What Charlotte Clients Are Saying

We help active adults in Charlotte train smarter, recover better, and build confidence in their bodies.

Ryan is helping me navigate some issues with my right knee. I compete in powerlifting and it is affecting my squat and depth. With monthly appointments and adding in additional mobility work, my knee continues to improve. He has continued to guide me on form and bracing. Looking forward to being back on the platform in June 2026.
Jennifer Bachner
I am a very active person and have suffered injuries, like most people have. Before I came to Ascension I was dealing with constant lower back issues and foot numbness when running. After working with Dr. Ryan over the course of several weeks I have enhanced mobility, almost no back issues and am beginning to regain control of my longstanding foot/ankle numbness. I appreciate how Dr. Ryan always takes the time to listen to old and new issues and address them patiently and thoroughly even if they are not necessarily related to the original treatment. I 100% recommend Ascension to anyone who has some physical issues and ready to put in the work to get better.

I’ve been working with Ryan A. for over a year with assistance and coaching within the sport of Powerlifting. I would highly recommend his services as he has helped me to rehabilitate reoccurring injuries that have hindered progress. We have successfully teamed together to have my last two competitions result in peak performances that were most importantly injury free. Ryan is extremely clear, patient, responsive and provides education behind his methodology of programming and rehab / pain management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from people in Charlotte considering physical therapy at Ascension Rehab.

Do I have to stop training while working with you?

Not usually. We build plans around your training schedule and help you modify volume or intensity as needed while you rebuild capacity. Many people continue training with adjustments during their first few visits.

How is this different from typical physical therapy?

We focus on performance, not just pain relief. Our approach combines hands-on care, progressive strength work, and load management to help you stay active long-term, not just get out of pain temporarily.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit is an assessment. We'll review your history, test your movement and strength, and build an individualized plan around your training and goals. You'll leave with clarity on what's limiting you and how to progress.

How long does physical therapy take?

It depends on your situation and goals. We focus on building durable capacity over time, not quick fixes. Most people notice improvements within a few weeks, and plans are adjusted based on ongoing reassessment.

Do you accept insurance?

Please contact the clinic directly at (980) 385-5192 to discuss payment options and insurance questions. We're happy to answer any questions about how we work with your coverage.

Still have questions?

Whether you're dealing with recurring setbacks or just want to train smarter, we'll help you get clear on what's holding you back.
