A comprehensive movement assessment that identifies hidden limitations, reveals weak links, and helps you build a stronger foundation for pain-free performance.
WHY MOVEMENT COMES FIRST
Movement problems rarely begin where you feel them. A tight hip, unstable shoulder, or poor balance often shows up long before pain or injury does. Those small limitations quietly change the way you move, train, and perform.
The Functional Movement Screen is designed to uncover those weak links before they become bigger problems. By evaluating how your body moves through fundamental movement patterns, we can identify restrictions, asymmetries, and compensations that traditional strength tests or flexibility checks often miss.
YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE.
THE SCREEN MAKES IT VISIBLE.
Three reasons a Functional Movement Screen provides insights that standard evaluations often miss.
The Functional Movement Screen evaluates how your entire body moves together, revealing limitations and compensation patterns that isolated strength or flexibility tests often overlook.
Every movement is scored using a standardized system, giving you measurable data instead of guesswork. You'll know exactly where your strengths and weaknesses exist.
Your results become the blueprint for smarter training, better performance, and fewer injuries by showing exactly what needs attention first.
Your assessment begins with a series of standardized movement patterns that evaluate mobility, stability, balance, coordination, and control. Each movement is scored to identify restrictions, asymmetries, and compensation patterns that may be limiting your performance or increasing your injury risk.
From there, we break down the results in plain language and connect them to your training, sport, or daily activities. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of where your movement is strong, where it needs improvement, and what to focus on next.
THE GOAL ISN’T JUST TO COLLECT SCORES. IT’S TO GIVE YOU A ROADMAP FOR MOVING BETTER.
WHAT TO EXPECT
See exactly how we evaluate movement, uncover weak links, and create a roadmap for better performance.
We learn about your training, injury history, goals, and anything affecting how you move before the assessment begins.
You'll perform seven standardized movement patterns that evaluate mobility, stability, balance, and overall movement quality.
Every movement is scored and analyzed to identify restrictions, asymmetries, and compensation patterns affecting your performance.
We review your findings together, explain what they mean, and prioritize the areas that deserve your attention first.
You'll leave with clear recommendations to improve movement quality, reduce injury risk, and train more efficiently moving forward.
THE METHOD BEHIND YOUR RESULTS
Every great training plan starts with better information. The Functional Movement Screen reveals how your body moves, identifies what's holding you back, and creates a clear path toward better performance.
Performance begins with movement quality. Before adding strength, speed, or power, we identify the mobility, stability, and control limitations creating inefficient movement patterns.
Every recommendation is based on objective findings from your screen, not assumptions. Your results create a roadmap that prioritizes the areas with the greatest impact.
Once you know what's holding you back, every exercise has a purpose. Targeted improvements lead to better movement, lower injury risk, and greater confidence in training.
Whether you're chasing better performance, trying to stay injury-free, or looking for answers that traditional evaluations missed, the Functional Movement Screen gives you the clarity to train smarter and move with 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!
I’ve been dealing with nerve pain inflammation for years (neck, shoulders, back, hip, knees). Medication and conventional PT has helped but nothing compares to the focused attention received at Next Level PT in Marlton, NJ. Dr Devi in particular has been amazing! From detailed explanations on the root cause of my pain episodes to the one on one treatment plans and programs I could follow at home. Even dry needling treatments have contributed to significant pain relief and enabled me to resume an active lifestyle. If you’re looking for answers on what’s causing your pain and one on one physical therapy tailored to your particular symptoms, Next Level in Marlton is a great choice!
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’ve experienced low back pain for years and have tried everything from traditional physical therapy to taking a year off of exercise with no success. I was pretty close to hopeless that I would ever be able to train again when I decided to try Next Level, in what essentially amounted to a Hail Mary. Dr. Jose was able to get me from not being able to pick up my daughter from the floor or being able to sleep without pain, to almost a full return to the gym in about four months. I no longer have pain when I sleep, can play with my daughter on the floor, and can exercise intensely without having to spend the rest of the day lying on the couch. I am not fully recovered but my quality of life has improved tremendously over the last few months. Dr. Jose is the only physical therapist I’ve worked with who focused on my hips as opposed to just assigning me core exercises. He is extremely thorough in his assessment and makes sure you understand where you are each visit in regard to your progress and limitations. There was no pressure to use all my sessions quickly nor any pressure to purchase more sessions. Coming here is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and was well worth the money. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to return if I ever needed physical therapy again.
This place is amazing!!! Dr. Erin is the best!
This place is amazing!! Especially Dr. Erin! I have had about 6 sessions with her so far and it has been game changing. Came in with back pain, completely eliminated after the first week. Would definitely recommend Erin!!
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.
Working with the staff at Next Level physical therapy has been an amazing experience. Dr Elyse and Dr Erin have excellent PT skills. I started out in lots of discomfort and weakness in my muscles. Due to their expertise i have improved tenfold and i am back playing tennis and pickle ball. I wish i could go there forever••• because they built up my confidence and restored my abilities. I would highly recommend anyone that needs Physical Therapy should contact Next Level. I am 100% satisfied. All the staff there were friendly and engaging.
