100/10 Recommend, Working with Jake on a knee issue I've had for a while where I could barely squat down after a workout was the best decision. Staying active is a huge part of my life, even with crossfit and Strongman competitions I was able to fit the strength and recovery sessions in without a problem. Jake always kept the check ins consistent and had valuable insight as well as made adjustments as needed to effectively improve.

Jake was great! He baselined where I was at at the beginning of rehabbing an injury and identified what my goals were through recovery. Every few weeks we stepped up the activities so I could stay active but safe to avoid reinjury. You can tell he's very knowlegable and really cares about heling out his clients.

Dr. Jake Salaba and his team are the best! I've been able to work through multiple injuries (shoulder, lower back, ACL repair) and get back to confidently doing the things I love thanks to their guidance. My daughters, all competitive gymnasts have seen Dr. Jake for elbow, wrist and back issues. What we love about Ascension is the thorough assessment and ultra personalized programs that focus on strengthening and movement, not restriction and fragility.

Jake at Ascension PT is AMAZING!! His whole team is. I needed a plan to restart my weight lifting life. They figured out where physically I needed to focus, but then created a program that was easly to follow, and left me feeling strong without feeling sore. He knows his stuff and, as physician, I have full confidence to refer my patients to him and his clinic.

Jake is an excellent PT. I have seen him for low back pain, knee pain, and most recently a pinched radial nerve in my arm. All have been resolved and I feel more confident in my capabilities. He is one of the most knowledgeable PTs I have ever seen and is an incredibly trustworthy provider. I tend to be a bit of a skeptic and don’t trust many providers but have never had that hesitation with Jake. I would absolutely recommend him and would go back to him for any future pains.

Max was experienced and knowledgable. He encouraged growth without overworking which was a calibration I often struggled to find on my own. He helped me progress in my fitness and manage my pain while dealing with joint issues and issues with stability.

I am so thankful that we found Ascension PT! My husband and I both have been seeing Jacob for various things and truly it has had such a positive impact on our physical lives. Working with Ascension Physical Therapy has helped me recover from shoulder pain and knee pain. I’m a distance runner and recently started going to a high intensity gym and so learning new movements and helping my body adjust to new exercises and muscle groups has been helpful. I really appreciate the time and attention that they give you to help diagnose what is going on and putting together customized training plans to help keep you active even when still working on recovering. The modifications have been so helpful and I am so glad we have them as a resource whenever things feel off with my body. Truly couldn’t recommend enough! They are so knowledgeable and kind and helpful!

I went to Ascension Physical Therapy and Performance for a shoulder injury and couldn’t be happier with the care I got. Jake was super friendly and made rehab way less stressful than I expected. He really took the time to understand what was going on and came up with a plan that actually worked. I’m back to lifting and moving pain free. Definitely recommend if you’re dealing with an injury!

Was recommended to Ascension PT after experiencing a back strain. Jake and team have been so excellent to work with from the diagnostic to the point where I'm stronger than I was before the strain. The online module coupled with the understanding what equipment I had at home vs the gym made it a flexible program that was easy to follow and keep up with and the feedback given has helped my squat and deadlift form immensely. So thankful for their help and would recommend to anyone!

I’m really glad that I decided to reach out to Jake after my slip and fall. I was concerned about returning to CrossFit because the pain lingered for more than a week. I met with Jake and he assessed my condition and gave me modifications and restrictions so that I could return to the gym. After a few sessions, and a short period of continued modifications, I was back to my normal capacity. Jake was great to work with and I’d recommend Ascension to anyone who experiences an injury.

I can’t say enough about how happy I was to work with Ascension and Dr.Feld. I had significant injuries to my lower back, hip, and ankles from a snowmobile accident. I was barely able to walk my first couple weeks. Through Dr.Felds expertise and therapeutic work outs I was back to work with in a month and back on a snowmobile in 9 months. I wasn’t sure that would even be possible after the accident. Thank you Max for pushing and motivating me everyday.

I've been going to Ascension for almost a year and a half and I cannot recommend the gym and the staff enough. I've work with Dr. Max for over a year to address multiple injuries and it is clear that Dr. Max cares deeply about his clients and his work.
The gym itself is always clean and I've always felt welcome working out there. Jake and Max are always working to improve the gym space, too.
I would highly recommend Ascension for any physical therapy needs!

Ascension Physical Therapy helped me overcome my back pain without surgeries, return to consistent pain free strength training, and restore full mobility. I love their hybrid physical therapy and strength training approach. On top of being an expert physical therapist, Jake is an empathetic, motivating coach and human being! Same goes for the staff. 5/5 stars, I recommend!

After getting traditional PT for my shoulder through a medical model I became more functional with day to day activities. However, I wasn’t able to return back to lifting the way I previously had. A friend recommended Ascension to me to try. Dr. Jake Salaba first made me believe I could see a way forward for myself again with not only some much more individualized PT, but also fully supporting my goal of powerlifting again. As I progressed forward I was transitioned to Dr. Max Feld into a performance model. He is amazing, I’ve since competed and hit PR’s again. The staff at Ascension truly takes the time to get to know you, help you progress through your own barriers, as well as physically help you regain mobility and strength to get back to doing what you love to do. If you feel stuck or hopeless with an injury this is where you need to be. Their knowledge base, collaboration, ability to individualize therapy and programming is second to none.

I will be 83 years old in April. My husband passed in October, 2022. I realized I was alone now & needed to take better care of myself. I approached Jake & asked for help & advice. Jake was very helpful to see what he could do for me. I did not want to drive so Jake put my workouts on my phone. At this time I've done over 300 sessions & feel great! Hope to celebrate quite a few more birthdays. Thank you, Jake!!

I can’t recommend Ascension Physical Therapy enough! After struggling with back and tricep issues, I decided to seek their help, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout my recovery journey. Thanks to their personalized treatment plan and expert guidance, I’m now stronger than ever! My back and tricep feel healthy, and I’m back to doing the activities I love. If you’re looking for effective physical therapy, Ascension is the place to go!

After 2 back to back bad adductor strains, I was worried I wouldn't ever be able to lift heavy without seriously risking injury again. Working with Max helped get me back to where I was prior to hurting myself as well as the confidence and understanding to continue my training into the future. PT felt like normal training, just with an emphasis on working back to being able to load movements without aggravating any injuries. Can't recommend Ascension/ Dr Max enough!

Easily the best injury rehab treatment I have ever received. They are not only the most knowledgeable practitioners I have met, even after multiple rounds through some bigger physical therapy companies, but they are unmatched in their genuine and personable care for every patient. It is hard to put into one review how much impact regaining strength and learning how to lift again is coupled with the confidence they re-instill into you that you can carry on long-term. Getting injured can really put a damper on any person's confidence, and the amount of empowerment that this company exudes onto each of their patients is really inspiring. If I weren't moving, I would 100% continue training here. I truly can't recommend this physical therapy & performance company enough. I personally worked with Max, who provided me with so much confidence in my ability to recover from injury, even though I had lost most of my strength and trust in my ability to lift again. Before Ascension, I was falsely informed I could never squat or deadlift normally again, despite not requiring surgery for my injury. Not only did I regain all my strength from an injury that occurred 4+ years ago thanks to Max and his team, but I am even stronger now. I also have a much deeper level of knowledge and trust in my body's ability to lift weights and move around without hesitation. I would confidently recommend Ascension to anybody looking to improve their strength or recover from a past injury from providers who genuinely care about their patients' well-being and long-term quality of life.

I have worked with Jake on multiple occasions from rehabbing old sports injuries to taking a proacive approach to preventing new ones, and will continue to focus on the latter. Ascension has a team of highly knowledgeable and experienced Dr's and trainers that can tailor an approach to enable you to achieve your health and fitness goals and help you overcome any obstacles that pop up along the way.
I strongly recommend.

I've worked with Dr. Salaba multiple times to help with my injuries, and he's always attentive, knowledgeable, and well-versed not just in his field, but also in CrossFit, bodybuilding, and powerlifting.
One of the things I appreciate most about Dr. Salaba and his team is their encouragement to keep exercising. They collaborate with you to find alternative movements for exercises that may aggravate an injury, which has allowed me to stay active while recovering.
I didn’t just use his services for myself. When I owned a gym for 13 years, Ascension was always my first referral for clients who needed help with injuries. Dr. Salaba and his team worked closely with me and my staff to make sure our clients had proper modifications to stay safe while continuing their workouts. For new clients dealing with injuries outside our expertise, he was an excellent resource to help guide the best course of action.
If you're dealing with an injury, I highly recommend Ascension Physical Therapy and Performance.

Dr. Max is fantastic! I was skeptical about seeing a chiropractor, but after having a concussion from a bike ride, my neck stiffness and subsequent dizziness hadn’t gone away for weeks. I had tried self/partner massage and warm packs with no improvement. I had my first visit with Dr. Max, and we were conservative doing a form of active trigger point manipulation for my neck and shoulder. I left feeling only slightly better, but the next day my pain and dizziness were gone. Two weeks out, I continue to be symptom free. Even though I know everyone’s experience is different, Dr. Max does great work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him with any other musculoskeletal needs. Can’t say enough thanks!

I have been a strength coach for over 25 years and had the opportunity to see Ascension in action last week. They do such a great job incorporating different modalities to fit the clients needs by having various different professionals on staff. I believe this is the best way to ensure that the best form of rehab, prevention and performance benchmarks are set. The staff are great and really seem to work together well. It's a refreshing, whole health-minded model that other facilities would do well to incorporate.

I have had the pleasure of working with Max for a variety of back, hip and knee issues and cannot recommend him enough. I experienced several months of issues, with no improvement, prior to working with Max. After only a couple months working with him, I was operating at close to 100% again, and was far more confident in my ability to recover from future injury. Max was extremely involved throughout the rehab process and has continued to check in with me even as I’ve been healthy again. I was skeptical about pt from past experiences but am very happy with my decision to work with ascension!

I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Max at Ascension. I have had so many old skateboard and work injuries throughout my entire body over the years and they seemed to all catch up to me last year. Through about the last 5/6 months of working with Max and through following the exercises, I have had a massive reduction in pain/lots of muscle development I didn’t really expect or maybe even know I need. I can now finally get back to doing some of the things I love like skateboarding/cycling and have a different sense of wellbeing from when I started. Big thank you to Max and the rest of the staff!

Jacob is very knowledgeable and approachable! Very happy with my results after months from working with Jacob.

I have worked with Ascension through multiple injuries. Jacob, Max and the entire team at Ascension are a pleasure to work with. The facility & equipment is top of the line, the 24/7 access is seamless and makes the process of rehabbing from an injury as easy as possible. I trusted Jacob to help me improve strength/mobility from a lower disc herniation, rebound from a torn Achilles, and most recently worked with Max on a hip flexor issue. The level of programming, professionalism, and genuine help you receive from Ascension is unmatched. I have worked through traditional Physical Therapy from orthopedic centers and while it has its place in the system, it also has glaring issues with getting you back to your previous level of living/fitness. If you are looking for a new approach to Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy, Performance, Strength Training, Ascension is your answer. They have gained a client for life, I'm beyond grateful to have the entire Ascension team as a resource to maintain my fitness and quality of life.

I wasn't crazy about having to pay out of pocket for physical therapy. Ascension was worth it, I had been dealing with shoulder pain for over 5 months and I had gone the route of 'normal' physical therapy and it wasn't working. My coach at BearFitness told me to just go and see Jake at Ascension so I did. I couldn't be happier with the decision, I have been back in the gym working out and moving without any pain in my shoulder for over 2 months. I love the digital platform, I did my therapy on my time and as a busy mom of 3, volunteering and working the digital plan worked for my lifestyle. When I told my colleagues I would do my physical therapy at 4 or 5 am they thought I was 'crazy', however, it's where I could fit into my day. As mothers we often forget about ourselves, as I often remind those around me mothers must fill their cups first before we can give to others. Thank you to Jake and the team at Ascension for working with me and helping me over come obstacles that weren't even related to my physical pain but also my mental wellbeing. I can't recommend this team enough.

I started seeing Jacob Salaba for a bad flare up of chronic low back pain, and my only regret is not seeing him sooner.

I was referred to Dr. Salaba after I develop hip pain. I was about to stop my work out routine because the discomfort was too severe. Once, I came to visit him. He asked me how I hurt myself. I told him that I first felt the pain after mowing the lawn. His next question was; is your backyard in a slope? Of which I replied, Yes! After he heard my answer; He had an idea of what my problem was. Then he proceeded to do a physical examination of the area that confirmed his thoughts. He then pulled his phone, opened an app and showed me a picture of a musculoskeletal diagram that can be strip layer by layer. He then found the tiny little muscle on my hip that was giving me the agonizing pain. What came next was cool. He said that I could continue to work out. He gave me the exercises and stretches needed for the muscle tissue to heal. Within a couples of months, the pain was faintly there but the improvement as felt with in weeks. I strongly recommend Ascencion Physical Therapy. Dr. Salaba is great to work with.

Looking for top quality personalized care to help improve health and wellness tailored to your needs, Jacob Salaba earned my 5 star review.
I have had ongoing neck and shoulder pain. In August 2023 Jake took a personal interest in my road to recovery. He used various techniques and I was starting to see some relief.
I winter in AZ and was concerned that the progress we made would end.
Jake had me covered!
His online website provides me with daily At Home personal training strength and stretching workouts tailored just for me.
This comes with detailed instructions and video’s for each movement to ensure that I am doing the moves correct.
Jake monitors my progress and is responsive to any concerns I may have.
I am now 4 months in and am very pleased with my progress.

I am very grateful for Dr. Jake’s persistence in diagnosing the root cause of some recent debilitating leg pain. He was determined to find the source of my pain, and was able to pinpoint it as my hamstring. I began my physical therapy journey being able to sit for only 15 minutes at a time without feeing miserable, and am now able to sit as long as is needed. I have gained flexibility, strength, and the ability to perform my every day activities pain-free! He has given me a plan which will help me maintain the growth I’ve made. If you’re looking for a physical therapist, look no further. Dr. Jake is the best.
Dr. Max has come alongside me this past year as well. He is not only a wise chiropractor, he is an encouraging coach, as well. He has helped me get over some hurdles this past year and helped me gain confidence in my physical strength capabilities. I am truly grateful.
This team is amazing!

I can't say enough good things about Ascension. I worked with their team through two injuries--one in my shoulder and one in my wrist--and I came out of both injuries with more confidence and strength than I had before.
Movement is important to my physical and mental well-being, so when a wrist injury forced me to take a short break from working out, I felt frustrated and unsure about what was next. I wanted to find a PT team that would be able to formulate a treatment plan for me that rehabbed my injury and still allowed me to push myself and build muscle. I found that team at Ascension--Dr. Jake and Dr. Max took my goals seriously, and provided me with programming that reduced my pain, pushed me physically, and made me a smarter and more conscientious athlete.
The gym itself is great, too--plenty of squat and bench racks, a cable tower, bumper and powerlifting plates, and a number of specialty machines for modifying movements (i.e. a belt squat machine for those struggling with back pain). Everyone is always really welcoming and encouraging; truly one of the best parts of my day whenever I'm there.

I have seen Jake for 3+ years for PT starting with 2 ankle rehabs after surgery and I was so impressed with how quickly I got back to squatting and weight lifting and ultimately back to competing in Strongman, that we started working on other areas that needed improvement. Now I use coaching services and have seen Max for chiropractic care and the entire team is caring and thorough in helping me reach my fitness goals. The team is committed to getting you back to doing what you love and helping you reach the next level. Having a workout plan catered to my rehab needs has been a huge improvement for me over separate PT and coach.

After lifting weights for 15 years and doing a handful of powerlifting meets I have had my fair share of injuries (hip/low back/shoulder) that I have let go untreated. I believed that I could use the internet as my resource to get better, but it only got me so far to manage the issues and not fix and rebuild.
Per my coaches recommendation I met with Jacob at Ascension and I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions I've made for my lifting and general physical health. Jacob laid out a solid game plan on how to get me back to lifting heavy weights and worked alongside my coach in order to come up with programming that fits my needs during the rebuilding process. This was the kind of fine-tuning and direction I could not get from just googling my injuries.
After working with Jacob for the last 9 months I have been able to rehab my hip, low back, and right shoulder with his guidance. As a seasoned weight lifter I highly recommend Ascension PT as it has helped stabilize my lifting foundation and unlock new PR's. Thank you so much for all your help!

I highly recommend Jake + the team at Ascension. I worked with them for 3 months due to back pain. My back pain was when I was lifting and hinging over. I thought I would have to do a plan that would take a lot of time about of my day, but it was an easy 15 minutes before or after my workouts. The app that Jake uses is very easy to follow and Jake has made it a point to stay in contact in many forms throughout working together. I was also adjusted by Max and that was a great experience compared to my other chiro adjustments in the past

Jake is an amazing doctor. He asks questions, he listens and he goes through every detail of the treatment process. He helped me with knee, shoulder and ankle issues.

Jacob is very knowledgable and was able to help me identify and resolve a nagging shoulder injury preventing my mobility for Crossfit WODs. His therapy on my shoulder also cured a chronic neck stiffness issue that I was having. Highly recommend!

Jake is fantastic! Not only did he provide immediate relief for my back and shoulder by using massage, cupping, and dry needling, he also designed an at home exercise plan consisting of individualized and tailored exercises that strengthened those areas as to avoid further injury. He has great knowledge of the body and how it works!!

Jake was a game changer in getting me back to pain free and working out to the best of my potential. I had been suffering from knee pain in both knees for over a year that was progressively getting worse. Reached to one of the owners at Timberwolf Fitness about finding a PT and was recommended to see Jake. Worked with Jake to identify the underlying issue and over the next few months addressed mobility/movement issues and rebuilt the strength around knee. We worked together both in person and remotely with programmed workouts to address my knee issues. I’m back to squatting heavy again and able to do lunges (including weighted lunges) for the first time in over a year. All possible because of Jake’s knowledge and the care he has for each one of his patients. Jake truly cares about each person he works with and has an incredible ability to motivate his patients. Can’t thank you enough Jake!

Jake has helped me through lower and upper back pain, an ankle injury, shin splints, wrist pain, and a strained hamstring. For each injury, he has given me the tools to continue working out during recovery and has left me stronger than I was before the injury. His approach and methods are cutting edge and very effective. His positive attitude, vast knowledge, and effective results are just some of the reasons I highly recommend him.

The staff at Ascension PT went above and beyond all expectations. Jake was extremely knowledgeable and was able to translate what was going on in an understandable way. Not only did he prescribe rehab exercises, but he explained why we are doing them and what impact they will have on the injury/rehab process. The folks at Ascension are a class act and I would recommend them to any and all who are looking for an evaluation and or PT treatment.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience working with Jake. I came in with some chronic injuries and pain. He was thoughtful and thorough with examining my situation and then tailored a plan specifically for me. I have seen great progress, out of pain quickly and building a more solid foundation to avoid injuries in the future. There is no better place you can go.

I cannot recommend Ascension Physical Therapy enough! I have worked with Jake through 2 different injuries over the past year. He is professional and knowledgeable, you can tell he is passionate about his career and cares about his clients. I really appreciated that he took the time to explain everything, made sure that I understood his thought process and our game plan for my recovery. He really exceeded my expectations. With his help I feel like I'm not only recovering from my injuries but improving in my workouts and minimizing weak links.

As I have gotten older, I let myself slip into the myth that aches and pains are normal and unavoidable. Don't lull yourself into believing such nonsense. With Jake's keen knowledge of how the body works, both my husband and I have been able to strengthen muscles we didn't even know had begun to fail and get back to leading better lives. He is patient, upbeat, and works at a reasonable pace to attack the root of the problem. Although he also works with performance athletes, don't be intimidated! He can scale you work to any level, and you are absolutely capable of doing more than you thought possible.
