I have MS with a number of physical disabilities. . Ascend PT has helped me with my ability to walk, a major milestone in my treatment and life. with a program I can depend on for many years.
Ascend is a one on one practice. Lisa Ciardi is an experienced, deeply knowledgeable, dedicated therapist. I unconditionally recommend Ascend PT for anyone seeking a welcoming, professional, and supportive PT experience.

I broke my arm in several places requiring a titanium rod to help the healing process. At the beginning of my therapy I was not able to touch my head the loss of motion was so severe. After almost a year working with Lisa my progress has been phenomenal, my range of motion has improved to almost normal. Lisa is a talented, knowledgeable healer who has quite literally helped me regain the use of my right arm. Thank you Lisa & Patty!

Life changing experience. I got rid of my lower back pain due to pregnancy. The therapist Lisa’s diagnosis and treatment was beyond comparison. Shows her passion to help her patients. I’ve changed from a person with sedentary lifestyle into a yoga instructor truly because of Lisa’s advices. Can’t thank enough.

I had problems with a sour/irritated muscle and choose Ascend because of all the great reviews on various plattforms. And I was more than happy. Lisa. the therapist, didn't just take care of my muscle. She cares. She listens closely to what you describe. She is extremely skilled and experienced. Patty, who runs the front desk and helps in the back is well organized and very helpful. It is a healing place where I'll definately will go back. I highly recommend them.

The staff at Ascend Physical Therapy is extremely friendly and professional. They made me feel totally comfortable as we spent time working on my arthritic knees based on a referral from my orthopedic doctor.
And the physical therapy that they did on my knee and the routine that they created for my continuing the knee strengthening at home has changed my life. I did not expect that I would be able to get back to walking as I had before the arthritis was diagnosed and I have. They are an outstanding and well deserved five star office.

Second time around was as good as the first!
Unfortunately I'm here working through another torn rotator cuff. Lisa helped me avoid surgery on my right arm 2 1/2 years ago, and is again working her magic on my left arm in 2018. I can not say enough about this PT practice, Patty who runs the front desk and helps out in the back is friendly and well organized. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with kindness in a very relaxed healing environment. If you are looking for a smaller spot with personalized attention look no further. I'm certain I could not find a better place to get treatment

Lisa Ciardi, the owner of Ascend Physical Therapy is a highly skilled and experienced practitioner. At my first visit two weeks after hip replacement surgery, she assessed my goals and condition and provided me with a program of exercises and therapy. Drawing from a deep well of experience, she intuitively adds the right treatments to enhance your recovery. She is self-assured, attentive, and caring. Best of all, her therapy has really worked for me.
Patty does the administration, and is a capable, friendly assistant. This is a nice place to heal.
