Your Performance, Your Priority: Unmatched One-on-One Care
At Ascension Rehab and Sports Therapy, you matter most. This isn't just a slogan—it's the foundation of everything we do. Unlike many clinics where you might share your therapist's attention with multiple patients or spend most of your time with an assistant, here's what makes us different: every session is one hour long and you're one-on-one with the doctor the whole time.

This personalized, uninterrupted attention means:
Deeper assessments of your movement patterns and injury mechanics
More focused treatment tailored to your specific needs
Faster progress toward your athletic goals
No distractions or divided attention
We specialize exclusively in athletes and active adults across various sports, including:
Baseball and softball players
Golfers seeking better mobility and power
Soccer and lacrosse athletes
Football and basketball competitors
Track, cross country, and swimming athletes
Strength sports and combat sports enthusiasts
We understand the unique demands of your activity because we work with athletes like you every single day. Our mission is to help you not just return to sport, but return better than before, with a strong focus on injury prevention so you can keep doing what you love for years to come.
Precision Coaching and Personalized Plans: Elevating Your Game Beyond the Clinic
Your recovery and performance journey isn't generic, and neither should your plan be. At Ascension Rehab and Sports Therapy, we craft highly customized training plans specific to your sport, injury, and performance objectives. We're not handing you a cookie-cutter exercise sheet—we're designing a roadmap to help you achieve your individual goals.
These personalized plans are delivered directly to you via the cutting-edge TrueCoach application, making it easy to follow your exercises, track your progress, and stay accountable between sessions. No more lost exercise sheets or forgotten instructions. Everything you need is right at your fingertips.
Direct Provider Contact for Continuous Support
Here's where we truly stand apart: you enjoy direct provider contact via text and email for questions, adjustments, and ongoing motivation. Have a question about your exercise form? Text us. Experiencing unexpected soreness? Email us. We're here to ensure consistent progress and provide the support you need, whenever you need it.
Our coaching extends beyond just treating your injury. We focus on:
Optimizing movement patterns for better efficiency
Building sport-specific strength and power
Developing physical resilience for long-term performance
Preparing you fully for the demands of your sport
This holistic approach is what transforms good athletes into great ones.
Direct Access and Transparent Pricing: Your Clear Path to Recovery
Navigating healthcare can be frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. In North Carolina, you have direct access to physical therapy, which means:
No waiting for doctor referrals
No unnecessary delays in starting your recovery
No hoops to jump through
You're in control of your health decisions

This direct access speeds up your return to peak condition and eliminates the frustration of waiting weeks for appointments while your condition worsens or your season passes you by.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
We also believe in transparent pricing. Say goodbye to frustrating surprise medical bills that arrive months after your treatment. At Ascension Rehab and Sports Therapy, you always know exactly what to expect financially before you begin.
While we are out-of-network, we provide comprehensive assistance with superbills for reimbursement, making the process as smooth as possible for you. We'll help you navigate the paperwork so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery and performance. Your energy should go toward getting better, not deciphering confusing medical bills.
Beyond the Session: Your Resource Hub for Ongoing Success
At Ascension Rehab and Sports Therapy, your growth doesn't end when your session does.
We believe in empowering our athletes with knowledge and tools for sustained performance and long-term health. That's why we provide an extensive library of free resources designed to support your journey:
Guides and e-books: Access in-depth information on injury prevention, recovery strategies, and performance enhancement tailored to athletes and active adults
Mobility routines: Follow curated exercises to maintain flexibility and range of motion, crucial for athletic longevity and injury prevention
Podcast: Listen to expert insights, interviews, and practical tips from the comfort of your
home, car, or gym
These resources are part of our dedication to providing ongoing education and support. We want you to have the knowledge and tools to stay healthy and perform at your best, long after your formal treatment concludes. When you understand your body and how it moves, you become an active participant in your own success.
