"RISING TO NEW LEVELS OF EXPERTISE"
What is the Ascent Physical Therapy difference?
We are committed to meeting the needs of our patients by continually improving our
knowledge, competence and performance. We travel to some of the most distinguished
national and international conferences and belong to organizations devoted to advanced
clinical practices and research to enable optimal provision of care. Such conferences include
The World Congress of Low Back and Pelvic Pain held in Montreal, Canada and Barcelona,
Spain; the Australian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Groups Biennial Conference in Sydney; the
International Movement Dysfunction Conference held in Edinburgh, Scotland; and the annual
conferences of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists.
At Ascent Physical Therapy, we strive to be a center of excellence by applying the latest
research and science to our clinical practice. Our devotion and passion is to provide the highest
quality of physical therapy care available. By providing one-on one care for all our clients, we
are better able to link the science behind biomechanics, neurophysiology, and the bio-
psychosocial influences to their movement and pain. This approach has led Ascent Physical
Therapy in being recognized as the leading health care center in the assessment and
management of neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction.
We view the body as a scale, with dysfunction on one side and compensation on the
other. When dysfunction outweighs the body's ability to compensate, the scale is tipped
toward that person's threshold for developing symptoms, i.e. pain. It is our job as physical
therapists to balance the scale by increasing the body's potential to compensate while treating
the cause of the dysfunction responsible for the compensations, moving the scale away from
their symptom threshold.
At Ascent our objective is to empower our patients to participate in their own care and
to promote cost effective prevention and treatment. The result of this approach is a
personalized, rewarding, and educational experience for each of our patients. You can be
assured that we have the patient's best interest in mind. Proper rehabilitation requires treating
the whole patient; mentally, physically and emotionally. This is the Ascent Physical Therapy
difference!
