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.

I cannot recommend Jacob enough! He is an outstanding physical therapist in Hendersonville! I especially appreciated his communication as he discussed the different approaches to knee pain.

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.
