About Us

At Next Level Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, we are dedicated to transforming lives through expert orthopedic and performance rehabilitation, comprehensive wellness programs, and personalized care that goes beyond the ordinary. Our team consists of highly qualified Doctors of Physical Therapy who are also Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists, blending clinical expertise with advanced training to deliver results-driven treatments.

We employ cutting-edge techniques such as dry-needling, manual therapy, Hypervolt percussion massage, and specialized post-surgery rehabilitation to address your needs effectively. Our philosophy centers on uncovering the root causes of your symptoms—whether its pain, imbalances, mobility issues, or recovery challenges—for sustainable, long-term outcomes. Passionate about proactive wellness and prevention, we empower you to stay ahead of potential problems, rather than merely reacting to them. This holistic approach ensures you achieve optimal health, enhanced performance, and a higher quality of life.

What sets us apart is our commitment to unrestricted, patient-centered care. We proudly participate only in Medicare, billing covered services directly to them, while remaining out-of-network with all other insurances. This choice frees us from constraints, allowing us to provide true one-on-one sessions—never juggling multiple patients at once. Every appointment is a full hour of dedicated, undivided attention, incorporating specialized and advanced treatments tailored precisely to you. In a world of rushed visits and standardized protocols, we prioritize depth, personalization, and excellence to help you thrive.
