Post-Surgery
We help patients recover from surgery with a clear plan to restore movement, strength, and confidence.
Watch the video below to understand what actually makes post-surgical rehab successful and how to avoid setbacks during recovery.
We help people recover from surgery with a clear plan that restores movement, strength, and confidence so they can return to daily life and activity safely.
Each rehab plan is individualized. Surgical timelines, movement limitations, prior injuries, and personal goals all factor into how care is delivered.
After surgery, you want to know you’re in the right place.
You want to know that every session is one-on-one and that your recovery won’t be rushed or overlooked. We work closely with your surgeon and medical team to make sure rehab progresses safely and nothing important is missed.
You also want to know that rehab is built around your goals, not just a protocol. Our focus goes beyond basic recovery. We identify and address movement limitations, strength deficits, and imbalances that existed before surgery so they don’t continue to affect you afterward.
The proof is in the outcomes.
Patients trust us when they want to recover well and move forward with confidence after surgery.

“I was living at a 9 out of 10 pain pretty consistently, and nothing ever got me out of pain permanently until I came to Next Level.”
“Being on my feet all day was miserable. At Next Level, they actually walk you through the exercises on the spot and make sure you understand everything. My mood, my energy, everything is better now.”
My experience at Next Level Physical Therapy was the best! I had the pleasure to have Ben Fan as my physical therapist. He helped me so much during my recovery after my ACL surgery. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
As a Division 1 baseball player who received Tommy John Surgery (UCL Reconstruction) in April 2021, proper recovery was extremely crucial. When I came home from school for the summer, I attended Next Level Physical Therapy and saw Dr. Benjamin Fan. I was referred to Dr. Fan through my surgeon Dr. Chris Ahmad and his assistant, who is the Head Team Physician for the New York Yankees. I could not have been happier to have been sent to Next Level and Dr. Fan. The staff at Next Level are all very kind, personable, and friendly. I enjoyed seeing Dr. Fan twice a week throughout the summer. I was put through an amazing workout every time, and learned a great deal of tips and tricks. Dr. Fan has a ton of knowledge, and I will be incorporating a lot of workouts I learned through him in my routines. I always found his workouts to be helpful, and I always left feeling good. Dr. Fan is easy and fun to talk to, and I am very grateful to have met him. I could not have been happier with my experiences at Next Level Physical Therapy.
Dr. Mike is the man! I knew I needed an expert in sports therapy for my shoulder once I was able to start therapy after my surgery. Dr. Mike was recommended to me and I heard a lot of good things about him. If I didn’t go to Dr. Mike for my post surgery rehab then I wouldn’t be ahead of schedule and feeling better then ever 4 months post surgery. He has a great personality and is also flexible with scheduling. The last couple months attending physical therapy with Dr. Mike was fantastic and great. He pushed me to limits that I didn’t think I could reach during therapy. If you ever have a sports injury I highly recommend Dr. Mike because you will see the difference.

We help active adults identify the root cause of pain so they can stay active, move comfortably, and keep doing the things they enjoy.
Each person is treated as an individual. Daily habits, movement patterns, injury history, and personal goals all factor into how care is delivered.
As an active adult, you want to know you’re choosing care that fits your lifestyle.
You want to know if we’ve helped people who train a few days a week, stay active on the weekends, and expect their body to keep up with work, workouts, and family life. We work with active adults who deal with recurring pain from lifting, jogging, weekend sports, long workdays, and inconsistent training routines.
You also want to know how treatment works. Our care focuses on identifying the underlying reasons pain keeps showing up. This includes addressing movement quality, posture, strength, breathing, and how your body handles everyday stress and activity. You won’t be handed generic exercises or told to simply rest and wait it out.
The proof is in the outcomes.
Active adults trust us when they want to stay active without constantly managing pain.

“Being on my feet all day was miserable. At Next Level, they actually walk you through the exercises on the spot and make sure you understand everything. My mood, my energy, everything is better now.”
In January, I figured my running days were over. I had so much pain in my hip, knee, and shoulder (!!) that it was waking me up in the middle of the night. I had been running 3-5 days/week since 2008 and just thought, “Welp, we had a good run, time to start walking.” Thank goodness I found Next Level and Dr. Mike. I started going to him this summer; he reassured me that my running days weren’t over and created a plan to help me get back on the road! Dr. Mike explained each exercise thoroughly, and not just the “how” but the “why.” He helped me to build on my progress so I saw improvements every week. I recently started running again, my pain is GONE, my range of motion is so much better, I’m sleeping well again, and I know that all the time and work I put in is going to help me stay strong and healthy, rather than trying to run too soon and getting injured again. Can’t thank Dr. Mike enough for helping me get back to doing what I love!
Dr. Mike gets to the root of the problem. I had chronic pain in both knees for over 18 months. Now I can run with my kids, kneel on the floor to change a diaper, and move without pain after a quick warm up.
Working with Next Level Physical Therapy has been a positive, uplifting, and healing experience for me. As a former athlete and current women’s collegiate basketball referee, I’ve had my fair share of injuries and have been in and out of physical therapy for much of my life. Next Level’s philosophy and approach to physical therapy is something I’ve never encountered anywhere else – their methods are thoughtful, tailored, and unique to each individual.
I’ve personally worked with Elyse for the last few months, and she has helped me make strides in feeling connected to my body again after having my first baby two years ago. As a patient of hers, I feel seen and heard. I’ve experienced marked improvements in my strength and overall confidence. And I have hope that I can keep improving and reaching my goals with her guidance and support.
Administratively, I’ve worked 1:1 with Nicki, who is a consummate professional. She’s been flexible and willing to work with me for any scheduling or programmatic needs, and she always has a smile on her face!
I truly can’t say enough great things about Next Level Physical Therapy, and I’m so grateful to be working with them.

I’m an Olympic Gold Medalist in rowing and Dr Mike and the staff at NextLevel changed my life and the way I view injuries. Before seeing them I had tried everything to help my back pain – PTs, strength coaches, massage therapists, chiros, Pilates, etc etc. Those things helped, but the way they approached my injury was completely different, more effective, and holistic. The exercises changed how my whole body moved and felt. Dr Mike let me talk and ask questions and made me feel like I wasn’t broken even when I had pain. Highly recommended for anyone at any level of sports or life.
My son started physical therapy with Next Level Physical Therapy at the beginning of summer 2021. We had tried many of the traditional PT places with little to no success. A friend of mine, whose son had used Next Level Physical Therapy, recommended them. Long story, short…my son who was barely able to jog because of pain and discomfort, begin treatment for 8 weeks with NLPT. At the conclusion of his 8 week treatments he was pain/discomfort free and able to train again in his sport of track and field. He is currently the #1 ranked high school long jumper in the nation. Thanks NLPT/James.
Regularly going to Next Level has been a pivotal decision in my journey as an athlete. The team at Next Level adopts a holistic, tailored approach to physical therapy/training. I really appreciate the systematic, long-term view that Next Level uses to improve outcomes. My program features corrective exercises as well as a strengthening routine that is relevant to my sport. Simple breathing exercises to improve hip and rib alignment have increased my mobility and decreased niggles. Most importantly, the team at Next Level clearly explains why and how we do an exercise and how it fits into my broader goals. Clear teaching helps me inculcate these exercises into my daily routine and understand their importance. The team at Next Level is understanding and flexible with timings. I highly recommend!
