Met with Dr. Jose who was absolutely fantastic. Was able to quickly understand some of my root causes for pain I've had for years that even surgery didn't fix. Felt like I finally had someone who understood my pain and had an idea how to help. I was later called a told because I have an open court case suit they wouldn't continue to see me. Super disappointing. I drove over an hour for an appointment took off work and paid the deposit for the full body exam on my next appointment. They immediately refunded my deposit which was great. Just really wish they asked this question in the 20 minute phone call I had prior to the appointment. As long as you don't have a workers comp case or auto accident they seem like a great place.

Next Level PT is just that "Welcome to the next level"! From the beginning interview sessions to reviewing your status they really get to know you and what is going on. Its their mission to get you past your issues so a formal plan and goals are developed. It's the one on one experience you have been looking for, Dr. KATE is beyond next level with intelligence and pushing you past your limits. The staff is helpful and caring as well, Rachel was great.

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’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!! 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!!
