“I have been an active, outdoorsman and athlete all of my life. I work out 5-6 days a week and have since I was a teenager. I had never had a serious injury until this year. In early summer I injured my low back and hip doing heavy bent over barbell rows. I could barely take a step with my right foot and could not sit for more than 5minuteswithoutstabbingpains inmy lowbackarea.Obviously, Icouldno longer go to the gym or do any physical work. The summer steelhead fly fishing I had always anticipated was not going to be possible. In desperation, I sought out an acupuncturistandachiropractorweekly throughJulyandAugustof2018,without receivinganaccurateevaluation,orseeinganymeaningfulprogress.At thatpoint I was very discouraged and was losing hope of ever regaining my former physical skills and lifestyle. When I called Ascent, I was deeply discouraged about my ability to ever recover. I was half expecting more of the same disappointing diagnosis and “care.” Man, was I ever wrong! From the moment I called,Taylor’s deliberate, encouraging, and gentlemanner,on thephone,helpedme feel that Iwouldbe listened to,understood and well taken care of. I was able to make an appointment for the following day. I was, again, hopeful! When I arrived at the clinic for my first visit, Dr. Rice immediately made me feel welcomeandunderstood.Heaskedallthequestions I’dwishedthepreviousdoctors had asked, and many I didn’t anticipate. He listened thoughtfully with a smile of confidence that Iverymuchneeded toseeat thatpoint.He thenprovidedmewith the thoroughandaccurateevaluation that Isought. Iwasenthused.Hehelpedme understand what had happened to me and what we could do to heal my injury. We immediately began a regimen of exercises and activities, in the clinic, along with added homework, which I most appreciated. Dr. Rice’s enthusiastic manner and broad knowledge helped me feel optimistic throughout the process. I learned froma trueprofessional,whathadcausedmy injury,what Icoulddo to rehabilitate myself and what ongoing things I needed to do to prevent a future injury.This has been one of the very best “medical” experiences I have ever had.

“Spring break has come and gone, and with it comes a change in the weather! As the days grow longer, and warmer, we find ourselves outside more often. For our family that means more time outside. Some of it is more mundane, like salvaging our yard from the winter months; but also lots of soccer, trips to the beach, and plenty of hikes. In fact, we just took our first trip to the beach over the weekend, it was an amazing day! What does your Spring have in store for you?” - Patrick
