If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend Jose Rodriguez at Next Level Physical Therapy enough. I originally went in for low back pain, but what I received was so much more than treatment for a single issue. Jose has an incredible depth of knowledge, not just about movement, but about how the entire body works together as one system. He helped me understand how every area of the body affects the others, and for the first time, everything actually made sense. What impressed me most was how personalized every session was. He never used a one-size-fits-all approach. Every recommendation, exercise, and explanation was tailored specifically to my body, my experiences, and my goals. He took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I truly understood not just what we were doing, but why we were doing it. Even more importantly, Jose teaches in a way that empowers you. Instead of simply treating you during your appointment, he gives you the knowledge and tools to continue improving long after you leave. His goal is clearly to help you become stronger, healthier, and more confident, not dependent on him. The appointments are somehow both educational and genuinely fun. You leave learning something new every single time, and you can tell he is passionate about helping people feel their best. One thing that really sets Jose apart is how available and invested he is. He makes himself accessible if questions come up, and you never feel like just another patient on his schedule. He listens carefully when you explain what’s going on, genuinely cares about what you’re experiencing, and wants to find the root cause, not just put a bandage on the symptoms. I also appreciate how realistic his approach is. He understands that people have jobs, families, and busy lives. He doesn’t expect perfection, he focuses on consistent progress, which makes the entire process feel achievable and sustainable. Jose has completely changed the way I think about my body, movement, and recovery. If you’re dealing with pain or simply want someone who is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and invested in your long-term health, you won’t find anyone better. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone without hesitation.
I have been treated by Dr.Jose for almost 10 weeks now. The treatment method and the instructional and detailed nature of the sessions is very unique. In addition to treatment drills and homework, I get to understand in detail the root cause, symptoms and means to avoid such injuries in future. Highly recommend.
I have been doing PT with Dr. Jose Rodriguez for a year. I have chronical shoulder and hip issues on my right side. He has been very patient, explaining the root causes, measurements, exercises, and goals. I am on my path to recover. Unlike a typical PT that deals with pain for 12 weeks, he has a whole body approach, gets me to the right posture, breathing. Then helps me to rebuild my muscle strength. I have been doing yoga, pilates, and barr for several years. Stick with low impact exercises due to numerous pain points. And now, I am back to gym doing weight training, pain-free and with good forms, hopefully. It is hard work and I am happy to be on this path with him. I am also a curious learner of body anatomy. He is happy to share his knowledge with me, how muscles, bones, nerves work in my body. Why do I have pain here and there. It is a great learning experience too that most doctors won't give you.
Dr. Kate and the team here have been great. Building my strength and restoring confidence that I can come back from injury and surgery.
Next Level Physical Therapy definitely lived up to its name. My experience was beyond next level. Dr. Kate was like a wizard. She created a magical potion of miracle needles and exercises. Overall she helped me use my hips again! Compared to other places I’ve been, I’ve never had so many enjoyable sessions using my hips. From laughing to being locked in, it was a marvelous experience.
After years of trying other PTs, I came across an instagram ad and decided to check out next level. I was lucky enough to get to work with Dr. Jose. He was by far the most experienced and educated DPT I have worked with. After suffering from back and hip pain for over a decade, he took the time to break down and explain what was going on after various tests and measurements. He was the first clinician ever to explain the impact the nervous system was having on my pain, and actually measure and find certain imbalances. Every exercise was something I had never done before. There was nothing cookie cutter about my sessions…they were all tailored and adjusted to my issues and progression. The staff was always welcoming and accommodating, especially Rachael. The facility and equipment were immaculate. I couldn’t recommend them more. Very grateful for the results I experienced at next level thanks to Dr. Jose.
Great stuff at this place. Came back from 2 shoulder surgeries and cleared with no restrictions. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. They also provide Fiji water which is a cool plus.
My frozen shoulder journey... it's hard to find someone who treats frozen shoulder well! I am so glad that I found Next Level and Dr. Kate! I'm a pretty active person who had been struggling with my shoulder for several months. I had been to two other PT places as well as two sports medicine doctors. I had received several injections (cortisone, prolotherapy, PRP/ stem cells, etc). It wasn't getting any better. Next Level is different, you work one on one with a PT for the whole session. It's not 45 minutes of exercises by yourself and then 6 minutes with a PT. Dr Kate has helped identify specifically which muscles are causing issues and creatively find treatments and exercises to gradually teach them to behave 😉 It might involve hands on, cupping or dry needling... using bands, TRX, kettlebells... I've made significant improvements and have faith that I will regain full strength and ROM in the near future. Next Level is also just a pleasant place to be. Rachael at the front desk is always on the ball and super friendly. And Dr Jose is encouraging even though I'm not his patient. I'm just super glad I ended up here!
I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Jose. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly cared for. His knowledge, patience, and dedication to my recovery genuinely changed my life for the better. He took the time to understand my needs, pushed me when I needed it, and always encouraged me every step of the way. The environment in the office was just as amazing, welcoming, positive, and professional. You can tell the entire team takes pride in creating a space where patients feel at ease and motivated to heal. Overall, this was more than just physical therapy for me, it was a life-changing experience. I’m beyond grateful for everything Jose and the team have done for me, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care.
Dr. Jose is God in human form when it comes to understanding the human body. This experience is not for the weak at heart or pocket. It can be a little pricey but the good things in life are not cheap. I decided to invest in myself and my health and I wasn’t disappointed. I couldn’t run when I began and now I can sprint. Thank you so much Dr. Jose. You changed my life and my future. Thank you Next Level Physical Therapy. However the best part of Next Level physical Therapy is Rachael at the front desk. It’s the best customer service you will ever experience. She is the definition of kindness understanding and corporation.

They focus on fixing the underlying imbalances that led to the injury. I resolved shoulder pain ahead of a national weightlifting competition and saw massive improvements in my numbers.
Life changing. I’d struggled with headaches and neck pain for 15+ years and seen countless specialists. No one looked deeper into the root of the problem like Next Level.
I’m 53 and had a hurt back most of my adult life. After my first free consult I was convinced. As I write this review, my back doesn’t hurt at all.
