Post-Surgery

Working with Dr. Matt has been amazing throughout this process. I’ve been able to make noticeable improvements in my progress to returning to full strength. I started therapy with some ongoing issues in a few areas (shoulder, bicep, lower back). I’ve improved a lot along the way, and I’m excited to continue working towards my long term fitness goals. Dr. Matt is smart, attentive and great to work with. I highly recommend!

As a high level lacrosse player going through their recruitment process, staying healthy is an absolute must in order to not miss out on any opportunities. I came to Next Level with a specific injury that had bothered me for months all throughout my past summer season. I was given a clear and personalized plan of recovery straight away, and when I came back to competing, I was even stronger than I was before. Since then, Next Level has become apart of my routine. I check in weekly/monthly for analysis, which has helped me maintain my health. It’s put a new emphasis of recovery in my life and what it means to be an athlete, truly changing my game. I also feel that what uniquely separates Next Level from other PT’s that I have been to is the atmosphere. Next Level has a thoughtfully dedicated staff that simply cares. I not only look forward to improving myself when I come in for my sessions, but seeing the familiar faces.

Dr Artem, is Awesome ... I've suffered from cronic joint pain most of my life, traditional PT has never worked, surgery was next ... I signed up to rehab my shoulder, but received much, much more ... we explored the root of the problem, and I now have the tools and understanding to make my entire body stronger, not just my shoulder.

I've had my fair share of physical therapists dating back to middle school. Including a few motor vehicle accidents and a couple of surgeries, only increased my time in physical therapy as I became older. I eventually decided to take a leap of faith and reach out to Next Level Physical Therapy. I was paired with Dr. Erin, and within my intake session, she answered more questions about my body than other therapists combined. She was able to explain exactly why I felt the way I have for years. Improvements have been made through customized, specific routines to work out the kinks in my body and feel better. During the sessions, Dr. Erin can tweak corrective exercises on the fly to improve my measurements without causing any discomfort. Next Level Physical Therapy avoids the cookie-cutter approach used by several other therapists. The only downside is that the session package price points are somewhat high. But an investment in your health and wellbeing is worth every penny.

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.

Dr. Elyse has been great, informative, helpful and supportive during my time so far at next level physical therapy. From helping with my knee pain, to understanding the root cause of it all to avoid future injuries have been very educational and I’m so grateful. When working out, I’m finally able to understand form, assess any pain I may potentially feel in the moment and enjoy the rest of my session oppose to having to compensate and feel defeated. I’m truly excited to get stronger and see what the future holds in my gym journey. -shea

Since being introduced to Dr. Matt and his team at Next Level PT through my company, Platoon Fitness, I've been nothing but impressed. As a personal trainer, it's incredibly important to have physical therapists I trust to refer my clients to, and after working with Dr. Matt myself, that trust has only grown. I've already referred three clients to Next Level PT because I know they'll receive exceptional care and have heard nothing but glowing reviews! When I first started treatment, my left hip was extremely restricted. I had difficulty moving it through multiple ranges of motion, and was afraid this may really have a negative impact on my running. Dr. Matt took the time to identify the root of the issue, explained everything clearly, and built a plan that actually worked. Throughout the process, he has been encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Now, I'm increasing my marathon training mileage pain-free and moving in positions, that used to bother me, without issue! As someone who works in the fitness industry every day, I appreciate how seamlessly he bridges rehabilitation with returning to performance rather than simply getting patients out of pain. Dr. Matt and his entire team are professional, welcoming, and truly care about helping people succeed. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with nagging pain, or looking to get back to doing what you love, I can't recommend Next Level PT enough.

As a mechanic, I spend most of my day hunched over engine bays or working with my hands above my head while servicing vehicles on a lift. Years of that took a toll on my body, and I came to Next Level PT with chronic low back pain and herniated discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1. Dr. Erin took the time to thoroughly evaluate not only my injuries but also the underlying causes of my pain. She developed a personalized treatment plan with corrective exercises and strengthening routines focused on improving my stability, mobility, and long-term function rather than just treating the symptoms. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, and I’ve also learned how to move and work in ways that help prevent future injuries. Dr. Erin is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in her patients’ success. I highly recommend Next Level PT to anyone dealing with pain, especially those in physically demanding trades like automotive repair.

I love the encouraging atmosphere, as well as the dedication Devi presented to help me walk and run pain free. Next level’s professionals will put you on track to an athletic lifestyle well into your 60’s!!
