. Alex was super professional in assessing and fine-tuning my cleat position/a wedge shim, seat height/angle/fore-aft position, handlbars/stem, etc. It was really fun to see and feel in real time the improvements in both my power output and knee/hip/ankle alignment on my left side, and comfort level on the bike. Highly recommend. Thanks, Alex.”

“I've loved Dr. Kasia's shred strong classes! She creates a safe environment where I feel like I can challenge myself. Mountain biking can be an intimidating community, but I love working out with other women and building our confidence together! I always learn something new and truly feel that workouts are improving my riding through not only strength work, but balance, mobility, recovery, and even falling safely. Dr. Kasia thinks of it all!”

“Heather got me back on the Pacific Crest Trail! I signed up to join my nephew, a PCT thru-hiker, on parts of sections J and K of the PCT. After finishing 30 miles on section J, my lower back seized up, making it uncomfortable to walk or climb stairs, even without a backpack. I visited Onward Bellingham's new PT clinic in the Granary Building where Heather did a thorough evaluation. She performed some back manipulations, then some cupping, then had me do several reps of high-intensity exercise on the air bike, followed by kettlebell squats with my back flat against the wall, and floor stretches. Photos before and after treatment showed a significant improvement in range of motion. I returned to the PCT the next day to join my nephew for 40 more miles of backpacking with a 30lb pack without pain. Thank you Heather! June 2022 update I attended an Onward Bellingham clinic today on "Runners knee". This was such a great running clinic! Dr. Alex Benitez provided a clear, informative, and entertaining presentation addressing the most common problem runners face. He described simple steps that all runners can apply to reduce the frequency and severity of patella femoral pain. The presentation included slow-mo gait analysis video with live on-screen mark-ups showing common misalignment, crossover, and heal-striking problems and how to correct these issues. The clinic included revealing audience participation exercises (I need to work on quad strength!) and plenty of time for Q&A and discussion. Any Bellingham-area runners who did not attend today's clinic should look for future opportunities to join this free clinic if Onward Bellingham offers it again. June 2023 update I had an incredible session with Alex Benitez and Heather Salzer at Onward Bellingham Physical Therapy today where they applied their Institute for Clinical Excellence training and tools to adjust my bike to fit my body. Changes were made to seat height, seat position (front/back), seat angle, handlebar height, and handlebar angle. I've been riding a bike for 56 years and I've never been professionally fitted to a bike. They have high-tech measurement tools, including laser, to get everything tuned perfectly. The post-fitting ride felt much different and better in every way. Thank you Alex and Heather! March 2024 update I was really struggling with knee pain two months from my first ultramarathon (Chuckanut 50K). I scheduled several sessions with Alex and received excellent PT treatment, load-bearing knee strengthening exercises, training guidance, and also the importance of nutrition during long runs. Alex turned things around for me and I successfully completed the race. Thank you! November 2024 update Suffered a running-related knee injury a couple of months ago. Each time I've felt like I rested enough to resume running, I've reinjured and set myself back to the beginning (or worse). I appreciate Alex's attentiveness to listening to my symptom descriptions and the thoroughness of his evaluations. Alex is guiding me through a conservative return-to-run program that involves knee strengthening exercises, walking, and walk-run sequences.”
