Ascend Physical Therapy is hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in healthcare. Jacob runs a boutique-style practice where you get true one-on-one attention, and it shows in the quality of care. He takes the time to understand what’s actually going on, explains the process, and builds a plan that’s focused on real results, not just quick fixes.
You can tell Jacob genuinely cares about the people he works with and the outcomes they achieve. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in your recovery, Ascend Physical Therapy is the place to go. Highly recommend.

Can’t thank Jacob and the Ascend team enough. In a short period of time, he had pain that had been severely bothering me for weeks nearly gone in just a few sessions. He’s a professional in every sense of the word, and is a no brainer for any PT needs!

Dr Tomlinson is very focused on each client. There is no one size fits all. Because he is independent he is able to give each one a highly individualized plan which is far more effective. I would highly recommend Dr Tomlinson.

I had a consultation with Dr. Tomlinson for my shoulder and knee and left with a lot of great information that I can use between appointments, and it has been so helpful. I like that he explains everything in a way I understand. If you are looking for a PT, look no further.

My husband and I just had dry needling and cupping done with Dr. Jacob. It was a first for both of us and the results after dry needling were instant. Dr. Jacob did a phenomenal job listening and then explaining/showing us daily exercises to do at home to strengthen our muscles and nerves. Great atmosphere, great communication and just all around good people! Go check him out.

We find the real cause, start treatment, and give you a clear plan so you know what to do and how long it will take to feel better.

At ASCEND PHYSICAL THERAPY, we know that you want to push yourself at work, home and in the gym without being held back by pain. In order to do that, you need to move with confidence and strength.

We understand how scary it can be to try to push it after an injury, which is why we customize every exercise to only move you closer to your goals.

FAQ’s
Q: What happens during the first visit?
A : Your first visit is an initial evaluation. We listen. We test. We figure out what’s going on—and more importantly, why. You’ll get one-on-one time with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and receive treatment that same day. We will build a plan around your goals, not just your symptoms.
Q: Do you take my insurance?
A: You can use your insurance; we just don’t bill your insurance directly. This setup lets us work for you and not for a company that’s more interested in denying your claims. The biggest difference? We have your best interest in mind. We care about getting you the results you’re looking for—not whether your insurance company feels like paying today.
Q: What’s the process to get started?
A: It all kicks off with a Discovery Call — just you and a doctor of physical therapy chatting about what’s been bugging you (back pain, shoulder tightness, your CrossFit PRs disappearing… you name it). You’ll walk away from the call with a personalized game plan — whether you decide to work with us or not.
If it’s a good fit and we both feel like we’re onto something, we’ll schedule your first evaluation. That’s where we dive in, hands-on, and start moving you forward. No fluff, no wasted time. Just solutions.
