The State’s Best Silver Award 2023 represents a distinguished recognition that reflects continuous pursuit of excellence and innovation in physical therapy. Ascent Total Performance proudly earned this prestigious honor, adding to our extensive collection of awards that establishes us as Columbia, South Carolina’s most recognized physical therapy clinic.
The Significance of The State’s Best Silver Award
The State’s Best Silver Award represents more than recognition—it signifies sustained excellence in clinical care, patient outcomes, and professional innovation. This distinguished honor reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing the field of physical therapy while delivering exceptional results for every patient who walks through our doors.
This award validates our unique approach to physical therapy in Columbia, SC, where every therapist holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and every patient receives one-on-one personalized attention that typical clinics simply cannot provide.
Ashlee L. shares her experience with our award-winning approach: “Ascent is a wonderful PT clinic! My therapist, Katey, has worked closely with me for the past several months on a long-term issue I have, and I have seen great improvements! She has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and responsive as we get to the root of my problem. She explains what she’s doing (or having me do) and why, and she always listens to and honors my perspective on my symptoms.”
Physical Therapy That Earns State Recognition
The State’s Best Silver Award recognizes our continuous innovation in physical therapy treatment and patient care. Our award-winning approach includes:
Advanced Manual Therapy Excellence: Utilizing sophisticated techniques including spinal manipulation and soft tissue mobilization that require extensive post-graduate training and certification.
Dry Needling Specialization: Certified expertise in this advanced technique for pain relief, muscle function improvement, and accelerated healing processes.
Functional Movement Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation using Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to identify and correct movement dysfunctions before they lead to injury.
Specialized Rehabilitation Programs: Golf-specific treatment through Titleist Performance Institute Level 2 Medical certification and personalized blood flow restriction training protocols.
The All-DPT Team Advantage
What sets state award winners apart is the caliber of their clinical team. Every therapist at Ascent Total Performance holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, providing an elevated level of clinical reasoning, assessment skills, and treatment expertise that distinguishes us from typical physical therapy clinics.
This advanced education enables our team to address complex orthopedic conditions through evidence-based approaches that deliver measurable, lasting results for our patients.
Jessica B. experienced this expertise firsthand: “I saw Dr. Floyd for an initial visit today, and for the first time in months I’m feeling hopeful about resolving a longstanding issue with my neck. Thank you.”
