Proven outcomes from active adults who train hard and recover smarter.

I cannot commend Ryan Abarno enough for his expertise and hospitality in our 1 hour session! He was recommended to me by a friend after I decided to begin training for a marathon in a few months. After a couple of intentional questions, we quickly diagnosed the origin of some pain I was feeling and spent the rest of the session walking through different rehab exercises, correcting some imperfections in my running form, and laying a foundation to build off of post appointment. He then sent me a follow up email with a summary of what we talked about, exercises to work on at home, and resources that clearly and concisely walk through the rehabilitation process. I hope I won't need to go back (haha!) but will certainly book him again if I run into any more complications!!

Dr. Ryan is the absolute best physical therapist on the planet (I may be subject to a little hyperbole here, but I have my reasons)! I am a 67 year old powerlifter who came to the sport significantly later in life. When I started working with Dr Ryan, I had knee pain during my squat attempts (and a great deal of fear) and shoulder pain during my bench. Dr. Ryan quickly got to the root of the problem and setup an exercise plan to help. He also worked with my trainer Erin Elise of SNS Barbell for a seamless program. And in just 10 weeks it all worked. I can squat to depth with no knee pain and bench pain free. But, the real measure of success is that I just competed in a full power meet where I posted my best numbers ever on squat, bench and deadlift. I also won my division. Now that is progress. Dr. Ryan is funny, positive, kind and thoughtful. He has the determination to diagnose the problem and the subject matter expertise to create an effective plan. Thank you Dr. Ryan for everything.

For roughly 3-4 months (I think), I could not squat or deadlift because of a pain I thought was in my glute/leg. When I came in for my first meeting with Ryan, he did a few test and quickly found out it was an injured disk in my lumbar spine. Within less than 2 months Ive been able to squat over 300 again and deadlift over 300 again for reps, pain free. He has also done some needling work that has helped me alot with part of my rehab. I will definitely be coming back to get work done!

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from people near South Park considering PT at Ascension Rehab.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in North Carolina?

No. North Carolina law allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your first visit without a doctor's referral. If your insurance plan needs a referral for out-of-network reimbursement, we'll help you coordinate that after your assessment.

How long are sessions, and how often will I need to come in?

Sessions are individualized based on your needs and goals. Most people start with one or two visits per week, then scale back as they progress. We design your schedule around your training and real life, not arbitrary timelines.

Do I have to stop training while working with you?

Not usually. We believe smart training supports recovery for most injuries. We'll help you adjust loads or movements as needed, but our goal is to keep you active and building capacity while you heal.

What makes this different from other PT clinics near South Park?

We prioritize long-term durability over quick fixes. Our plans combine hands-on care, progressive strength work, and recovery strategies that help you stay strong and active for years, not just until the pain goes away.

What should I wear to my evaluation?

Dress like you're going to the gym. Athletic shorts or leggings and a shirt work best. Runners should bring their current shoes, and anyone working on lifting issues should be ready to demonstrate key movements so we can assess mechanics.
