What makes your experience at Ascent Physical Therapy Specialists Inc.different form other clinics you have experienced? Krishnan is excellent at evaluating exact problem and setting up a plan for my specific issue. He explained why I am in the pain I am in so I know what to focus on as well. He also took his time to learn a lot about me - what I do and how my daily routines affect my health issue.

This was my 6th PT office in the last 8 years or so, and I won't go anywhere else if I have further needs. I had a Pandora's box of problems that needed holistic treatment. Multiple, long-term pain points were closely analyzed and some unique therapy worked out all of my issues. Dr. Krishnan is exceptional and helped me identify an additional problem for concurrent treatment to achieve full success. Dr. Grix is also exceptional - the two make an excellent team; different approaches but seamless results. Alternating between both of them helped move my healing along faster. Staff are amazing (shout

I just love the entire staff at Ascent... they work together as a team and their passion shows in their work! I love that they are hands on with their patients... unlike other clinics i have been to. Each therapist has their own methods of therapy and treatment but it works great as they individualize to each patients specific therapy needs. I highly would recommend them to all my family and friends!!!

I have been a patient of Ascent PT 3 different times. Twice for my lower back and currently for a a badly broken shoulder that I hurt while snow skiing. I’ve utilized the services of both therapists and while their techniques vary slightly, they are both very knowledgeable and excel at what they do. Theirs is a hands on approach individualized by each patient. They are both compassionate, gentle, but definitely push me to my limits. I intend to be using my arm good as new thanks to their help and support.

My own experience is when I call to make a appointment to schedule my PT a young lady that answer the phone she was nice and polite about it. And when I arrive there on my schedule date they were so friendly and that's kind of hard to find in people but I will recommend my friends and family to come there for PT.

When I first went to Ascent and Shankar I was a complete physical wreck. I was barely mobile, meds didn't work, the pain level was off the charts and was severely unhappy. I desperately needed help. Ascent (Shankar) worked with me for 5 weeks and left me in so much better shape and a handful of exercises. After two+ weeks on my own, doing the exercises everyday, I am now nearly healed.
I believe Shankar and his staff saved my future. My the way, the staff there is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I was very impressed by the future plans and educational efforts of the younger staff.

Visited here 6 years ago for a 25 year old history of hip/glute issues. Dr Shankar said I would not be back if I kept up my simple 15 minute routine. He was right! I was freed of a lot of pain! Now I am back but it is for a different issue in my neck/shoulder. The staff is always so positive and kind. Very caring atmosphere where you get well and learn how to keep yourself well. I will miss them when I graduate to self care alone!

Afraid the PT will be a bunch of watanabe drill sergeants pushing you to the limit, feeling pain the day after and all at a time that's incredibly disruptive to your daily routine? Well, that nightmare, is NOT EVEN CLOSE the experience you'll have at Ascent Physical Therapy. Here, doctors treat the patients directly, they assess more than the issue that brought you to them, ensuring if other aspects of your body are out of balance, they treat those too. For me, my back pain had me over compensating and created a hip issue too. I have treatments 2x a week (45-60 min), I felt immediate improvement

Shankar and his team do an outstanding job. Shankar has a profound understanding of the human body and the healing process. He has helped me and members of my family recover from various injuries. He not only addresses the injury, but also provides an exercise plan to ensure the underlying causes of the injury are addressed. He is a kind and caring person, and genuinely cares for the well being of his patients. I feel fortunate to have met him and am most appreciative for the care he provided. I am now able to enjoy a physically active lifestyle, in large part due to his care. If you are in need
