Care that stays personal.
We focus each session on one-on-one, hands-on time, and your physical therapist stays in charge of your plan from start to finish.
About Ascend Physical Therapy and Wellness
The clinic that treats the cause.
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: hands-on, personal care, with a licensed physical therapist leading your plan.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
Dr. Jonathan Tate, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT & Jason Hunt, PT, MPT, OCS, Co-Owners
Ascend is locally owned by two East Texas natives, Dr. Jonathan Tate and Jason Hunt. Both trained at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and both came home to help this community move better, play better, and live better.
Jonathan is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, the highest manual therapy credential recognized by the APTA. He specializes in manual therapy, dry needling, and IASTM, and is Titleist Performance Institute certified. Jason is a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist with over 20 years of outpatient orthopedic experience in East Texas, and a special interest in shoulder rehab and ACL injury prevention.
We specialize in orthopedics with a focus on sports medicine and athletic performance, but with over 30 years of combined physical therapy experience between our therapists, we help with far more than sports. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.
“To provide an atmosphere of healing, trust, and empowerment to achieve optimal health and wellness, while generating results that you can feel.”
What We Believe
Four things we’ll never compromise.
Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.
Plans end. That’s the point.
You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.
You’re not a protocol.
Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.
The Difference
Not your typical clinic.
A typical clinic
- A printout of exercises and a heat pack
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No graduation date, just book again next week
Ascend Physical Therapy and Wellness
- Hands-on care, with your physical therapist directing your plan
- A focus on one-on-one time, with licensed PTAs helping carry out your plan
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one
