Custom Prescriptive Physical Therapy to relieve your pain and increase your health
Why Work With Ascend PT
Our 5 Step Framework
Step 1: Go through an in depth interview so you feel heard
We will ask questions about your past medical history, surgical history, current meds, and other health related questions that will give us a clear idea of what you’re going through.
Step 2: We take you through our signature Ascend Assessment™
The Ascend Assessment™ will take you through our custom mobility and strength screens to understand exactly where your body’s baseline is. We don’t assess a single joint or muscle, we focus on the whole body. Our signature assessment will tell us exactly what makes your pain better or worse.
Step 3: We collaborate with you to develop a tailored rehab plan
Based off our signature assessment, you’ll receive a custom plan with effective exercises that will address your pain and limitations immediately. You’ll leave your evaluation with a clear understanding of your musculoskeletal issues and an actionable plan for improvement.
90% of our patients report feeling relief within one session.
Step 4: You’ll get unparalleled support and guidance through the Ascend App
We scale your exercise program weekly via our custom virtual app so that you are getting closer to your goals without guessing on your own. You’ll have access to your therapist in between sessions to help you troubleshoot any problems that come up within the same app.
Step 5: Return to your goals and optimize your health/performance
We take you through the most in depth return to sport assessment to ensure your are in the best position to return to your goals. Our team will typically work with our patients on an ongoing basis afterwards to continue to improve their health and performance. We believe taking care of your body should be proactive rather than reactive so you can perform at your highest level for years to come.

FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got answers to the most common ones our patients ask.
-
Nope! In most cases, you can see a physical therapist directly without a referral. If your insurance requires one, we’ll guide you through the process.
-
Ascend PT is an out-of-network physical therapy practice. That means we are free of insurance contract restrictions and can provide fully personalized care. While we do not bill insurance directly, here’s how it works:
You can still submit claims to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.
We accept HSA / FSA cards for payment.
Payment is due at the time of service.
We provide superbills / itemized receipts you can submit to your insurance company.
If your insurance requires a referral (e.g. Medicare), we can still work with that.
If you’d like help understanding your coverage or how reimbursement works, just ask us — we’ll guide you through it.
-
We provide 1-on-1 care with a doctor of physical therapy—no cookie-cutter exercises or being passed off to aides. Every session is tailored to your goals, whether that’s running pain-free, recovering from surgery, or improving performance.
-
Comfortable athletic wear you can move in—think shorts, leggings, or a t-shirt. This allows us to assess your movement properly and get hands-on when needed.
-
Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan and goals.
-
It depends on your condition and goals. Some people improve in just a few visits, while others benefit from a structured program over several weeks. We’ll give you a clear plan after your initial evaluation.
-
Absolutely. PT isn’t only for recovery—it’s also about injury prevention, performance, and keeping your body moving at its best.
-
Yes! Every client receives a personalized home program that’s updated as you progress. These exercises keep you moving forward between sessions.
-
Yes—but smarter. We’ll help you adjust your training so you stay active without making your injury worse.
-
Not at all. While we love working with athletes, we also help everyday people—desk workers, parents, weekend warriors—move better and live pain-free.
But don’t just take our word for it—hear directly from the people we’ve helped get back to doing what they love.
-
Definitely. We look at the whole body—strength, mobility, and even nervous system health. Many clients find PT reduces their stress, improves posture, and helps them feel stronger in daily life.
