"Everyone was so kind! I appreciate how my daughter was cared for and treated. She felt comfortable there! Even when we had to reschedule and work with some insurance issues everything was resolved quickly and efficiently. We have been to another facility in the county but this one is by far the best. If we have future PT needs this is where we would go without hesitation! I can’t recommend them highly enough (10 stars)"

"I have been going here for about 2 years, I usually always see Kelly and have had excellent results. I never have to wait more than a few minutes. The office is very clean and organized and everyone is friendly. I would recommend Carolina Orthopedic Rehab to anyone."

"This clinic is *the* best. I've had so many knee surgeries I've lost count and been to several PT clinics. This one gives personalized care and isn't so crowded you can't think. I've chosen them twice. They really are that great. Kudos to all of their staff for making PT sessions almost enjoyable."

"Great team here helping me get back on track to have a healthy life! They are very knowledgeable and talk through everything with you so you understand what's going on and what the therapy is targeting. Highly recommend!!!"

"I highly recommend Carolina Orthopedic Rehab. They make everyone feel welcome and at ease. Ken is great. He does a very thorough assessment and is great at explaining the treatment plan. Kelly is excellent and knowledgeable. My pain has improved so much under her care. Kristy is kind, very welcoming and makes scheduling so easy. They are a great team. Im very happy I found this PT office."

"I love going to Carolina Orthopedic Rehab...Aaron my therapist is always concerned about how I'm doing and he WILL push me to do more but ALWAYS within my ability. Thanks you Carolina Orthopedic Rehab!!"

"My first experience with extended PT treatment, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Ken and the staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. Most of my appointments were with Aaron, and the one on one sessions were a very effective and successful part of my rehabilitation process. Keep up the good work!"

"Everyone I have worked with has been an outstanding, experienced and highly trained professional. My balance improved amazingly, and I feel safer and stronger. I have referred friends and will continue to do so."

"Love this office. Ken did a great assessment and plan for me to improve my injury. Kelly was great during my PT visits and Christy was excellent in scheduling and dealing with approvals. Great team!"

"Recently completed 3+ plus months of PT with Carolina Orthopedic Rehab recovering from a spinal fusion. Ken has built a phenomenal practice where you are always greeted with a friendly welcome and the therapists are exceptional. Aaron did a phenomenal job comfortably challenging me each session, always ensuring I never experienced pain or discomfort. He set me up well to transition back to my new normal as I continue to regain more strength each and every day. I am so thankful I found Carolina Orthopedic Rehab and that the role they played in my recovery journey. Highly recommend this practice to anyone needing PT in the Hendersonville area."

"Thoroughly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Kelly is just the best. Kristy and Ken are very thorough and make everyone feel welcome and at ease. COR was recommended to me, and I happily recommend them even more."

"My experience working with the professional staff at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab was the best PT experience I have ever had. Ken was extremely thorough with his initial and regular interval progress assessments. Aaron, his colleague, was a wonderful physical therapist who really helped me to regain my strength and balance while providing valuable suggestions as he supervised my sessions every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Everyone here is so friendly! When I first started coming here I was in a lot of pain! I am so much better now; it’s a huge relief! I highly recommend Carolina Ortho Rehab! 😃"

"Friendly staff, let’s you work at your own pace , one on one patient care and not a see how many people we can see a day facility! Christy at the front desk makes scheduling a breeze while Ken and Kelly keep you on track!"

"Everyone is so friendly. Ken and Kelly are awesome! They are really helping me get better."

"I have been going to Carolina Ortho Rehab for some time (for different things) and I have to say I highly recommend! From the moment you walk in the staff are extremely welcoming, friendly, and you know that they have your best interest and health in mind!!"

"Ken and Kelly are the best. So, thankful a friend recommended Carolina Orthopedic Rehab after another PT in Tryon was unable to help me with a frozen shoulder. Kelly worked with me to get full mobility of my shoulder and arm back! Thank you so much. If you are not local to Hendersonville this group is worth the drive to be your best self again."

"They did an excellent job of evaluating my shoulder injury. Great results leading to release to home PT exercize."

"I would like to thank Ken , Aaron, Kelly, and Kristy they all have done an awesome job I appreciate their patients their kindness and the soft gentle care that they give to their patients the attention that they show me while working on my arm was excellent I appreciate when I was in pain that y’all took the time to stop until my pain passed and then resume the therapy I could not have asked for a better Group of people to have been with me on this journey I appreciate y’all so much more than you will ever know awesome work I recommend y’all to anyone that needs therapy they will show you kindness and they have a very gentle touch and they get the job done they have my full appreciation and respect thank you guys from the bottom of my heart y’all did a awesome job Thank you Donna Martinez"

"I was in Hendersonville for a month. I took my physical therapy prescription from my MD (in Florida) into Carolina Orthopedic Rehab Physical Therapy. Ken, the owner, set up a program and appointments. Kelly treated me and my situation greatly improved. Carolina Orthopedic treated me very well. It was always a pleasure to go in for treatment. I would not hesitate in using them again. They are professional and a well run practice."

"Staff is very professional, caring and thorough. Facility is very clean and conducive to rehab routines/treatment."

"I have seen Ken and his group for 2 different issues over the years. They are professional but relaxed and the space is super open with all the windows. I would highly recommend them and since they are not affiliated with any hospital the visits are totally reasonable."

"The staff is helpful and friendly, my therapist really helped me get stronger quickly, the facility is clean, bright and inviting and they run on time. The therapist is focused on working with the patient and observant of any changes. They are very professional and the results are a testament to their skills. My friend referred me and I am so glad she did."

"The type of rehab they perform is what all rehab practices should follow. One on one with an approach for a long term positive results. Knowledgeable staff in a quiet atmosphere. Thank you"

"Ken, Aaron and Kelly are AMAZING. I followed their expert therapy directions at home and had no set backs in my recovery. They answered any questions or concerns of mine with genuine care. I was never just another appointment!! Best place to be for all your physical therapy needs."

"I worked with Aaron after a bicep tenodesis. Having a rotator cuff tear and fibromyalgia the recovery was harrrd, but Aaron was able to tailor exercises to my specific needs and proved very knowledgeable throughout on body mechanics and modifications. He’s also very friendly!"

"This was my first experience with PT and I was not looking forward to it after the many stories I had heard. However, the super folks at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab allayed all of my fears. Ken ( the owner) does your initial assessment and evaluation after which you are assigned a therapist. My therapist was Aaron who did a terrific job of rehabbing my shoulder. The entire staff was so helpful and caring - I highly recommend them!"

"Over the last 10 years, my husband and I have used Carolina Orthopedic Rehab PT for all our PT needs (hands, knees, hips, back specifically). Ken Ellsworth and his team (Kelly and Aaron) are very experienced. They generally see only one patient at a time. The space itself is welcoming and comfortable. Ken's office manager Kristie knows all of us by name and is extremely helpful with insurance issues. All physical therapy offices are not created equal and this is one of the best I've seen. I am a physician myself and would recommend COR without reservation."

"Courteous, professional, personal care. One on one individual care. Everyone receives the full attention of their therapist. I’ve used their services for rehabilitation after multiple surgeries. As a retired physician, I believe I can recognize good health care when I see it."

"We have used Carolina Orthopedic since August. Everyone in the office is very kind and compassionate with patients and their families. Aaron has been fabulous working with my daughter. He has used examples and suggestions that she can relate to when describing how to preform exercises and stretches. If we need pt or rehabilitation services in the future, we will definitely be returning."

"Everyone is wonderful! They are very attentive and are happy to explain everything so you can understand it. I recommend them highly."

"Very professional staff. Figured out the problem right away and gave me exercises to reduce pain. Deep tissue massage therapy by PT Kelly was very effective. I highly recommend them."

"Reviewer is Jane Strange, who was the client. I saw these folks for sciatica, back, hip and knee pain. Couldn't be more pleased. Ken listened to my concerns and planned my treatment plan. Aaron worked with me on the exercises and treatment for my back, involving heat and stimulation, also advising on better ways to move in my everyday life that would be easier on my body. Pain has been reduced at least 50%, if not more. Everyone in this practice is kind, caring and helpful - including Christy at the front desk and Kelly, who assists. Highly recommend!"

"Have been to Carolina Orthopedic for a couple times now. Every time they have been phenomenal. Aaron is great to work with really understands how to help you meet your goals. Office staff is great. The feel is calm and relaxed in the office. Great place all around. "

"What a positive and professional group of friendly folks. They were always helpful and caring."

"I’ve been suffering from jaw pain and neck pain for a while now and found Carolina Ortho Rehab and thought I’d give it a try. The entire staff is so friendly and Kelly is amazing! She has helped SO much with my pain. The stretches she taught me are super helpful too when I can’t make it in regularly. I highly recommend this place."

"Best pt group in Hendersonville."

"Kelly is great!"

"Top notch, very knowledgeable and nice people. Highly recommend"

"Ken and staff are professional, considerate, caring and a true joy to work with. Kelly worked exclusively with me, poet op total hip replacement, and while always challenging is equally your cheerleader!! Thank you all!!"

"I have been coming to Carolina Orthopedic for about a year now. In my opinion, this is the best rehab center around! I normally see Aaron and he is the best! Aaron is very professional, personal, and down to earth. I am a very straight shooter and I greatly appreciate Aaron's honesty about my progress."

"I have had back pain and sciatica for many years. I went in looking for relief and some at home exercise that I could easily do at home. I had never been offered massage for either problem and Kelly did wonders relieving my pain with massage. The simple exercises they gave me have made all the difference ( and I don’t do them everyday and when I do remember they make a huge difference). The space is clean, large and bright, music not overwhelming and often not on. The staff knowledgeable and respectful. The whole experience was just what I had needed. I’m very glad I can turn to Carolina Orthopedic when I am in pain."

"Carolina Orthopedic Rehab is the absolute best physical therapy organizations I’ve ever gone to. The receptionist is the absolute finest ever. Very friendly and efficient. The three physical therapists all have at least a decade of experience at this facility. They all know the right exercises to do for your problem. I can’t recommend them too highly."

"Everyone there is great. Following my recovery from an auto accident, I did my physical therapy there for about a year and a half. Very professional, great communication on goals and methods. Despite the hard work, and yes sometimes a little pain, the attitude of the staff and the atmopshere, was such that going for a session was not a dreaded task. I did sessions with everyone at one time or another and everyone was great. The majority of mine were done with Kelly. She is great to work with and did an outstanding job. My thanks goes out to her and everyone there who helped me."

"The staff at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab are kind and compassionate, while encouraging you to reach goals. I have had several bad experiences in PT over the years, some even aggravating my issues, but after going here, I have a renewed faith in PT helping."

"I am forever grateful for my referral to COR. I suffered for ten months after I tripped and fell in my home. It resulted in a frozen shoulder and low back pain. Ken thoroughly and methodically evaluated each issue and explained the treatment plan. Kelly was my therapist and executed the plan. I thank God for Kelly. She has a gentle touch and the gift of healing. I credit her for getting my shoulder moving to the point I can canoe and kayak again. Kelly also treated my low back pain using deep tissue massage. I am so happy to finally be ache-free again! My only regret is that I waited too long to seek help. COR’s staff is friendly, kind and efficient. Appointments are easy to schedule and they have a timely reminder system. Don’t suffer needlessly. Seek healing from COR and get moving again."

"Ken is a very experienced and knowledgeable physical therapist. I much appreciated his honesty in accessing whether PT would solve my health issues. The rest of the staff is friendly and capable as well."

"Carolina Orthopedic Rehab is my go-to physical therapy group. They have assisted me with shoulder and knee issues; and now, back problems. I appreciate the very individual attention they provided in a very quiet and professional setting."

"COR is the place to go if you want to get completely well quickly. Ken is very thorough in his evaluation of the issue. Then he has his recommendations that resolve the problem. Ken is very professional and attentive to you."

"Everyone at COR is amazing. Julie, the office manager, couldn't be more helpful. The physical therapists, Ken, Kelly and Aaron are amazing. I had to have a reverse shoulder replacement surgery due to an accident. When my shoulder was healed I was able to start PT to gain movement in my arm. When I started I was in tremendous pain with limited use. I am now able to do all normal, everyday activities. I am so grateful to Kelly for her guidance and positive reinforcement through this journey that I've been on. I was able to work with Ken and Aaron also. Each of them are wonderful. I had my last appointment today and I'll miss all of them. This is THE best orthopedic rehabilitation team. Marcie Scott"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the super friendly and highly competent staff at COR and will recommend them to anyone who is in need of PT. I love that it is a small facility where you are treated like a special client rather than an insurance number. Juli, the Office Manager, is a delight. And Kelly, Ken and Aaron are top notch Therapists. I will miss all of them now that my therapy is complete. I primarily worked with Kelly and I thank her for her patience and help with my issues."

"Great place to do your rehab. Kelly was great. i have been to several PT places and by far this one is the best. You get lots of personal attention."

"Julie is so friendly at the desk and I was in the office for evaluation right away. I had injured my self badly trying new things after 4 months of a broken arm/shoulder misalignment. These shoulder specialists know what they are doing. Kelly helped solve my errors and gave me new strengths, flexibility and confidence to get back to daily activities."

"Both my husband and I have been patients at this facility for various rehab needs from balance, to shoulder surgery, to plantar faciitis. My husband was in the middle stages of Alzheimers' when being treated and the staff was patient and kind with him. We have always been seen on time and received personalized care. I have recommended this practice to at least two other friends for post op or other care. It's quiet and personal , small enough that you see the same therapist every visit rather than a round robin of strangers."

"Recent rotator cuff surgery necessitated physical therapy.......COVID 19 added a new element of uncertainty to the decision as to where to go. Having to have Physical Therapy 5 times in as many years, I knew what I did not want and the precautions I was looking for this time. So we decided to stop by and check out Carolina Orthopedic Rehab......based on the reviews we read here. We were impressed with the cleanliness of their beautiful facility and the one on one therapy sessions. The friendliness of the staff, everyone’s professionalism, and obvious measures to insure that COVID germs were under control........made my decision quick and easy. Ken, Kelly & Aaron, you guys are the best! Always caring and encouraging, Thanks so much!! Juli, for that lovely smile welcoming me each visit, always helpful and professional!! Carolina Orthopedic Rehab is without question one of the best in this area. It is the atmosphere, it is their caring concern and expertise, it is Ken, Kelly, Juli and Aaron, professionalism that makes them stand out from everyone else! Peggy"

"Carolina Orthopedic Rehab made our daughter's recovery a top priority. Both Ken and Kelly were proactive in finding a treatment plan personally suited for her. We highly recommend them!"

"Having had lower back pain for years, not the sort for which surgery is an option (degenerative osteoarthritis with facet disease), my hand was forced to pursue a new therapeutic option once I began having such severe back spasms that I literally could not stand up straight. I asked a physician colleague of mine for a recommendation as to whom to see as to physical therapy, and with no hesitation, he recommended Ken Ellsworth at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab Physical Therapy. It proved to be a great referral, as I experienced phenomenal benefit. Julie at the front desk is an enthusiastic and welcoming presence, a great start. Initial paperwork can be completed on line or at the office. My first encounter consisted of a one hour thorough evaluation by Ken, and based upon his findings, I then proceeded through five PT sessions with his superb therapist Kelly. Each session consisted of several minutes of ultrasound followed by about a half hour of deep message to the affected areas. This was complemented by a set of graduated self-performed home exercises between those five sessions with Kelly. I had to compliment her on her hand strength...I am not sure which of the ingredients was the key to my significant improvement, i.e. the ultrasound, message, or exercise, but the combination yielded much benefit. The plan for me will be continued home exercise, daily for two weeks, then a couple of times as week indefinitely, which I will gladly pursue. Ken made it clear that I would be more than welcome to call at any time if any subsequent questions arise, or should a re-visit be indicated. Long story short, this is a great office with highly skilled and personable staff. As we all get older and stiffer, and arthritis runs rampant with associated compromise of quality of life, I can honestly enthusiastically recommend the services of Ken Ellsworth and staff without any reservation whatsoever."

"I am so glad I found COR! The office is bright and beautiful. Plenty of space and individual attention and privacy. Professional, competent staff who are friendly and knowledgeable. I have made excellent progress in healing my injury. Ken and Kelly are fantastic and are strong advocates for health and wellness. I strongly recommend Carolina Orthopedic Rehab!"

"Everyone there is great. Very good at relaying what the goals are and how the various excercises help accomplish them."

"The folks Carolina Orthopedic did a great job at explaining the nature of my injury and the purpose of my exercises. Their care and concern for my recovery was evident at each visit."

"Kellie was my therapist. I was very pleased with the progress I made with my shoulder due to her expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs therapy."

"Carolina Ortho Rehab is a very professional and effective physical therapy establishment. I worked with three (Ken, Kelly, Aaron) PT specialists and made great range of movement and strength improvements to my injured shoulder and back areas. I have had recurring issues and they zeroed in on specific ligament and tendon isolation exercises better then previous attempts elsewhere. They also took the time to educate me properly about more efficient exercising at home. Super friendly bunch, especially Juli, the Office Mgr. who starts your early morning session off with a beaming smile. Highly recommend them!!"

"Carolina Ortho is the best rehabilation instruction I have ever had - l"and I've had A LOT'" in my 77 years. The facility itself is OUTSTANDING - clean, well equipped, and easy to use. It is the outstanding ability of the therapists that make Carolina Rehabilitation not only the best facility but the VERY BEST TEACHING facility of its kind."

"You won’t find a more professional physical therapy practice. From the beginning, Ken listened closely to my symptoms, mapped out a successful treatment plan for me, and continued to encourage me all along the way. I then spent most of my rehab time with Kelly, who is very focused and outstanding at what she does. She insured my recovery was complete and right on schedule. She was my partner in healing and I came to appreciate her more and more with each visit. Julie always scheduled my visits, greeted me cheerfully, and handled the insurance side seamlessly. Everyone was incredibly kind and competent. I would return here without question."

"Ken and Kelly are absolutely are THE best physical therapists in Hendersonville. Some therapy is done in a private room. The atmosphere is wonderful. There are only 2 therapists in this practice, therefore, it's not like a assembly line. Julie, the receptionist, is very personable and knowledgeable and always has a smile. Everyone gets to know you on a personal level. ❤️❤️❤️"

"The therapy sessions have been excellent, so beneficial. Kelly Hoffmaster has been working miracles. Thank you Carolina Orthopedic."

"Very professional and courteous people with an excellent facility"

"Lets start with the treatment assessment. Right on target and a plan of care that was just what I needed. I am getting better every day. Now I am following the self care prescribed and together with the professional treatment received, I am excited to see my issues disappear. I must recognize the PT assistant who has magical hands and fingers. I have had massages before but never like this. The spasmed muscle were no match to her skilled treatment. Thanks to all in this office. Highly recommend their care."

"Kelly was a wonderful therapist. Not only did she help me feel so much better, but she also gave me excellent real life advice on how to improve my posture and do very helpful exercises at home. Highly recommend her and all the staff at Carolina Ortho Rehab."

"A Miracle Worker! Over the past 8 years Carolina Orthopedic Rehap has resolved problems with my neck, my knee and hip, and my shoulder. In each case after a few visits, and instructions for excises I could do at home, the problems were completely resolved with no need for further treatment. Highly recommended."

"My experience with Carolina orthepedic is great i am grateful that they are working with me and also helping me to get back to where i should be .they are very careful and teaching me to know my limits..they are honest kind and cheerful and it helps me because they make me feel welcome..i am really grateful to be going to them because of their honesty...and caring ppl..."

"I had a wonderful experience here. Everyone was very kind and encouraging. I enjoyed coming to do my therapy here and appreciated their efforts in making me feel comfortable, welcome, and teaching me about why I was doing what I was doing. Thank you all so much!"

"Dear Ken, Kelly, and Megan, I want to thank you so much for the wonderful care I received at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab. Your staff was encouraging, professional, and empathetic to the needs of your patients. I had a very pleasant experience and I am greatly appreciative. Sincerely Darci."

"My knee replacement physical therapy was provided by Carolina Ortho Rehab. I was seen on time for every one of my appointments. All my questions were thoughtfully considered and fully answered with detailed and practical advice. The physical therapy was astoundingly effective. I was seen by both Ken and Kelly - both friendly, calm, and completely professional. I highly recommend this practice."

"Thank you Kelly for your professional assistance in helping me after my knee replacement. You were tough and encouraging at the same time. I appreciate your help in my recovery. Thank you again! bill"

"Just the best. . They are very aware of how the body works & the muscles it takes to get it to work, & it amazed me how they can identify the problem, isolate it, and devise exercises that specifically target the issue... Their workspace is small & their attention is dedicated...You don't get the sense you're in a rehab factory... One thing, never never utter the phrase "This is easy.".."

"I had an extremely positive experience at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab. Ken and Kelly worked with me to regain mobility and strength after my recent rotator cuff surgery. Ken designed a plan that was easy to follow at home between therapy visits. During a difficult patch with frozen shoulder and an extra tight shoulder joint, Ken revised my therapy/exercise plan and offered lots of encouragement. I felt supported every step of the way. Even though I’ve â€Å"graduated â€Å" from PT, I continue to use what I’ve learned to increase my shoulder strength and daily living function. I hope I never need PT again, but if I do, I will definitely call Carolina Orthopedic Rehab!"

"I admit to being a bit skeptical about how much good therapy would help with my broken wrist. I must admit Ken Ellsworth helped me achieve significant improved range of motion and flexibility in my wrist that I thought I would never have again. I would highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed."

"Very Kind, friendly and helpful!"

"The Physical Therapy team at Carolina Orthopedic Rehab are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. A really great team to work with!"
