Casie Brownlee

I was referred to Dr. Ryan Copley by an athlete and felt like I would be in good hands for shoulder and hip pain that I had let go on too long. I was definitely not let down. The extensive knowledge and multiple modalities used to address both of my issue was impressive. The attention Dr. Copley gave to outstanding patient care, thorough explanation of treatment plans, and personalized home program are just a few additional positive elements experienced at this practice. I would recommend Ascent Physical Therapy and Performance for any of your Physical Therapy needs. – Casie Brownlee

Dr. Copley performed an evaluation, determined the cause of my symptoms, and formulated a therapy plan. He was professional, friendly, hands-on, and encouraging. He showed me why my back was going out and the proper exercises and every-day-living techniques to prevent it. And when I started improving I knew that Dr. Copley knew his stuff. Today, I enjoy a host of activities from cycling to jiu-jitsu, all of which were unthinkable before meeting with Dr. Copley. In short, I told him: You Changed My Life! – Bill Atkinson
