Our Narberth clinic was built for people who want more than traditional physical therapy. If you’ve tried generic exercises, temporary pain relief, or treatments that didn’t address the real issue, our team takes a different approach focused on lasting results.
Every visit is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, allowing us to understand how you move, identify the underlying cause of your pain, and create a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to your goals.
Whether you’re an athlete, active adult, or recovering after surgery, your care is designed to restore strength, improve mobility, and help you return to the activities that matter most with confidence.
At Next Level, we combine hands-on care with performance-focused rehabilitation so you can recover fully, move better, and build resilience that lasts well beyond your final appointment.
Pain is often the result of how your body moves, compensates, and adapts over time. The area where you feel discomfort isn’t always the source of the problem, which is why our care begins by evaluating movement, not simply treating symptoms.
Targeted manual therapy to ease pain, restore mobility, and prepare your body for more efficient movement.
Restore flexibility, improve joint mobility, and support recovery so you can move with greater confidence.
Correct inefficient movement patterns to improve mechanics during everyday activities, exercise, and sport.

At Next Level Physical Therapy, we help patients throughout Narberth, the Philadelphia Main Line, and nearby Montgomery County overcome pain, restore movement, and return to the activities they enjoy. Our team treats a wide range of orthopedic injuries, mobility limitations, sports-related conditions, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain through personalized, one-on-one care.
Back pain can develop from many different factors including mobility limitations, movement compensation patterns, repetitive stress, sports injuries, lifting mechanics, postural demands, and previous injuries. Whether you are dealing with stiffness, muscle spasms, sciatica symptoms, disc-related pain, or recurring flare-ups, our team focuses on identifying the underlying movement issues contributing to your symptoms.
Using a combination of manual therapy, progressive strengthening, movement retraining, and personalized exercise programs, we help active adults and athletes regain confidence, reduce recurring pain, and return safely to work, sports, fitness, and the activities they enjoy most.
Knee pain can develop from sports injuries, overuse, post-surgical limitations, strength deficits, running mechanics, mobility restrictions, or movement compensation patterns elsewhere in the body. We commonly help patients dealing with ACL injuries, meniscus irritation, patellofemoral pain, tendon pain, and recurring knee discomfort.
By restoring strength, mobility, balance, and movement efficiency, we help patients recover from knee pain, improve lower-body function, and return to running, sports, exercise, and everyday activities with greater confidence and reduced risk of reinjury.
Hip pain can affect everything from training to running, lifting, and athletic performance. We commonly help patients dealing with hip impingement, labral irritation, muscle strains, stiffness, mobility limitations, tendon pain, and movement-related hip discomfort.
Our treatment plans combine mobility work, strength training, and movement retraining to improve hip function, reduce pain, and help patients move more efficiently so they can confidently return to exercise, athletics, and daily life.
Shoulder pain commonly affects athletes, gym-goers, active adults, and individuals performing repetitive overhead activities. Conditions such as rotator cuff irritation, impingement, labral injuries, instability, and post-surgical stiffness can significantly impact strength, mobility, and daily function.
Our treatment emphasizes restoring shoulder mobility, improving strength and movement quality, and addressing contributing factors throughout the upper body so you can return to lifting, sports, work, and everyday activities with confidence.
Neck pain and headaches are often influenced by posture, breathing mechanics, mobility limitations, muscle tension, repetitive movements, and movement compensation patterns throughout the body. Symptoms may include stiffness, tension headaches, pain with turning the head, radiating discomfort, or recurring tightness around the neck and shoulders.
We assess the way your neck, shoulders, upper back, posture, and movement patterns work together to identify contributing factors. Through hands-on care, targeted exercise, and movement retraining, we help patients relieve pain, restore mobility, and return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
Ankle and foot pain can significantly impact walking, running, exercise, sports performance, and daily movement. We commonly help patients dealing with ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, foot stiffness, instability, and recurring ankle injuries.
Our rehabilitation programs focus on improving mobility, rebuilding strength, enhancing balance, and optimizing movement mechanics to help patients recover from injury, reduce future setbacks, and confidently return to walking, running, sports, and everyday activities.
Elbow and wrist pain commonly develop from repetitive movements, sports activities, lifting, gripping, typing, or compensation patterns involving the shoulder and upper body. We frequently help patients experiencing tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, tendon irritation, wrist stiffness, nerve-related symptoms, and movement limitations affecting daily function.
We focus on improving upper-body strength, mobility, and movement mechanics while addressing the underlying causes of irritation. Through individualized rehabilitation, we help patients relieve pain and return confidently to work, training, sports, and everyday tasks.
Sports performance and return-to-sport training bridge the gap between rehabilitation and full athletic performance. At Next Level Physical Therapy, recovery does not stop once pain decreases. We continue progressing strength, movement quality, conditioning, and sport-specific performance so athletes can confidently return to competition and training.
Our performance-based programs incorporate strength progressions, plyometrics, agility training, return-to-run protocols, and sport-specific testing to help athletes rebuild confidence, minimize reinjury risk, and safely return to competition performing at their highest level.

Using what we learn during your evaluation, we’ll build a personalized treatment plan designed around your goals—whether that’s returning to sports, getting back to the gym, recovering after surgery, reducing chronic pain, or moving through everyday life with greater confidence.

After seeing an ad for root cause analysis. I made an appointment with next level. I am glad I did, I worked with traditional therapists for shoulder pain and had poor results previously. I was fortunate to have my appointment with Dr. Dan. Dan took his time to understand my issues and listened to what I tried before with no results. His plan has been all inclusive working the area around the shoulder to regain strength and gave me back the confidence to exercise pain free. Even if I have a flare up, I now have the knowledge to get back on track faster than ever. Since it was a full body assessment Dr. Dan has also been able to help me with other areas, I had pain in. Overall, it has been a great experience. Dr Dan has helped make a significant impact on my ability to be athletic at 50. Thank you, Dr Dan! When I finished my sessions with Dr. Dan, he took the time to make sure I had a plan I could continue to work on my own. He takes the time needed to get you on the right path to get you back to enjoying the things your injury may limit!
We had a wonderful experience at Next Level with Dr. Matt during my daughter’s recovery from a knee injury. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping her get back to feeling strong and confident again. He took the time to explain the exercises and the recovery process, and he always made sure she was comfortable while still challenging her appropriately. We truly appreciated the encouragement and personalized attention he gave her throughout her physical therapy. It was so rewarding to see her progress and get back to soccer and the activities she enjoys.
I highly recommend the services at Next Level Physical Therapy. Dr Matt provides a personalized care plan that’s in depth and able to be replicated at home!
I have been looking for a place like this. There are a lot of physical therapy places that are absolutely bound to the book- to a fault. You come in saying it hurts when you play your sport or do your hobby and they tell you to stop doing it. Not here. Dr.Daniel took. great care to track and progress my care so I was more functional and more pain free every week. If you are an athlete, a worker or a scholar, this is the place to get yourself back into shape. They use the best techniques and modern methods to deliver the best care.
Went to see Dr. Dan to continue rehab of a hip issue and get back to playing tennis. The day before our first session I also hurt my forearm. At first I thought this was horrible timing, but it turned out to be perfect timing because Dr. Dan was able to give me programs for both hip and elbow. It's been three months and I am back playing tennis regularly. Dr. Dan is great at making plans with me and checking progress every week. Highly recommend Next Level's approach.
I play squash competitively and came here for shin splints. My symptoms improved a lot after working with them.
These guys are fantastic. Very honest, knowledgeable, and skilled. Dr. Matt specifically has helped me significantly with my asymmetries, and I would recommend him to anyone that needs help!
I just completed my 10th visit to Next Level PT in Narberth. Dr Dan is amazing. He listened to my issues at my first visit and really carved out a program especially tailored towards my goals. He checks in with me at the beginning of each visit and adjusts his treatment plan according to my current status. Dan makes sure I demonstrate understanding of each exercise and will even video these for my reference if needed. Before finding Next Level traditional out patient PT, injections, and even nerve ablation did not help with my pain and limited motion. Now I’m getting better with less pain and increased range of motion after every visit. I would highly recommend Next Level PT.
I've been to lots of physical therapy at lots of different places since having a PAO surgery on my right hip a decade ago. This is the first time that I've been able to make significant progress in reducing my pain and stiffness while also getting stronger. It turns out that my hypermobile joints require tweaks to certain exercises. This is the first time anyone has explained that to me and helped me adapt exercises to ensure the right muscles are doing the work. I cannot say enough good things about Dan or the approach that Next Level takes to physical therapy. I feel like I've had a true partner in working toward my goals.
Eight procedures. Six of them rehabilitated at Next Level Physical Therapy. The only reason it is not eight is that I had not yet found them for the first two. Dr. Matt Simcox led me through my ACL reconstruction and my ankle ORIF. I arrived on crutches, in a boot, non-weight-bearing on my right ankle. I left with symmetrical range of motion, jumping, sprinting, and taking faceoffs again. That alone would earn five stars. What sets Next Level apart is the standard they hold. Most clinics define success as returning you to your pre-injury baseline. Dr. Matt treated that baseline as the floor. I finished each rehab stronger, faster, and more resilient than I was before the injury, and my performance since has reflected it. Their method is unlike anything I encountered across eight rehabilitations. No generic protocol. Each session was built around my sport, my position, and what my body needed that day, with a clear rationale for every progression. Dr. Matt approaches rehab as a problem to be solved with rigor, and he is invested in the outcome as if it were his own. For any serious athlete returning from surgery, Next Level Physical Therapy is the only practice I would recommend without reservation. Second to none.
