The clinic that treats the cause.

Dr. Dan Benson broke his back skiing in 2005. Six months later, he was skiing again in New Zealand: an experience that turned into a lifelong pursuit of the sports he loves, from soccer and golf to trail running, triathlons, and even barefoot water-skiing.

He’s advanced-certified through the Gray Institute (FAFS, CAFS, 3D MAPS, GPS, Female Chain Reaction, Foot-Ankle, Active Aging, and Functional Yoga) and in Functional Range Conditioning (FRC). He’s an active member of the APTA and its Washington and Montana chapters, and he’s licensed to practice physical therapy in both states.

Forefront is a family business: his wife Anna is an RN at UW Medical Center, and together they’re raising two kids, Caden and Aurelia. Dan stays active in the Seattle sports community, from screenings for the Green Lake Running Group to Seattle Dance Medicine and the Seattle Pediatric Sports Medicine Group. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.

“My goal is to make this world as good a place as possible by helping those I am fortunate enough to come to know: family, friends, patients, and anyone else I’m lucky enough to meet. It’s a privilege to use my expertise in human movement, empathy, encouragement, and kindness to guide people back to pain-free movement and a more enjoyable life.”
