Services
Physical Rehabilitation
Our physical rehabilitation programs address musculoskeletal injuries and conditions through customized treatment plans. We combine manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and evidence-based techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve functional performance for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders caused by vestibular system issues. We use targeted exercises and maneuvers to improve gaze stability, reduce vertigo symptoms, and enhance overall balance through individualized therapy sessions focused on long-term symptom relief.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Comprehensive care for sports-related injuries incorporating strength training, neuromuscular re-education, and sport-specific drills. Our therapists design return-to-play programs that accelerate recovery while preventing re-injury through progressive therapeutic interventions tailored to each athlete's needs.
Pre/Post-Operative Care
We provide specialized rehabilitation before and after orthopedic surgeries to optimize outcomes. Pre-operative conditioning prepares patients for surgery while post-operative protocols focus on restoring mobility, strength, and functional independence through structured, progressive treatment plans.
Manual Therapy
Certified therapists deliver skilled manual techniques including joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, and myofascial release. These hands-on approaches improve tissue extensibility, reduce pain, and enhance joint mobility as part of comprehensive treatment plans for musculoskeletal conditions.

Questions
What makes Ascend PT different from other clinics?
We provide one-on-one hands-on care with highly specialized practitioners in orthopedics and manual therapy, focusing on personalized treatment plans rather than assembly-line approaches.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
Most Michigan patients need a physician's referral for insurance billing, though limited treatment without a prescription is allowed under state regulations. Contact us for specific guidance.
What should I wear to appointments?
Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement and exercise. Loose shorts and athletic shoes are recommended for lower-body issues, with gowns available for upper-body treatments.
How long are therapy sessions?
Initial evaluations last about an hour, with follow-up treatments typically 45-60 minutes focused on manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and progress assessments.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We bill most insurance companies directly, including out-of-network benefits. Patients are responsible for co-pays or specified percentages at time of service.
How is progress measured during treatment?
Initial comprehensive evaluations establish baseline measurements, with progress tracked through monthly updated assessments documenting improvements in mobility, strength, and functional performance.
