Pivot PT - Asheville

Fantastic experience: Tyler is hands down the best PT I have ever worked with. She was able to get results right away for me. An absolute pro and really good at what she does. I highly recommend her. Front office is efficient and professional and was able to generate custom bills to appease my insurance. Great experience all around.

Fantastic experience: I have experienced the best physical therapy at Pivot PT. Their one on one personal approach to my rehabilitation has made all the difference.

Fantastic experience: Michael and Amira are professional and meet you where you at instead of cookie cutter exercises

Fantastic experience: I have been very much helped by PT at Pivot where the therapists I have worked with are excellent. They helped me prior to and post hip replacement surgery. They push you to stretch but not beyond what you can do at a given point. I highly recommend Pivot, especially Annette and Michael, the therapists I work with.

Fantastic experience: Excellent care, very attentive, and individual focused. Therapists are very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Pivot PT in Asheville is clean with all the best physical therapy equipment. The staff is experienced, friendly, and very knowledgeable. You won't be disappointed. Your health is their major concern and they don't keep you waiting.

Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable

Fantastic experience: I am impressed with Pivot Asheville. My therapists are Michael Abbas and Michael Hynson.I get individual attention in a private room for most exercises. They listen. Communication is very good. They give me exercises that I can tolerate well. I have a good home program. They will help me get ready for knee surgery in the near future. This is an excellent place.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and very professional staff who make you feel comfortable while you are there and prepare you to continue your efforts to improve in between sessions.

Fantastic experience: The PTs there are engaging, good listeners and really good body detective work and restoration. I've had Mike, Mike and Amira. They have been expert at *expanding* my comfort zone as I recover from neck issues. Because of their work with me, I am healing and restoring strength, flexibility and absence of pain. I've gone from a 7-8 pain to a 2-3 in two weeks. Ten years ago they helped me with my lower back and gave me exercises and stretches to do and I have had NO RECURRENCE of those issues. I went from a 9-10 in pain to a 4 very quickly and am now at a 1 with a 3 on my worst days.

Fantastic experience: Michael and Tyler are exceptional practitioners. They take the time to really listen to your symptoms and try different modalities to offer solutions.

Fantastic experience: Best PT I’ve experienced, they keep me moving!

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Michael Abbas a few years ago on a different injury and after fracturing my ankle 2 mos ago, I was happy to see that we were working together again! He is personable, kind and explains things. I highly recommend Pivot and Michael! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the quality of care provided along with the caring attitude of the staff. They are great to work with and take time to explain the how and why of what they are asking you to do.

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is great - literally everyone I’ve interacted with has been professional, kind, and competent. I’ve been to several PT offices in the last 12 months and this is my favorite by far.

Fantastic experience: I have confidence that the therapist will help me strengthen my right sacrum area as he showed immediate understanding of the weakness I described . It has been a slight problem for years and I tolerated it. Not a good idea as a fall or bone fracture would be worse. I am looking forward to the 2nd visit.

Fantastic experience: Donald is extremely knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal system, and very good at what he does. One dry needling session pretty much cleared up my shoulder pain from a 2 year old MTB injury.

Fantastic experience: The therapist very carefully explained what a torn rotator cuff was, and what the likely future would look like! There were two options: exercise or surgery! Both involve long physical therapy involving exercise to restore muscles or strengthen the muscles in place. The therapist taught me exercises to do for strengthening and I’m getting better every day! While surgery is still an option, I’m becoming convinced that exercise alone may do just fine! This isn’t an easy fix, but surgery isn’t either! Both require work on my part! It’s fun seeing small improvements every week, though. First rate information from all involved! Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: Amira's nuanced assessment and treatment are helping me straighten out 16 years of back issues.

Fantastic experience: Amazing front desk girls and my therapist really helped with my whiplash from car accident.

Fantastic experience: Pivot Physical Therapy has been nothing but caring, polite, and supportive during my sessions. The front line staff has always been friendly and helpful and both therapists that I've seen are super thorough and experienced. I see Amira the most and I can't say enough positive things about her! She welcomes you with a smile, listens to all of your updates and concerns, physically attends to your pressing issues, and then develops a plan with you for your at home work.

Fantastic experience: Very pleased. Second visit and exercises/stretches are already helping!!

Fantastic experience: My primary referred me to Pivot because I was having excruciating pains in my right hip and my back. My PTA, Michael Abbas, said that I have arthritis in my hips. X-rays confirmed this. I have since had hip replacement surgery and am now back at Pivot for post surgery therapy. The whole crew - Annette, Michael, Mike and Jodie are the best !!!!

Fantastic experience: The staff and therapists at PIVOT are top notch. Very caring and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: I have worked extensively with the folks at Pivot when I had a humoral fracture of my right (dominant) arm and then again when I had some weird sciatic nerve pain in my lower left leg. Michael Root worked with me for several months using massage and arm exercises and got me back to a normal active life again. He and Donald Brown performed another "miracle" when they were able to totally rid me of my sciatic nerve pain through massage, dry needling, and manipulation. I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding care I have received at Pivot, from the great trainers who know what they are doing to the wonderful support staff (Jody and Christina) who greet you at the door and take care of the business end of care!

Fantastic experience: Cristina Monaghan here... I came to Pivot P.T. back in March 2020, with a surgically repaired, full thickness, stage 3, right RTC work related injury, supra and infra tendons involved. This injury was going to take some time....I've been having regular P.T. appointments at this location since March. Mike Root did my initial evaluation, after that, Mike Root and Mike Abbas both helped to get me back to the range of motion I am usually accustom to. I'm hyper mobile, and I was not sure this was even going to happen at first. I had a therapy session with Anette Dupont, she is also well versed. Having been a P.T. Tech myself, for six of my fifty-five years, having a decent fund of knowledge regarding Physical Therapy, as well as a wealth of fascination with interior anatomy, it was as though we all spoke the same language. These people know their P.T. They continued to challenge me, to challenge the shoulder in question, having done so has given me back my hyper-mobility. Above all this, every one from office to therapist are kind, courteous, helpful, professional sympathetic, empathetic and encouraging. Because of the length of time for this injury to heal, I feel as though the staff at Pivot P.T. have become family in a sense, and for this I am greatful. Highly recommend Pivot Physical Therapy. Still have some healing to do, but because of Pivot PT, married with my will to get better and better it will be a much simpler task. Thanks to all of you, Sincerely, Cristina Lee Monaghan.

Fantastic experience: I have received excellent physical therapy at PIVOT (formerly known as Mountain Physical Therapy) for years for my various issues. Amira Ranney in particular is a marvel of a PT, a miracle worker. Professional and friendly, she is totally dedicated to the improvement of her patients. I've also worked with Michael Abbas and was very impressed. As I age and have more aches and pains, I find that I would be lost without this group of highly skilled people, including the receptionists, who expertly juggle appointment times so that everyone can be seen at the proper intervals. I highly recommend the Asheville office of PIVOT Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I'll recommend Pivot Physical Therapy without hesitation. Having experienced more than my fair share of injuries over the years, I’ve seen therapists at physician operated practices and those recommended by my doctors. However, with more serious issues I always use Amira Ranney, who owned the practice on Southside Ave prior to its acquisition by Pivot. Amira is easily the most knowledgeable PT I’ve ever used, and she’s helped me recover from two back surgeries, two hip replacements, elbow and shoulder tendinosis, arthritis, and the long-term aftereffects of car and motorcycle accidents. She is thorough in her diagnostic process, creative and aggressive with her treatments, and constantly teaching those around her. I’ve recommended Amira and Pivot to many of my friends over the years; however, I’ve also been helped by other therapists at Pivot. In fact, Michael Root administered a dry needling session earlier today. All of the therapists I've seen at Pivot provide quality care, and you can count on being their focus for the entirety of each session. This is not what I always experienced at other providers. I could not recommend Amira and Pivot more highly.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people from reception to therapist. Even the ones not working on you make a point to say hello. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

Fantastic experience: Pivot Physical Therapy is tip-top in quality. The practice is quality-focused and operates with integrity. I've been a patient of this office, off and on, for various needs, since about 1993. I'm a family physician myself and have an understanding of how the QUALITY of the physical therapist impacts the successful management of physical problems. For my entire career as a physician in the local private community I referred my patient's PT to this office. My patients reached their goals with this group of therapists. I am a grateful patient of Pivot PT.

Fantastic experience: Love this office! This is the place to go for physical therapy in AVL!!!! Staff is so wonderful and caring! The place is Covid safe with regular disinfecting and sanitizing in place at every station. I love the vibes! This is my place!

Fantastic experience: The staff here is amazing! I am more mobile and in way less pain thanks to this place. If you need PT it's a definite; you should go to Pivot. Christa Kaighn
