Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate Ascend Physical Therapy, a leader in outpatient physical therapy since its founding as Southshore Physical Therapy in 1981. It is with great enthusiasm that I highlight the opening of their newest location in North Tonawanda, New York. This expansion continues the practice's four decade tradition of providing exceptional, one-on-one manual therapy services to communities across Western New York. Founded with a commitment to patient-centered care, the practice rebranded as Ascend Physical Therapy in 2007, reflecting its dedication to progressive, evidence-based treatments. The new office will bring Ascend's renowned hands-on therapeutic approach to the City of North Tonawanda, New York. Dr. Bernard J. Ryan, owner of Ascend Physical Therapy and a distinguished alumnus of D'Youville University, brings over twenty years of experience and a history of proven success. His dedication is a reflection of the organization's commitment to providing personalized, effective care for every patient. Dr. Ryan is joined by Dr. Ryan Conti, a skilled physical therapist and graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, who has been an integral member of the Ascend team for over a decade. Together, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Conti have combined their expertise to guide individuals in achieving their health and wellness goal, ensuring the continuation of Ascend's commitment to exceptional care. Today, we celebrate the ongoing success and growth of Ascend Physical Therapy and their steadfast commitment to empowering patients across Western New York. With the increasing need for quality physical therapy services, Ascend remains at the forefront of innovation and expansion, continually adapting to meet the needs of our community. I congratulate Ascend Physical Therapy as they continue to provide exceptional care and contribute to the well-being of our region. ____________________
