Plantar Fasciitis
Primary Care
Urinary Incontinence
After the birth of her 2 children, she developed an intuitive interest in women’s health issues. Since that time, she has trained with the world’s leading experts in women’s health physical therapy, and is now specializing in treating diagnoses ranging from pre and postpartum care and urinary incontinence to pelvic pain syndromes.

Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain, while again more prominent in women, can also affect men. While the origin of the pain may stem from diagnoses such as chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, levator ani syndrome, or pudendal nerve entrapment, secondary musculoskeletal issues may provoke symptoms. By performing a thorough assessment of the nervous and muscular systems involved with the pelvis, therapists at Ascent can make physical and biomechanical changes to decrease pain provoking dysfunction as the patient is taught new biomechanical patterns.
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Pregnancy, labor, and delivery create many changes in a woman’s body – some slowly over several months, and some acutely due to trauma during labor and delivery. Every woman who goes through this amazing process changes the way they use their muscle system to stabilize the lumbopelvic region and transfer loads through their bodies. Ascent Physical Therapy’s Women’s Health program is designed to identify the non-optimal stability and movement patterns specific to pre and postpartum women, then promote and restore optimal form and function of the lumbopelvic region through education, exercise and changing movement patterns.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging has proven to be a useful biofeedback tool for reprogramming the brain or re-establishing proper activation patterns of muscle contractions during both individual exercises and functional tasks. It is particularly useful for the muscles of the abdominal wall and the pelvic floor. Restoring the optimal sequence and pattern of activation of the muscles around the trunk and pelvis is called core training. The local stabilizers of the body, or pre-movement muscles, activate prior to the larger global muscles. They are typically very small and lie deep under the skin and surround a single joint in our body. Their job is to control and protect movement at that joint while the larger global muscles create and control movement upon the joint. It is essential that the local muscles activate prior to and sufficiently enough to protect and guard the joint while the global muscles are directing forces and stress through it. Once this protective pattern of muscle activation has been established, smooth and efficient movement can occur. If this pattern is disrupted at all due to an injury, pain, fear of pain, or stress, alternate and less efficient patterns of muscle recruitment are created. This can leave the joints of the body susceptible to being overloaded and unprotected as well as general tightness and “knots” in the global muscles of the body which are now trying to protect the joints and move us at the same time.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Jon Sherwood joined Ascent Physical Therapy in April of 2016. His history with Ascent Physical Therapy owners Kevin and Tammie Bigley dates back to the early 90’s when they met at Seargent College of Allied Health Professions at Boston University where the 3 of them earned their Master of Science in Physical Therapy degrees. Prior to Boston, Jon attended the University of California Berkeley and graduated with a BA in Physical Education while also playing football with the Bears. He then went on to receive his masters degree in Physical Education & Exercise Physiology at California State University, Chico before moving to Boston. Jon’s work experience has primarily been out west working in a variety of outpatient orthopedic clinics in Casper, WY, Billings, MT, and the Bay Area. He continues to work as a consultant for program development for UCSF’s RunSafe program, a physical therapy consultant for UC Berkeley sports medicine department, and acting team physical therapists for America’s Cup Challenger Professional Sailing Team Artemis Racing.

Tennis Elbow

Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
Nancy Davison became an associate at Ascent Physical Therapy in February of 2011. Before joining us, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology at Wartburg College in Waverly, IA in 1993. She then went on to complete her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Iowa in 1997. While living in Iowa and Wisconsin, Nancy worked in various physical therapy settings including acute care/trauma center, skilled nursing facilities, aquatic therapy, as well as outpatient clinics. She moved to Carson City with her family in 2004 and began focusing on outpatient orthopedics.
Manual Therapy
Our therapists have been trained in a variety of proven manual therapy techniques that improve muscle activation and timing for better overall mobility and function.

Achilles Tendonitis
Plantar Fasciitis
If you continue to use non-optimal strategies, such as inappropriate core strengthening exercises, while an underlying deep core muscle deficit is present, you will end up reinforcing the non-optimal pattern. Over time this can lead to tissue break down, pain or an inability to function at the level you used to. For some, the clue that their body isn’t working well is the onset of low back pain. For others, the pain can be remote such as knee pain, plantar fasciitis or perhaps shoulder pain; everything ultimately connects to your core!
