PT at Moving Forward Physical Therapy in Big Stone Gap, VA

🏈 Isaiah Barnette 💪🏻
⭐️ PT Highlight ⭐️

1. My experience at Moving Forward Physical Therapy was great. All of the staff was super friendly.

2. Working with Coach Kennedy was great. He was able to help me recover as quickly as possible while still having a great time talking about sports.

3. Coach Kennedy and the rest of the Moving Forward staff were very helpful and able to get me back to being healthy and lifting again in time for football.

‼️SWVA athletes, not every labral tear requires surgery, but every injury deserves the right plan. Isaiah trusted the rehab process, put in the work, and was able to recover with conservative treatment, getting back to the weight room and preparing for football without missing his goals. As both his physical therapist and one of his coaches, it’s been awesome to watch his commitment pay off. If you’re dealing with an injury, don’t wait, come to Moving Forward and let us help you get back to performing at your best. 🏈💪🏼🔥

🏈 Braxton Freeman💪🏻
⭐️ PT Highlight ⭐️

1. My experience at Moving Forward was great, and everyone there made me feel welcome.

2. Coach K was great. He understood what I needed to do, and it helped me get back on the field better than ever.

3. Everyone on the staff was super kind and would help with whatever I needed to get me healthy again.

‼️SWVA athletes, a SLAP repair is no small obstacle, but with consistency, hard work, and trusting the process, you can get back to doing what you love. After months of rehab, Braxton has officially been cleared for his senior football season, and I couldn’t be more excited to see him back on Friday nights. As both his physical therapist and his position coach, it’s been rewarding to watch his dedication pay off. Now it’s time to go make the most of that senior year. 🏈💪🏼🔥

Before we kick off our “Meet the Team” spotlights, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the individuals who started it all. As our team has grown and we’ve welcomed new staff members, it’s only fitting to first introduce the founders of Moving Forward Physical Therapy: Margaret, Josh, and Vanessa.

Their vision, dedication, and passion for serving our community laid the foundation for everything we do today.

Established in 2014, Moving Forward Physical Therapy, Inc. was established by three dedicated Physical Therapists with a shared mission: to deliver exceptional orthopedic physical therapy and sports rehab services to our friends, neighbors, and residents of Lee County, as well as the surrounding area.

✨ Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we spotlight each member of our team, share their stories, and help you get to know the people who are committed to serving our community and helping you move forward.

Big things happening at Moving Forward Physical Therapy. 💪🔥

Josh and I recently became Certified Sportsmetrics Specialists, and we’re excited to bring this evidence-based ACL injury prevention and performance program to the athletes of Southwest Virginia.

This program is designed to help athletes:
🏃 Improve speed, agility, and explosiveness
🦵 Develop safer jump-landing and cutting mechanics
⚽ Reduce ACL injury risk
🏀 Build confidence and movement control in sport-specific situations

As someone who grew up around sports in SWVA, being able to bring opportunities like this back to our area means a lot to me. Our goal is not only to help athletes recover from injuries, but to help prevent them before they happen.

We’re looking forward to getting this started in June 2026 and continuing to grow sports performance and sports medicine opportunities in our community.

🎓 Congratulations to all of the seniors across Southwest Virginia graduating this weekend! 🎓

This area produces some special people. There’s something different about kids from SWVA, the grit, toughness, humility, and work ethic built here are hard to match. No matter where life takes you next, take pride in where you came from and carry that mentality with you.

Thank you to all of the athletes, students, and families who have trusted Moving Forward Physical Therapy along the way. Being even a small part of your journey is something we never take for granted.

We are proud of every senior stepping into their next chapter. Keep working hard, stay grounded, and represent SWVA well. The best is still ahead, and in everything trust in God. ☝🏻

⚾️ Trace Marshall 🐺
⭐️ PT Highlight ⭐️

1. It was very good. Everyone was nice and willing to help me get better.

2. Great, he knows what works best for your injury and is very kind and understanding.

3. They helped me gain strength and confidence back, being able to feel like myself while playing sports.

‼️SWVA athletes — when you’re willing to make the drive, you’re serious about getting better. Trace made the trip from Rose Ridge-Dickenson County, Ridgeview High School and put in the work to get back to the field at peak performance. And if you ask him, he’ll tell you — the drive was worth it.

When injuries happen, don’t settle for average. Come to Moving Forward and let us help you get back to playing with confidence ⚾️💪🏼🔥

Thank you for all the support and for helping get this page to 700 followers. I truly appreciate every share, every comment, every referral, and every athlete and patient who walks through our doors. ☝🏻

It’s a blessing to be able to serve the people of this area — the same community that helped build me into who I am today. SWVA raised me, shaped me, and gave me opportunities. Being able to give back through physical therapy means more than I can put into words. 🏔️🤝🏻

We are working on a lot of things at Moving Forward to better serve Southwest Virginia. Big things ahead.‼️🔜

If you believe in what we’re building, share this post and help us continue reaching more people across SWVA. 📲☑️

Grateful for every one of you. 🙌🏻
