About Us

At Next Level Physical Therapy and Sports Performance, we provide expert orthopedic rehabilitation, performance training, and wellness services designed to deliver lasting results.

Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy, all Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS), combines clinical expertise with advanced strength and performance training to bridge the gap between rehabilitation, fitness, and long-term performance.

What sets us apart is our commitment to individualized, one-on-one care. We participate with Medicare for covered services and are out-of-network with all other insurance plans. We made this decision intentionally to avoid the limitations of insurance-driven care—including visit caps, restricted treatment options, and cookie-cutter care models that prioritize volume over individualized attention. This allows us to provide fully personalized, one-on-one, hour-long sessions without compromise.

In addition to in-clinic care, we offer individualized fitness coaching and performance programming delivered remotely, helping clients continue progressing long after formal rehabilitation ends.

In an environment where healthcare is often rushed and standardized, we prioritize depth, precision, and excellence—so you can move better, perform better, and live better.

Our Team

Dr. Chris martinelli, pt, dpt, cscs

Dr. Chris Martinelli founded Next Level Physical Therapy and Sports Performance after seeing too many people fall short in traditional, high-volume care. His mission is simple: help people not only recover—but continue progressing long after pain is gone.

A graduate of West Virginia University and Best of Bluffton: Physical Therapist (2022), Dr. Chris specializes in postoperative rehabilitation and performance-based training. His approach bridges the gap between rehab and fitness, guiding clients from injury all the way back to high-level performance.

As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), he works closely with athletes and active adults who want more than just “feeling better”—they want to move better, train harder, and stay injury-free long term. Many of his clients continue into ongoing performance programming after rehab, building strength and durability that lasts.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find him training for CrossFit competitions or cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Owner and Founder

dr. devin rogers, pt, dpt, cscs

Dr. Devin Rogers is known for helping people build confidence in their bodies again—especially those who feel deconditioned, off-balance, or unsure where to start.

After earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from East Tennessee State University, he gained experience across outpatient and assisted living settings—giving him a unique ability to meet people exactly where they are and help them progress safely.

Dr. Rogers takes a supportive, fitness-first approach that blends hands-on care with simple, effective programming clients can carry into their daily lives. He specializes in post-concussion and vestibular rehabilitation, while also helping clients improve balance, coordination, and overall fitness.

As a CSCS, he works with individuals transitioning into structured fitness programs—making him a great fit for those looking for accountability, guidance, and a clear plan to stay active long-term, not just during rehab.

Outside of work, he enjoys staying active, supporting the Tennessee Volunteers, and spending time with his wife and two daughters.

With a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from High Point University and a background as a Certified Athletic Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Specialist, he brings a deeper, more analytical approach to movement and performance.

Dr. Tom focuses on identifying root causes and building structured, progressive plans that create lasting change. His style combines hands-on treatment with challenging, intentional exercise progressions designed to restore strength, control, and confidence.

He is especially passionate about helping motivated individuals who are ready to commit to a process—not just quick relief. Driven by evidence-based care and long-term results, Dr. Tom empowers clients to take ownership of their health and continue progressing well beyond the clinic.

“Working with Chris at Next Level was a breath of fresh air. His personalized approach made all the difference, transforming what could have been a routine process into a truly supportive experience.

“I can’t recommend Chris Martinelli and Next Level Fitness highly enough. He is by far the best PT professional I have ever worked with. He listens carefully to the needs of his patients and designs programs that simply work. In the short time I have worked with him I have been able to address my concerns and gotten stronger as a result of his guidance. I am not sure where I would be without his help. If you need PT help seek out Chris and Next Level. You will not be disappointed.”

“Over the past 29 years I’ve had 12 surgeries that brought me into contact with at least 8 different physical therapists. My point being that I know and appreciate a really great physical therapist when I come into their care. I came to Dr. Chris Martinelli for some cervical and lumbar issues that were really pretty debilitating. With a mix of treatments and exercise protocols he had me out of pain and back in the game in relatively short order. Chris is absolutely THE BEST physical therapist I’ve ever had. He’s highly skilled and personable. I 100% recommend Dr. Chris Martinelli.”
