Ascent Physical Therapy, PLLC

I got results on my physical therapy challenge when I went to Dr Rob that I couldn’t get it anywhere else. I had tried traditional “cookie cutter” PT offices, but they weren’t oriented towards athletes with high expectations and challenging goals. I specifically started looking for a PT that focused on endurance athletes because I had somethings in common with them. Dr Rob’s hands on approach ensured I had a good balance of manipulation to find muscular problems, release them and identify weaknesses that needed to be rectified. His in office and at home exercises are HARD, but as an athlete, they are effective and were incredibly helpful in waking up muscles that were asleep. Additionally, Dr Rob is very curious and welcomed all of my texts and emails where I detailed my status, observations and progress. He welcomed my participation and questions. Bottom line: he promised me results and delivered on what I was hoping to achieve.

I've been to several different PTs over the years to deal with my chronic back and neck pain. Usually they get me over the pain hump, but never help me get back to the activities that are important me. Dr. Rob really cares and understands the needs of endurance athletes. I'm finally back to be able to run pain free and on track to run another NYC Marathon next year. If you are looking to get back to what matters to you, and stop running around from from providers to who don't look at the full picture, go see Dr. Rob to get back to your goals.

After a year of being injured, I finally decided to get help from a PT who was experienced with runners. Dr. Rob was great to work with, created custom workout helps to help address the problem, and had great resources so I was able to continue the work at home. There have been significant improvements and it is a very personalized experience. It goes above and beyond any PT services I had previously experienced.

Dr. Rob got me to the starting line of my marathon with confidence! His hours & availability are convenient & flexible. Staff is always in touch to confirm your appointment and Dr. Rob himself is always accessible via call or text. If you’re dealing with pain or sport-specific injury - Ascent is the place to go.

Dr. Rob is phenomenal! The stretches and other movements that I have learned from him have been incredibly helpful. I am in significant less pain after just a few sessions. I'm hopeful and confident it will continue to improve. I have been living with severe neck and shoulder pain for close to a year now and no matter how many cortisone injections or muscle relaxers I was taking, the pain did not go away. For the first time in a long while, I am feeling hopeful to live a pain-free life, all thanks to Dr. Rob. All thanks for Dr. Rob!!!! thanks so much

In late February 2024, I fell skiing; fracturing my sacrum and T11 vertebrae. At 76 years old this was not without consequences. I was given a brace and told not to bend, twist, reach, or lift anything. I was instructed to use a walker in the house as well as outside. My movements were restricted like this for four months. I was hoping to return to race walk/jogging. But I was scared and concerned that it was not safe for me to resume any intense activities. My friend and neighbor recommended that I try Dr Rob. I went to hear him speak at free event for runners. He was so knowledgeable! I decided that I would invest in my health and sign up with Dr Rob. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I deeply appreciate Rob’s guidance. I feel incredibly fortunate to have extremely little pain. My confidence was restored to get out and move again. Dr Rob has guided me through a few more hurdles this year. I was diagnosed with an 80% tear of my rotator cuff and just a month ago an epigastric hernia. He has helped me to navigate these new challenges. The depth of his knowledge was amazing and comforting as I made decisions. Dr Rob always made me feel like I was his most important client! He tailored my exercises to my exact needs. I am grateful for his caring and exceptional treatment and my ability to return to an active, pain free life!

I’ve been dealing with a reoccurring herniated disk and back problems that have impacted my quality of life for over 25 years. I’ve gone to regular PT at various “factory” PT businesses, and orthopedics for therapy and shots dozens of times. They’ve always stabilized me, but never fully helped me to see a sustainable recovery over time. I always had the issue come back within weeks or months. Dr Rob and his personalized approach is the first person and program that has given me individual attention, created a plan for me, and treated the root cause of my problem. I’ve felt better than I have in years, and even after completing his program, I have stayed with him to continue personal training, and to receive individual attention that will help me with preventing any issue in the future. I highly recommend considering Dr. Rob!

Great experience working with Rob. He was able to build back my strength, along with identifying areas that were contributing to my injury to stop the injury recurring. Been the most consistent in training now thanks to this Improvemnet of the troubled area
