Client Success Stories

I would highly recommend Next Level Physio! I started seeing them during marathon training when I wasn’t quite sure I would make it to my scheduled marathon! I experienced multiple injuries along the way and Dr.Anthony was able to quickly adapt his plan of care to meet my needs and keep me running! This is unlike any other physical therapy experience I’ve had in the past and I’ve had many! They use a unique and modern approach that is highly beneficial to their patients. You receive 1 on 1 treatment from the PTs for the full hour. They use treatments from laser therapy to dry needling, combined with exercise to keep your injury from progressing. I was able to finish my first marathon AND even beat my friend’s time (which was one of my goals). HIGHLY recommend! Was so grateful to find this facility!

I can’t recommend Next Level Physio and Dr. Alex enough. About a year ago, I was dealing with persistent shoulder pain that had been bothering me for several years. It got to the point where I couldn’t do any pressing movements or most upper-body exercises without significant discomfort. From day one, Dr. Alex was incredibly attentive, listened to what I was experiencing, and adapted my treatment plan as my symptoms changed. She took the time to understand what was and wasn’t working, and every session was focused on helping me make real progress. Thanks to her expertise and personalized approach, I’m now able to press and train my upper body again with little to no discomfort. The improvement has been life-changing, and I’m grateful to be back doing the workouts I enjoy. If you’re dealing with an injury or chronic pain, I highly recommend Dr. Alex and the team at Next Level Physio. They truly care about helping you get back to doing what you love

Incredible place and Incredible docs. They know their stuff and straightened me right out!!

When it comes to knowing their stuff and getting you better. Anthony is your guy. He comes in eager and excited to help you feel better, gives you a play by play of what he is doing, why he is doing it, and how it can help. It is refreshing to meet and work with someone who cares so deeply about being up to date on the world of fitness/injuries and recovery. While I wish I could say you will get better in one visit, and be done. Injures sadly don’t work like that. But if you are going somewhere to come back from injury, Anthony is your guy to work with. He is worth every penny.

Dr. Anthony was literally LIFE-CHANGING for my teenage hockey player son who suffered a lower back injury. Before coming to Next Level, I was so worried about my son’s recovery and ability to return to play. Dr. Anthony worked one-on-one with Aidan to provide very specific and individualized physical therapeutic support and training, which was EXACTLY what was needed. Aidan is back on the ice with confidence playing Tier 1 hockey. Thank you Dr. Anthony!!!!!

I’m having such a hard time finding the words to describe how much I appreciate the expertise of Dr. Anthony. I started going to Next Level when I was having hip problems. Within a month, I was feeling much better. The experience was much better than past PT places that I have been to. A month later when I fractured my back in 3 places, Dr. Anthony was the only PT I wanted to see. Dr. Anthony helped me navigate the multitude of doctors and tests that I needed due to osteoporosis. The personalized program that he has been working with me on is bringing me back to doing all the things I love like running and lifting. I couldn’t have done it without him.

I came in with foot pain and one of the therapists performed a detailed running analysis using their biomechanics program and video assessment. Being able to see my running stride and understand what was causing the issue was incredibly helpful. The exercises and guidance that was provided made a huge difference. Not only was I able to complete my marathon, but my foot pain completely resolved. I truly appreciate how knowledgeable, professional, and thorough the therapist was. Thank you for helping me get back to running pain free and achieve my marathon goal. I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with running related injuries or looking to improve their performance.

Quality of care is top notch and the doctors are so personable!

I’ve been to multiple physical therapy groups. Knee & Hip surgeries and Rotator Cuff issues. NL has proven to be the BEST for me. They’ve also designed workout programs for me @ 78 yrs. Everyone in the group has a caring approach to whatever they do for whomever. DanT.

I’ve been an OG at Next Level Physio for nearly a decade for one reason: they keep me on the trails. As an endurance athlete, I don't just need a "stretch"—I need a team that understands the biomechanics of endurance races and the load management required to survive Ironman training. The difference here is their clinician-athlete model. You’re working with doctors who actually race, so they get the mindset. You aren't just a number; you get one-on-one, sport-specific programming that is actually tailored to your body and your goals. From helping me crush my first Ironman for my 50th birthday to Coach James giving me the tactical advice I needed for my first 100k, Next Level is the reason I’m still checking races off my list. If you want optimal performance and a crew that’s as obsessed with your finish line as you are, this is the place. If you’re looking for more than just standard rehab—if you want a team that prioritizes optimal performance and understands the demands of an endurance lifestyle—Next level Physio is the only place to go.

Always knowledgeable and willing to talk through all concerns and modalities.

I can’t say enough good things about Next Level. From the moment you walk in, it feels welcoming—more like a family than a clinic. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your recovery. Dave is an exceptional PT who delivers truly personalized care. He takes the time to listen, explains everything in a way that actually makes sense, and builds a plan tailored specifically to you—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every session is intentional, and you can tell they’re constantly tracking your progress and adjusting to keep you moving forward. What really sets this place apart is the results. I was able to continue my strength program and get back to my sport faster than I expected, feeling stronger and more confident than before. If you want a team that knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about getting you back to your best, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend.

I have been bringing my son to this facility for the past few weeks for PT. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Mary at the front desk is wonderful and so accommodating with scheduling. Dr. Anthony has been incredible with helping my son through his injury. He has been accommodating and so relatable, and my son truly enjoys coming in to see him. All of the staff is warm and welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this place especially for scholastic athletes

I'm a strength coach over at Varsity House Gym in Orangeburg NY and safe to say that since Anthony started to train with us, we all wanted to take a look at his work at Next Level Physio and he did not disappoint. His attention to detail, knowledge and experience at what he does has helped not only myself but the rest of the training staff here as well. All the back/hip issues I've had, he's taken the time to assess me and allow me to feel great while training again. Highly recommend!

I have had five surgeries on my shoulder and have had a *lot* of physical therapy. With each surgery I've had standard physio, the kind where a therapist gives you an exercise to do, then walks away and tells you to let them know when you're done. After a few rounds of that they send over a teenager with some ice. My last surgery involved bone cutting and tendon relocation, as well as a bunch of hardware. I was very concerned that the lackluster physio I'd previously gotten wouldn't get me back to full mobility and strength. I expressed this to my Pilates instructor and she directed me here, as many clients had raved about this place. The first big difference was that my session was 100% one-on-one for the entire hour. What a difference! When doing exercises, it makes a big difference when they are *there* and can answer questions like, "Why is this shoulder exercise hurting my lower back?" They make corrections on the spot to get the maximum benefit of the movement most efficiently. The next big difference was that they weren't rehabbing my shoulder in isolation. They assessed the compensations that my body had done in response to the injury and corrected those, too. The individualized care and attention to detail made this rehab a completely different experience. If I ever am unfortunate enough to need physio again I would not go anywhere else. All of the doctors seem great but my #1 guy is Dr. Anthony Margiotta. I can't say enough good things about the care he has given me. I now have almost 100% strength and mobility in my shoulder which I truly didn't think was possible.

I had an amazing experience with Next Level Physio’s run club and training block for the Jersey City Half Marathon. The coaching was excellent—structured, thoughtful, and clearly designed to help runners of all levels improve while staying healthy. The plan kept me consistent and confident going into race day. What really stood out to me, though, was the camaraderie. The group environment made training something I genuinely looked forward to every week. Everyone was supportive, motivated, and pushing each other to get better. If you’re looking for a program that combines smart training with a great community, this is it. Highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to Next Level Run Club for a while now, and it has truly been an incredible experience. I’ve met so many amazing people, and now a group of us are even running the Jersey City Half Marathon together! Because of this club, I’m running distances I never thought possible for myself. The team at Next Level is so encouraging, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve and feel confident!

Great atmosphere and cooperative staff.

I’ve been doing run club with next level this past year and I’ve increased my distance and met so many awesome people! I have also done triathlons with them and I definitely recommend!

Been to other physical therapists. These are the best! They offer a combination manual and machine based physical therapy approaches. They also offer services to help you achieve new gains. They're all active athletes, many of whom compete in races like Spartan, triathlons/hyrox and marathons/half's. They really know how the body works and can get you back into the swing of things. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for knowledgeable physical therapists!

Love the running group they have! And PT is "next level" too! Happy to finally understand why I am in pain!

Next Level has been nothing short of outstanding in helping me through my Achilles recovery. I’ve been in physical therapy elsewhere for five months and although my strength has been increasing, I felt like I had stagnated. I was set up with Dr. Alex, who’s been treating me with shockwave therapy, dry needling, red laser, and I have felt much improvement. Not only are the specialists at next level extremely knowledgeable, but they’re so personable and flat out kind. If you’re considering visiting them, definitely find your way there!!

Got some great cutting edge physical therapy for a heel spur I have been suffering from. Love how Dr. Alex, Dr. Dave, and Dr. Anthony always explain the therapy and the mechanics of the body. Everyone here is super nice.

All of the professionals are highly skilled, helpful, and take a serious interest in each patient regarding his/her progress.

I’ve been working with Anthony for the past few months, and the impact on my training has been tremendous. What really sets him apart is how thoughtfully he builds programs that are actually sustainable in real life. He didn’t just hand me a one-size-fits-all plan — he spent time understanding my goals, limitations, and lifestyle, and then created a flexible system I can follow whether I’m in my home gym, traveling, at a full gym, or out running. He’s also great at blending strength, mobility, and running in a way that keeps things balanced and enjoyable. Every session feels intentional, and the programming he built for me is the first routine I’ve had that adapts to different environments without losing structure or progress. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, understands the demands of real life, and knows how to build a program that works no matter where you are, I highly recommend working with Anthony. He’s been a game-changer for me.

Very attentive doctors and therapists. Excellent facility.

As a player for Suffern Hockey, back to back NY state champions. Next Level Physio has brought me back fully in a very short time from a shoulder dislocation and labrum tear. Early into the injury I started going to PT elsewhere and the difference between the two PT places were major. Next Level Physio Really knows what they are doing.

I was recently diagnosed with severe rotator cuff tendinitis. This depressing news gave me the opportunity to visit my friends at Next Level Physio. I have worked with them in prior years to rehabilitate a complete fracture of the humerus and a comminuted patella fracture. Next Level exudes the essence of a fitness gym. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Patients are a mix of children learning proper workout techniques, young athletes getting ready for their next game, adult fitness enthusiasts training for an ironman competition, and a few patients like me, recuperating from severe injuries. During one on one sessions, never double booked, I feel like an athlete rebuilding my body, not a disabled patient seeking medical treatment. I recommend Next Level to anyone who wants to strengthen their body and learn to use it properly.

I am a competitive marathon runner and came in for treatment due to an injured hamstring with sciatica nerve involvement. Anthony quickly diagnosed the injury and the likely cause. He designed an effective treatment plan, which got me back to running and I was able to successfully race a half marathon 6 weeks after I started treatment. Anthony is hands on, thoughtful and great at diagnosing root causes of injury so you don’t just rehabilitate the injury but resolve the underlying issue.

The best physical therapists! Athletes treating athletes!

I am pleased to provide this testimonial concerning the excellent physical therapy program provided to me by the therapists at Next Level Physio. I am 77 years olds and came to Next Level with a severely strained lower back. The treatment program that they set up helped heal and strengthen the affected area. I received the highest quality professional care and the experience exceeded my expectations. The therapists and the support staff are experienced and friendly. I highly recommend next Level Physio. Steve G.

My husband has been seeing Dr. Alex for several years and has really liked working with him.. he’s helped my husband tremendously. When it was my turn to see a physical therapist, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Alex as well. Unfortunately, due to my current condition, I’m not a candidate for physical therapy right now, but Dr. Alex was still wonderful..very thorough, kind, and accommodating. Mary at the front desk is also lovely and welcoming. Overall, a great practice and a great experience.

I’ve had an outstanding experience at Next Level Physio. The quality of care here is truly exceptional, and the staff was incredibly attentive to my injuries and recovery needs. Every session felt personalized, and the therapists took the time to understand my concerns and guide me through effective treatments. I’ve seen real progress thanks to their expertise and supportive approach. I highly recommend Next Level Physio to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and professional therapists. They really do take your healing to the next level!

One of the best PT experiences. The team is highly qualified and customer oriented. What I love most is they understand the patient journey - they’re active athletes. I addition to great services, innovation and a modern facility, they have a weekly running club. This elevates engagement and community. The annual triathlon is also a great example of this.

Dr Anthony rocks, super helpful with knee and back pain and feeling super prepared for my upcoming marathon :) really amazing staff, always super friendly and supportive

The Doctors of Physical Therapy at Next Level Physio are Next Level (I apologize for the pun)! They have started to undo the terrible physical therapy I’ve had at one of the PT mills that just push patients through without any individualized care! The advanced regenerative therapies they use along with the 1 on 1 sessions and individualized treatment and training have given me and my ankle new life!!!

Amazing facility. Therapists actually care about patient outcome, unlike most other physical therapy providers and facilities.

Next Level Physio has been amazing! My daughter Emma tore her ACL last September in high school soccer and is hoping to play basketball in college. Dr. Nick Dass was recommended to us by a family friend. My daughter met with him before surgery and knew right away that he was the person she wanted to work with. He has gone above and beyond for her over the last 10 months, and has supported her throughout this whole ordeal. He is extremely skilled at what he does and has tailored his approach to where she was at, simultaneously challenging, encouraging and supporting her throughout. This is a very difficult injury to go through, but knowing that she had such a supportive doctor and care team at Next Level Physio was so huge for her recovery and she actually looked forward to going in several times weekly. The team there became like an extended family to her and we are forever grateful for Dr. Nick and everyone at Next Level. We know several different friends who have gone to Next Level Physio for all different types of Rehab and everyone has been very happy;)

This review is long overdue! I saw Dr. Alex for shockwave therapy for a torn Achilles. I had a great experience. My pain was reduced dramatically after the first treatment. I had a total of 10 treatments and had 100% resolution of my symptoms. It’s been almost a month since I finished up and still doing great! Dr. Alex was very responsive to questions, was easy to talk to and put me at ease right from the start. The entire staff was very professional and it was easy to make appointments. I highly recommend Next Level Physio.

Came in with achilles, hip and knee pain and Nick Dass helped me get back to playing sports that I love. Thank you Nick!

It’s not hard sharing my outstanding experience with Next Level Physio - they are truly next level! From their exceptional responsiveness to their genuine care and thorough diagnostic approach, they exceeded all my expectations. The team followed through diligently with my treatment plan, and their support staff made my journey smooth and comfortable. Dr. Nick, Dr. Alex, and Dr. Anthony, along with the entire team, are absolute gems who truly prioritize patient care. Their expertise and use of cutting-edge technology make the therapy sessions efficient and effective. I felt heard, understood, and supported throughout my entire treatment journey. If you're looking for a top-notch physical therapy experience, look no further than Next Level Physio! Give them a try and witness firsthand the difference they can make in your recovery journey. Trust me, they are worth every praise and more! 🌟💪 #NextLevelCare #PhysicalTherapyExcellence #CuttingEdgeRehabilitation

I've completed the first 2 weeks of therapy. I recommend Next Level to anyone requiring PT. The staff is friendly, and very professional. While they allow me to go at my own pace they also turn it up when necessary.

I recently completed 10 sessions of shockwave therapy at Next Level Physio for plantar fasciitis, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Dr. Alex Geissbuhler treated me over the course of two months, and his hands-on approach, deep knowledge, and genuine understanding truly set him apart. I’ve been to several PT facilities around Bergen County, and this is the first place where I wasn’t just handed off to different associates. Dr. Alex was involved every step of the way, and that consistency made a huge difference in my progress. The entire staff—from the front desk to the aides to the other doctors—was amazing. Everyone was not only friendly but also incredibly smart and attentive. The professionalism and positive energy here are unmatched. I would recommend Next Level Physio again and again. If you’re looking for truly personalized care, where you are not left all by yourself doing exercises this is the place to go.

Dr Nick is the best! He’s very attuned to what I need and how to get there. The whole staff is friendly, helpful, and focused on great outcomes.

Today marks my 6 weeks post bilateral total knee replacement and bone straightening surgery by my genius surgeon. Now ,I am mainly doing my PT with highly competent Dr. David at Next Level Physio, however all the physical therapists are great ! I also did 3 months pre surgery with mainly Dr. David however I worked with all the very competent physical therapists ! I also did about 21/2 months post surgery . The remarkable and outstanding Dr.David and his team are extraordinary knowledgeable, thoughtful,diligent,precise,professional and friendly! Thank heavens I found Next Level Physio! I have a whole new quality of life. If you need highly skilled physical therapists, look no further ! It’s a pleasure working with them and the results are phenomenal. They truly are dedicated to your successful recovery !

In May of 2024 I got injured and received the news no athlete wants to here. The only silver lining that came from this was the privilege of working with Dr. Nick, and all the staff at Next Level, throughout my recovery. From day one, his expertise and guidance made all the difference in my rehabilitation journey. Dr. Nick not only provided a clear and effective pre-surgery plan to strengthen my knee, but he also designed a post-surgery rehab program that maximized my recovery. His approach was hands-on, supportive, and tailored to my needs, ensuring I progressed at a pace that was both challenging and safe. Throughout the process, Dr. Nick was always available to answer questions and adjust my routine as necessary. His encouragement kept me motivated, and his clear communication made me feel confident every step of the way. What really stands out is that I was cleared to play at just 6 and a half months—far sooner than I had anticipated. Dr. Nick’s expert care, attention to detail, and personalized treatment plan were pivotal in helping me reach this milestone. I couldn’t be more grateful for his dedication to my recovery. If you’re recovering from knee surgery or need expert rehab guidance, I highly recommend Dr. Nick—he truly changed the game for me! I will always be grateful for him helping me get back to playing the sport that I love!!

A heartfelt thanks to Next Level Physio in Woodcliff Lake, especially Dr. Nick Dass, Dr. Alex Geissbuhler, and aides (future DPTs) Malcolm, Eric, and Lou. Everybody is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping their clients. I went in for a clicky, painful shoulder and primarily worked with Dr Nick, who greatly improved my range of motion and got me back to normal over several months. Just as importantly, the team is a pleasure to work with, as it’s clear that they enjoy their jobs and the camaraderie of their coworkers.

[2024 Update] I had to return to update my review as I just finished my PT saga for the majority of 2024. This time I received treatment from another doctor, Dr. Nick who was amazing!! I'll be honest - I'm a skeptic when it comes to selecting doctors, but, after discussing my options with Dr Dave (who is now at NL Montclair), I decided to work with Dr. Nick and I'm so glad I did. I came in because I had lost my hyperextension from my prior ACL recovered knee. As we worked through this, we found out I had uneven hips, so we worked on lengthening so that they were the same height. Though rehab took a lot longer than originally anticipated, Dr. Nick was with me week in and week out. He was incredibly patient, has great bedside manners, is super knowledgeable (you can literally ask him anything about the body and he'll know) and will push you just enough. You'll be returning back to your life feeling stronger than you were before PT! Every session he'll reassess where you are, see where you're progressing and will modify your program accordingly. The aides will constantly check in with you to make sure nothing is painful and if anything ever is, the doctors are right there for you to make aware of what's going on. PT is slow progress, but also life changing. You're able to see your body recover from injury or setbacks especially if you have the right team along the way. ALL of the aides are incredible - shoutout to all of them, and especially to Eric, Bars, Luce and Tara who have seen me week in/week out. Thank you for always checking my form, making sure I felt comfortable, and for being my biggest cheerleaders on the turf. The rest of the staff are also great! I've heard wonderful things about Dr. Anthony, Dr. Nick and Mary at the front desk is so sweet. Look no further - book with NL Physio!! ------------ [2021] I drive 45 minutes one way to visit this physical therapy place - that's how serious I am about them! I'm an active person who works out in the gym several times a week. After a month of some strained glute/hamstring pain not getting any better, I went in for a consultation. After a couple of months of treatment, I'm feeling 150% better - I can conventional deadlift even more now than I did pre-injury!! Dr. Dave is incredible! He's patient, very knowledgable, takes his time answering any and all of your questions, listens to your concerns, and knows the perfect balance of challenging you just enough. He works with you to find a treatment plan, custom to you, that gets you healed and in better shape than you were pre-injury. I've also been treated by Dr. Alex and Dr. John who both are great! The aides are also very patient and are by you throughout your entire workout so that you don't sacrifice on form. The front desk staff are also some of the nicest people I know. The only downside is insurance coverage, but, I'd call beforehand to ask. They're very transparent and can check your insurance and benefits before your first visit. Highly recommend - 10 out of 10!!

After an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery, I was lucky to come to Next Level Physio for Physical Therapy. Many thanks to Dr. Alex Geissbuhler’s wonderful care and treatment during my PT sessions and his expertise and guidance in my individualized Therapeutic Exercise Programs. My recovery wouldn’t have been so quick without his personalized attention and expert advice. I am writing this note with heartfelt thanks and appreciation for Dr. Alex and his team at Next Level Physio. They’ve always made me feel comfortable and given me reassurance about my recovery. Dr. Alex is very knowledgeable and experienced. I am grateful to have him as my physical therapist and highly recommend my wonderful experience at Next Level Physio with him and his team to anyone seeking top-notch care and results. Also, many thanks to Eric for his patience, support, and personal attention that he had always shown me during my Therapeutic Exercise Sessions. I am grateful for the positive impact he made on my recovery.

I had a great experience. The team is very professional.

I’ve had a great experience at Next Level. All of the staff and Doctors I’ve worked with are welcoming and knowledgeable. Dr. Nick is a very good listener and knows a lot about the human body. He puts a tremendous amount of thought into our sessions to ensure I receive the highest level of care to help troubleshoot and resolve my injury. Mike has also been a tremendous asset to their staff and has been instrumental in my care. I’ve recently transitioned to a strength training program which has gotten me lifting weights regularly for the first time in years. I’ve also really enjoyed participating in the local triathlon they put on and appreciate how dedicated they are to supporting their local community and charitable causes including the local food pantry. Highly recommend!

Dr. Nick Dass and Next Level Physio have given me the best care I could ask for. Competitive high school running had led to me developing a serious ankle injury. I initially went to other Physical Therapy practices in hopes that my injury would go away and I could be back on the track as soon as possible. In reflection, those other PTs made my injury worse by having me think I was getting better, when really no work was being done at all. I walked into next level with extremely reduced range of motion in my ankle and walked out running faster than I was before. Next level provides care that helps you not only get back to where you were, but get stronger so your injuries don’t come back.

It is without a doubt that Next Level Physio is the best physical therapy clinic in the area. I suffered a massive ACL and meniscus injury that cost me 2 surgeries within a year and I was even considered a fairly unique ACL case because of how difficult it was to get it treated despite constant physical therapy from other clinics and at home therapy programs with the help of my mother who is also a physical therapist. Treatment before Next Level Physio was brutal and I was in constant pain to the point where I couldn’t even sleep without experiencing massive discomfort. I came into Dr. Nick’s care in November of 2023 at month 6 of my ACL and meniscus recovery SEVERELY behind on my 9-month rehabilitation program due to the unique makeup of my muscle. Despite this setback, Dr. Nick was able to get me back on track and gave me new hope that I never thought I would have again: the ability to play volleyball and fully recover. Next Level Physio gave me a fighting chance to get back into my original shape and because of them, I’m able to go through my day without pain from walking, using the stairs, or even sleeping anymore. It is not a joke when I say that Dr. Nick Dass has the hands of a “physical therapy god”. Not only does the clinic have exemplary service and staff, but they also have a good sense of humor. If you’re looking for a physical therapist that knows how to treat difficult cases, look no further and come see Dr. Nick!

I give Next Level Physio my highest, unqualified recommendation. Every person at NLP is caring, professional and will treat you with the utmost respect. Dr. Nick Dass treated me for several months (pre and post-op total-hip-replacement surgery). Dr. Nick always took the time to listen to me and monitor my progress. I believe his guidance and treatment plan helped me achieve my successful, recovery goals. Kudos also go to the wonderful PT-aids - each of whom are studying for future careers in PT or medicine. If you have an injury of any kind the doctors at NLP will take great care of you! Definitely give them a call!

Love this place for my daughter. Couldnt ask for better care after several ankle injuries, everyone at Next Level was fantastic!

Tried other pts for some running-related knee pain before coming to Next Level Physio. It was a night and day experience. Dr. Nick and Anthony provided treatments I’ve seen used on professional athletes that have substantially sped up my recovery time, and gave me strengthening exercises that were actually challenging and muscle-building. They’re all very clearly highly trained experts. Highly recommend them, particularly if you’re an athlete.

Can't recommend Dr. Nick Dass enough - he is simply the best! His patience, commitment to his patients, expertise, and kindness are unmatched. He has got me through 3 herniated discs, my brother in law through an intense back surgery, and my sister through an ACL, MCL and meniscus tear. All of our doctors say it's the best recovery they have seen and that's all thanks to Dr. Nick. Nick tailors each session to his patients needs and there is never a one size fits all. In addition, the entire support staff is amazing. I've never met a doctor that cares so deeply for his patients and is so committed to getting you better. We will continue to use Dr. Nick for years to come. Look NO further that Next Level Physio for your recovery needs. You'll never meet a greater doctor or team!

Dr. Alex Geissbuhler is the best. I’ve been going to Dr. Alex for several months working on gaining better mobility in my knee and managing my lower back pain. Dr. Alex listens and understands how I describe the pain and always tailors my therapy appointment accordingly. He never pushes too hard, but always encourages me to try and do as much as I can with my knee. He is the reason I’m trying a new orthopedist to finally find the root cause to my daily pain. If you’re feeling any sort of way and need to see a DPT, Dr. Alex Geissbuhler is the guy you should see.

Dr. Alex Geissbuhler is the best! His expertise, patience, and compassion to my recovery are truly remarkable. At the beginning of each session, Dr. Alex will go over our last session and how I feel and if I have any pain. We will discuss if there needs to be any changes. Dr. Alex is very knowledgeable about various techniques for targeting specific muscles. He has tailored each session to fit my specific needs. He constantly motivates me to push myself while ensuring my safety and comfort. Thanks to his guidance and support, my family and I have noticed significant progress in my rehabilitation thus far and I’ve only been going for a month. I highly recommend Dr. Alex to anyone seeking top-notch care and results.

I am a collegiate track athlete and had full ACL reconstruction surgery of May of 2023. My surgeon told me I wouldn't run again for about 8 months, and I was heartbroken. Dr. Nick Dass and the rest of the staff at NextLevel gave me an incredible PT experience, and helped me to crush every milestone that came with this recovery. Nick did not hold back, and trained me like an athlete from the start. Each visit was different from the last, with individualized treatment. Each session and exercise is specific to you, and there is intention behind every movement. I never felt as if I was just going through the motions. Nick undoubtedly puts the work in on his end, with the expectation that you also put the work in on your end. Coming back from such a traumatic injury is in no way easy, but Nick and the rest of the team an NextLevel made physical therapy something I looked forward to on a weekly basis. Nick got me back to running in 11 weeks, which is almost unheard of. He cares about your goals, and does everything he can to get you where you want to be, in a safe and healthy way. In December I opened my indoor track season with no expectations of success, just happy that I was able to put on a pair of spikes. Now 9 months post-op in February I just wrapped up my season as a conference qualifier and rivaling my previous PR's. I would not have had this type of success without the help and endless support of Dr. Nick and everyone at NextLevel. I would 110% recommend NextLevel to anyone who needs therapy, and is willing to put in the work. They want to see you succeed.

I am thrilled to share my exceptionally positive experience with Next Level Physio, and in particular, the outstanding care provided by Dr. Nick. After grappling with the challenges of a herniated disc at the L5-S1 level and finding little success with other physical therapists, I am incredibly grateful to have discovered the expertise and effectiveness of Dr. Nick's approach. From the outset, it was evident that Next Level Physio operates on a different level of commitment and proficiency. Dr. Nick's deep understanding of my condition, coupled with his compassionate and attentive approach, immediately instilled confidence. Unlike previous experiences, Dr. Nick took the time to thoroughly assess my situation, patiently listening to my concerns and gathering essential information about my medical history. What sets Next Level Physio apart is the emphasis on a comprehensive and tailored treatment plan. Dr. Nick's approach was not only focused on addressing the immediate pain associated with my herniated disc but also on addressing the underlying issues and preventing future complications. His expertise in employing a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, exercises, and targeted stretches showcased a nuanced and highly effective approach to rehabilitation. Throughout the two-month journey, Dr. Nick consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my well-being. His dedication to my recovery was evident in the personalized care and attention to detail during each session. Dr. Nick not only provided effective treatment but also equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary for ongoing self-care. Beyond the technical aspects of treatment, Dr. Nick's genuine concern for my progress and comfort stood out. He fostered a positive and encouraging environment that motivated me to actively engage in my own recovery. This level of personalized care and attention exceeded my expectations and made a significant impact on my overall experience. I wholeheartedly endorse Next Level Physio and specifically commend Dr. Nick for his exceptional skill, compassion, and dedication to his patients. Thanks to his expertise, I not only found relief from the challenges of my L5-S1 herniated disc but also experienced a transformative journey towards improved health and well-being. If you are seeking a physical therapist who goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding care, Dr. Nick at Next Level Physio is undoubtedly the professional to trust

I have been to several PT establishments over the years and Next Level Physio is number one on my list. They are as their name implies, the "Next Level" in physical therapy care. I arrived there with intense back pain and after a few treatments with Dr. Dave Kwon and Dr. Alex Geissbuhler I have almost total relief. I have already recommended them to several close friends and they are experiencing the same level of improvement as I did. The entire support staff is lovely, professional and the facility is spotless. It is the first time I didn't reluctantly attend my PT sessions. The pleasant atmosphere and obvious care shown by their staff, makes it fun to be there.

I have gone to multiple physical therapy facilities, and I can confidently say that Next Level Physio is by far the best place to go to for treatment. From the front office, to the doctors, to the assistants, every single person is extremely kind and welcoming. As a D1 collegiate soccer player, I have undergone multiple surgeries on my knee and went to NL Physio for my most recent injury (torn lateral meniscus). This being my second injury on the same knee, my recovery process was slow and difficult. However, Dr. Nick was patient and gave me the reassurance I needed in order for me to keep pushing beyond both my mental and physical blocks. Not only that, but throughout majority of my soccer career, I have experienced an unusual clicking in my hip that led me to believe that that clicking was an underlying issue which resulted in my multiple knee injuries. When I brought this up to other facilities, they ignored it and only worked with my knee. However, at NL Physio, Dr. Nick acknowledged it and worked with me through it. Unlike most facilities, Dr. Nick and the rest of the NL Physio team make it a priority to not only work on the primary issue, but also work on other things that may be causing the issue itself. Furthermore, due to my pre season schedule, I leave for school early and therefore, my time with Dr. Nick was cut short, and I eventually had to carry on with my recovery process in college without him. However, he sent me off with a list of exercises to do (for both my knee and hip) along with other tips and advices to get me in the best shape possible. Dr. Nick goes above and beyond with his treatment. He treats his patients with full care and attention, making it clear that he is truly passionate about the work that he does. It was extremely helpful to know that I was working with someone who genuinely cared about his patients. I could not be more pleased with my time at NL Physio and I strongly recommend this facility to anyone looking for high quality treatment with an incredible staff.

I injured my foot in November and tried a series of treatments over 6 months. I wore a boot, I did traditional PT, massage, and medicine. The injury was a tear in the plantar tendon and when that healed, the plantar fasciitis kicked in and was painful. Next level was able to offer EPAT treatment. I had only heard of this treatment for plantar fasciitis after 5 visits to my foot and ankle specialist. I wish I knew about it sooner. I'm not going to say the treatment was not painful, but the pain in treatment is worth it as the heel finally started to heal(lol, pun.). I still need a little more treatment but I have to say, everyone at Next Level has been great! I am going back this week and would recommend them for anything related to your recovery from injuries. They are progressive and offer treatments that most PT places do not offer.

As a woman in her late sixties, I'm in excellent overall health. However, over the past few years I began to experience increasing incontinence. I read about the condition and knew I didn't want surgery and medication seemed to be something that was effective in the short term but not for any length of time. A specialist recommended physical therapy and a friend told me she had pelvic floor physical therapy for the condition and it was life changing. To be candid, I was skeptical that physical therapy could make any significant impact. I just never thought of physical therapy as something for internal conditions; more for a fracture or something along those lines. Next Level Physio was recommended to me and over a two month period I went once a week for an hour of pelvic floor physical therapy with Dr. Pam (Naughter). I was surprised by how quickly; if you attend your sessions and practice exercises at home in between, the condition lessened. I'm also surprised about how much I didn't know about breathing and exercising and their influence on the pelvic floor! The difference has been dramatic and I would absolutely recommend this to any woman experiencing incontinence.

I came to Next Level Physio in January of this year after suffering a severe knee injury skiing - think ACL, MCL, and Meniscus tear. From the start, I knew I had found my people in this team. I am a very fit and active 41 year old small business owner and mom of two young boys, so this injury was devastating! The doctor at HSS who diagnosed me with the tear recommended I start pre surgery rehab immediately, and one week after the injury, I found myself at Next Level with Dr. Nick. If you're looking for a a PT who works with athletes, then stop looking now and make an appointment here. Moreover, the level of personalization here is in comparable. Dr. Nick made it clear from the start that he would customize a rehab plan for me that would meet me where I was at physically while respecting the boundaries of my new post-injury body. I went into surgery in excellent shape, and everyone has been astounded at the quality and strength of my recovery. I truly believe that Dr. Nick changed the course of this horrible injury. At my 6 week post operative visit with my HSS surgeon, who also happens to be a NBA team doctor, he told me it was one of the best ACL recoveries he has ever seen!! I give so much credit to Dr. Nick for this! I am now three months out and have remained in the excellent shape that I was in heading into the injury despite having had intense surgery. I eagerly go to PT twice a week and look forward to the exercises I'm given because I know they are making a difference. The exercises are different each time I go, which speaks to just how customized the program is. No two days are the same, because my body is always just a little bit stronger each time I go. Next Level not only has fabulous doctors, like Dr. Nick, but the PT Aides are incredible - they are able to explain the exercise and ensure I'm doing them effectively, and are genuinely awesome people. Look no further than Next Level Physio for your PT needs - they are the perfect combination of talent and kindness and you will not be disappointed!

The best PT I have found. Very professional and offering holistic treatments. It’s great for older adults with balance problems. A warm welcoming environment is a real plus.

My injury ridden college soccer career concluded in 1999 when I shattered my kneecap in 8 pieces. I have had 8 surgeries in my life and had been in pain ever since. I was recently told that I was a candidate for total knee replacement surgery. Being a new dad, and college soccer coach... this didn't seem like a viable solution. I had been to several PT's in the past and decided to give it one more shot. The Next Level Physio team is not typical PT and I am currently pain free for the first time in 24 years. I appreciate the wholistic, and multimodal approach to the care I am being provided. The NL staff has given me the "Why?" behind the activities prescribed and made me more informed about how my body operates. They have taught me activities to lock in these changes so that temporary relief becomes permanent improvement. For the first time in my adult life I don't dread rainy days, stairs, or coaching multiple practices in a day. I have been given relief from pain and hope that I will be an active father, and able to continue in my profession for several more years. Most importantly, the NL team has shown that they care about me as a person. Their philosophy of Move, Achieve, and Inspire has become a powerful force in helping me prioritize my personal well-being in order to help others. I look forward to my appointments. The time I have spent with NL has made me healthier, happier, smarter and a better father, husband, and coach.

After an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery, I came to Next Level for a year-long rehab. Dr. Nick and Dr. Alex were absolutely fantastic in the level of care and knowledge they provided. They are genuinely interested in their patients' conditions and worked through every challenge right alongside me. The only caveats with Next Level are the out-of-network insurance issues, but if you can take care of those, you will be in the best possible hands. My knee feels great and I'm excited to return to the track. Thank you to everyone at Next Level!

Something really great happens when you find you don’t have to struggle when you get out of bed, and you can go about your day without first having to loosen your stiff body. Dr. John helped fashion a regimen based on my difficulties. He does it with a great sense of humor, lots of encouragement and a personal exercise program to enhance my abilities. He spends up to an hour, at each session, going over the exercises making sure I do them correctly, and making sure the intensity fits my needs. He will follow up with my progress as I complete my sessions. He is highly professional, and he is ready when I come for my appointment. He has definitely made me much more aware of how important it is to build strength “at my age”. (My words, not his) I am so glad I was at the Morrisville Aquatic Center to see his presentation. I wish you success with your running, biking and swimming, Dr. John. You truly inspire! Raymonde K

Best physical therapy in NJ! I first started seeing Dr. Jerry for my overall fitness pre-COVID, then starting seeing him regularly again for my shoulder surgery rehab. I've had experiences with other physical therapists but none of them measure up to Dr. Jerry. He really knows what he's doing and makes you feel welcome and comfortable in the space. I can't recommend him enough!

Very pleased with my experience there. Today was my last day. Feeling good, will return when needed. I will recommend this rehab and it’s personnel. Thanks,Bruce

After seeking help from several other options, I came into NLP a desperate and broken, woman who needed to get better in a short 4 weeks to run the Chicago Marathon! Dr Nick not only remedied my initial symptoms, which allowed me to run Chicago; continuous work has brought me to the next level in my running. My plantar fasciitis had me almost sidelined, which was devastating for me as I run to maintain my mental health. I am now scheduling marathons back-to-back for the next 18 months, with confidence as I am feeling stronger and stronger every day!! I love everyone at NLP in Woodcliff Lake, NJ - they've become family!!

In only 5 sessions, my knee has gone from hugely swollen to a ten minute test run with no pain or giving out. John and I had great conversations. I enjoyed everything about the therapy, even when he was “killing me!”

I have been a patient at Next Level Physio for roughly a year and have worked with all the physical therapists and staff. Without a doubt, I wouldn't trust any other clinic to rehab my injuries. The staff is very kind, welcoming, accommodating, and they listen to feedback. If something is uncomfortable, they lay off. Anytime I have a question or concern, it's met with sincerity and useful information. I've been here for my shoulder, neck, back, and hip injuries pre/post op. When I first walked in during my 2021 triathlon season, I had pain, stiffness, and instability in my shoulders and hips. However, within two months, I was able to get back to training and qualify for nationals soon after. Thanks to the expertise of the PTs at Next Level and the support of the staff, I was able to manage thoracic outlet syndrome in my shoulder and swim again after years out of the pool. I'm back now for post-op labral and FAI repair after attempting months of conservative treatment. The pre-op PT at Next Level Physio drastically reduced the hip pain I should have experienced post-op. Thank you to everyone here for making me feel welcome and taking care of my injuries.

I was able to cure my arthritis and all kind of pain by using a special colon cleanse named desintrix plus and applying food grade. Astor oil to all my joints. No cows milk or milk products no red meat no processed foods

I came to Next Level after suffering an ACL tear while playing division l college lacrosse and I could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone who works there from the physical therapists, to the front desk staff, to the aids that take you through your exercises, are truly rooting for you and make it a very personalized experience. Everyone kept me laughing and smiling through a challenging time. Next Level has allowed me to return to school and the lacrosse field with full confidence in my knee and feeling stronger than ever before. I recommend Next Level to any athlete looking to return to the field after injury. They will push you and get you back to feeling like an athlete again while making the process truly enjoyable. I cannot thank Next Level enough for their care and support throughout my time there and for getting me back to playing the sport I love.

Next Level Physio goes above and beyond to provide excellent care! I am a Division 1 gymnast and injured my knee this past fall while training during preseason. Without proper care at school, I was expected to compete after months on crutches, causing me to lose most of the strength and power in my left leg. I started with Next Level and Dr. Nick at the end of June squeezing in only two months of physical therapy before returning to school. The results were incredible! Not only am I able to tumble and lift again, but I can jump twice as high as before. Next Level's sports oriented care combined with their hopeful and inspiring atmosphere has made for a smooth recovery process. I would recommend Dr. Nick to any athlete struggling with injury. His eagerness to learn about gymnastics and help guide me through exercises benefitting my competition routines was crucial to my recovery. Because of Dr. Nick I can return to the sport I love and am itching for this upcoming season. Thank you Dr. Nick!

If you are an athlete this is the place for you I am currently a student athlete going into my first year of collegiate sports, and I came here looking to treat a Sports Hernia. I started PT here at the beginning of July, and I can't be any happier with my results. I was a little skeptical at first as i've been to three other places and left with more pain than I came in with. However, that wasn't the case when I began working with Dr. Nick. Not only did he help me rehab the injury, he even went down to the root of how everything started, and how I can prevent it for the future. After only 5 weeks of PT, and after a year of pain, I finally feel ready to compete again. Thank you Dr. Nick and your incredibly sharp elbows!

The next level team is absolutely fantastic! Their 1 on 1 approach allows them to treat each patient with great care and tend to specific needs. I've been coming to next level for the past 5 years and the team has always been able to help my pain, make me stronger, and provide a fun/ encouraging atmosphere. I've been to many PTs and there is no place better than next level!

Next level physio takes pt to another level. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Dr David Kim treated me and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with not only helping me identify my problems but also teaching me about my body and why It was acting the way it was. I’ve been seeing physical therapist’s and chiropractor’s for years and I got more out of one session with Dr. Dave then I have got through years of treatment. I was told things I’ve never heard and he helped me feel better after the very first visit. I was skeptical at first but after seeing my range of motion and pain drastically improve after one of his sessions I was amazed.

While I have only been going to Next Level for a few weeks, working with Dr. Dave has been an absolute pleasure. His level of care and concern for his patients is top-tier, and his approach to helping me reduce pain and get back to doing the things I love has been greatly more effective than other PT providers.

After taking a fall which messed up my right knee and left shoulder, I went to Next Level for PT. John Mendenhall took me under his care and after 11 visits, I was feeling like new again, considering my age of 75. Anyway, I've decided to continue exercises at home, using the gravity straps, stationary bike and treadmill. John has a very nice area there at his location and appears to be equipped to handle any and all types of PT requirements.

Love the staff here. I’ve been to many PT places, originally in a quest to find a place that didn’t just rehab my athlete kids but also understood athletic conditioning. Found Next Level a few years ago and despite it being a good 30 mins away, I go here instead of the several PT places within 5 mins of my house. Dr. John, as a swimmer, understands the mechanics of what my teens do in the water and how to help them not just heal, but improve strength and range of motion and build the muscle needed to help them avoid injury. But the whole staff is incredible. Everyone at the front desk is welcoming and genuinely friendly. The drs are all active in one way or another, and understand the movements of athletes. The best is the camaraderie amongst the staff itself: they go out together, joke around, and you can tell it’s a really pleasant working environment. With all that said though, everyone is professional and does a great job of guiding you through the necessary movements to help you to improve. I go there myself now too and no matter what your level of fitness is everyone is treated with respect and to achieve the same goal: a pain-free existence.

I have been going to next level for over a year. I had gone there for my back and after a short time it was feeling better. They helped me with my breathing which was always a problem since I was young. I started running when I was 28 to help my asthma and stop taking inhalers which weren't really helping me back then. Now with all the core and deep breathing exercises they offered me. I find my breathing is so much better and has improved my running because of it. Also I know my form is better because of the attention they give to the whole body. I can't thank them enough... and it was a bright spot for me even during the crazy pandemic we are all going through. I have offered it to a friend and he was so glad I did. So thanks to the amazing staff... and of course to Dr. Pam and Dr. Alex for putting me on a much better road for the future.

I recently started PT at Next Level with Dr Alex. I have been to many PT facilities & this is like no other. They really want to ensure that you get well & back to an active Life Style. The Dr's & staff are very knowledgeable & are really concerned about your care. Dr Alex is great! My only concern was about cost & insurance. Don't think the Dr/Pt should be put in that position to discuss with a patients. That should be done prior to your appointment or at least in a private environment, not at the front desk.While I understand & sympathize with the managed care nightmare for providers, there's some need for improvement with how they handle that.

My wife had great success with Dave @ Next Level Physio, but I was a stubborn and reluctant 70 year old. Physical Therapy was for hip or knee replacements, not silly old tennis elbow. Now I tell everyone about Next Level more than she does! Drs Dave and Pam worked with me for about 2 months with their therapies and exercises . I was convinced my tennis (pickleball elbow) would return. Wrong again. I've been playing 2-3 times a week pain free and continue to do the exercises at home. Thanks for putting me back " in the game".

Next level Physio has taken me from injured to active in a timely fashion, all while helping me to gain more knowledge about therapeutic exercises and nutrition to help improve my overall health and wellness. The staff is tremendously knowledgeable and the environment at Next Level is very commodious as all patients are very well accommodated. As a former athlete and current service member, it is not uncommon for me to sustain injuries of a wide variety however, I know that I have trusted physical therapists that will work to get me back in optimal condition to perform my duties. I couldn’t me more satisfied with the staff at Next Level Physio and the quality of health and fitness they have helped me to achieve. Highly recommended.

The best PT ever!! Pam, Dave, John, and Alex , all have a little different style, but whoever worked on me knew what was going on with me and worked their magic.After trying 2 other physical therapy places, I would only go back to Next Level .Great staff that makes sure you are doing exercises correctly. I recommend Next Level highly.

Pam was terrific and helped get me on track with my hip

-By far the VERY BEST PT Practice I have ever attended out of half-a-dozen others over many years of therapy for various issues. -They are a most caring and knowledgeable group of people, and they get results !

I had originally come to Next Level for a knee injury. . I was extremely happy with the results because I was able to avoid surgery. Several months later, I was involved in a horrific bicycle accident which left me with severe injuries. My hamstring was torn off the bone, my shoulder has significant damage including a Grade 4 separation just to name a couple. Being an athlete, I was extremely comfortable coming back here because the majority of this entire staff are athletes as well. They have great empathy for those who are hurt and they truly want to you rehab to get back to what they were doing prior to being injured. They hold me accountable for the work I put in and outside of the center. I have come a LONG way in a short period of time and they are a huge part of my recovery. My goal is to get back to doing a triathlon again. I am CONFIDENT!

Jerry and his entire team are truly experts at diagnosing the issue and creating a “just right” plan to get you up and running again. I can’t say enough about the attention I receive and the care provided when I walk through their doors! Great job everyone!!!!

Love these guys! Great individual, genuine, care.

Wonderful experience at Next Level Physio. Highly recommend it from personal experience. Has amazing staff that cares about you, your health, your goals and genuinely wants to help you achieve your maximum potential. Great facility for training and rehab. Utilizes the latest technology and treatments to accelerate your rehab and performance, e.g., run DNA, light therapy, blood flow restriction, cupping and many others. Offers numerous health options for all ages, and abilities such as training programs and a triathlon team. I've received amazing treatment for my ailments and have been fully supported to achieve my goals by everyone at Next Level.

Great staff and atmosphere. I felt very taken care of. I highly recommend this Therapy office. It has everything! Thanks so much guys!

If you are looking for a physical therapy group, go no further. Time and time again this group has been able to get me back to running where a half dozen other PT clinics could not. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and create a wonderful lighthearted atmosphere. I truly cannot recommend this place enough, whether you are an athlete or not.

I knew as soon as the intake interview/evaluation was done that this was the right place for me. From there, Dr. Pam worked on my aches and pains and gave me exercises and stretches that fit my needs. After the PT was finished, I continued with an exercise program designed by Dr. Pam to strengthen my weaknesses, and work towards my goals. I am so grateful for the knowledge and patience of everyone at Next Level!

The staff at Next Level Physio are really best in class. I have been going in for the past few months in order to strengthen my knee and improve my physical health overall in preparation for a big day. My body feels better than ever and I have only Next Level Physio to thank for this. I highly recommend Next Level Physio for any physical therapy and training needs.

Dr. Jerry and his team at Next Level Physio provide amazing care to active people around the Bergen county. Their treatment philosophy and the high quality care is what set them apart of all the other PT clinics in the area. If you are invested in your well-being, this is the clinic for you.

Next Level Physio provides individualized, high quality physical therapy. The personalized attention and genuine care set them apart. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and fun. I highly recommend them!!

Great care! Attentive to patient needs, constantly looking at creative solutions to address injuries. You also get a great overall workout, with many various exercises to strengthen. PT with patient time is significantly more than other places, and everyone is trained to make sure your accurately doing exercises.

The team at Next Level Physio is amazing!! Even more important than how they have helped me heal from injury is how they have worked with me to continue to be active and prevent new injuries. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Have been treated for many different injuries over the past several years by the excellent doctors at Next Level and every time they have helped me tremendously! All of my family members have had positive experiences there as well. Don't live with nagging injuries, go get fixed up at Next Level!

This is not your ordinary physical therapy clinic. Unlike many other "bigger name" physical therapy clinics, you'll never feel like you're part of some rushed cookie cutter assembly line when you come to Next Level. All of the therapists in this clinic are of a top tier caliber who not only spend a lot of time with you and develop a program specific to your personal goals/needs, but you can truly feel how much they care about your progress! Be prepared to work hard and you'll get the most out of every visit. I literally recommend Next Level to all of my friends and family for their physical therapy needs.

The best way to describe Next Level Physio is to just look at their name. This physical therapy clinic provides superior care to every patient that walks through their door. The engagement between the staff and the patients is unlike anything I have seen. The entire team at Next Level Physio are professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. When I first arrived to Next Level, I felt intimidated by all the equipment and the gym setting. After my first session meeting with the DPT, I felt confident that this was the place for my recovery. Little did I know, that after that first day at Next Level, would change my life. They have inspired me to lead an active lifestyle and reach BEYOND my personal goals. Because of Next Levels Inspiration, I lost 70lbs and reached my life-long desired weight. There is no reason to think twice about choosing Next Level Physio because they are the ultimate clinic to reach your goals!

I have come in as a patient multiple times and every time I've come out of Next Level stronger and healthier than when I first walked in through the door.

I am so thankful for the Next Level staff for not only helping treat my injury in such a short time before going back to school but also for ensuring our health and safety through out COVID. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The gym is keep spotless and is visibly being cleaned and sanitized. Can’t go wrong by coming to Next Level for any of your PT and fitness needs.

So glad to have found Next Level Physio for my son. We have been with Dr. John for over 3 years and he has handled all his physical therapy needs from his shoulders to his knees. My son is a competitive swimmer and Dr. John has an extensive athletic background, so he is a perfect fit for us. He was able to use his knowledge in swimming and tailor my son’s physical therapy to his needs. Thanks for all the years that you’ve been there for us! We look forward to many more years with you guys!

Love Next Level Physio! I’ve been a patient for years and whenever I have an issue, they work hard to put me back together! Always willing to go above and beyond to fix the problem and help you get back to doing what you love!

Based on a recommendation, I brought my son to Next Level. He had been experiencing discomfort while running. The team did a great initial evaluation of his physique and built a PT program specifically geared towards his needs. They were attentive and communicated with him directly on what he needed to do, which isn't always easy with a teen. He worked through his challenges and had a great season. Would def] recommend Next Level for athletes of all ages and skills.

Next Level has been an integral part of my recovery from a traumatic orthopedic injury. The entire staff is professional and friendly (which is so refreshing). Each therapist who’s worked with me has been extremely knowledgeable and contentious. The one-on-one time with both the therapist and the pt assistant is invaluable. The time taken with me is thorough and I always leave feeling better. Thank you, Jerry, Dave and everyone at Next Level!

Best place I have been for physical therapy very professional. Dave 2.0 helped me get out of pain and return to crossfit pain free in a short period of time. He is the man.

I have been to several PT places and Next Level Physio is different. Not wasting time on superficial modalities, David Kwon does hands-on body work and then stays with me for beneficial exercises. Working on balance and strength issues after a stroke, David Kwon and his assistant, David Kim, have been caring, trust-worthy and helpful. I am improving thanks to their attention to my needs.

solid. Very thorough with COVID precautions. Really enjoyed my experience there!

Everyone is welcoming and kind. From the moment you walk in, you feel at ease. Dr. Pam is AMAZING. I have struggled with my knee for years and have had 2 surgeries and have one more pending. I saw Dr. Pam soon after my second surgery and had little hope in regaining my ability to bend my knee or walk without a cane. A month and a half later and not only am I walking without a cane, I can bend my knee! They focus on your needs and work to achieve your realistic goals. I am absolutely grateful to Dr. Pam and highly recommend Next Level Physio!

Next Level Physio provides the highest level of care from the minute you walk in the door. The staff is super welcoming and knowledgeable. When you are there they give you what feels like 100% of their attention until the minute you walk out to offer the most personal and overall best experience. Not only that, but they are always going above and beyond for their patients. During the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak when my brothers and I couldn’t go in due to the risk of exposure, they were able to come to out house to work with us so we could continue getting the treatment we needed.

Next Level is a great facility, the people are kind and welcoming and the environment is exactly what you need when you're trying to get better. I hurt my back and saw Dr. Jerry. He was wonderful as were all the therapists/trainers there that I worked with to get better!

Have not had a need to go recently, since they did such a great jog healing my ailments. Best PT my family and I have EVER been to. Jerry, John and the rest of the crew are excellent, creative, sharp and enjoyable to be around. I only recommend this facility, need I say more...

This is my first time coming to Next Level Physio. From the first visit Dr Pam was welcoming and did a comprehensive assessment of my injury. Dr Pam did a variety of treatments to address my injury and a lot of thought went into her strategy at every step. She consulted me along the way and helped me get back to training. Dr Pam and Dr Jerry run an amazing center.

Terrific place for physiotherapy. Dr. Jerry is very professional and knowledgeable. He creates a unique plan for each person and increases the intensity or type of exercises as you get better. His staff is very talented as well. Highly recommend this place.

They have given me the ability to help keep up with my kids. I attend their group workout sessions in the morning 5 days a week. The trainers will challenge you, motivate you, and always keep you guessing when it comes to the work outs. This place truly wants to build a community who loves working out together. The staff is always fun and caring. This is a great place to start no matter what level your at and will provide the "want" in wanting to continue to come back. I've enjoyed three years of hard work and fun with this group and look forward to many more. These are great people!

Next Level Physio is hands down THE BEST! In addition to them coming highly recommended by a trusted friend, I did my research and interviewed several PT practices before deciding, and I'm so glad I chose Next Level!! I'm recovering from spine surgery and wasn't going to trust my rehab to just anyone. Dr. Jerry and his staff are exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, and totally committed to excellent patient care. Dr Jerry is super smart, caring, and laser focused on my treatment and progress. He has been absolutely key to my recovery. Dr John, Dr Pam, and the rest of the staff are equally as amazing. This is not your typical PT practice just rotating patients in and out. I consistently see this skilled team treating patients ranging from adolescents to elderly patients to elite athletes, always with one on one care, and great attention to detail and communication. This team of professionals is a very supportive and friendly group, and I really enjoy working through my PT with them in the health & fitness minded environment they've created. This practice is very well run, extremely organized, and super clean. I really can not state strongly enough what a STAND OUT PLACE THIS IS!!!

Top quality physical therapy. I am a distance runner and while training for the NYC marathon I sustained an injury to my abductors 8 weeks out from the marathon. Jerry and the team at Next Level Physio got me back to my road running training within two weeks. In between I was able to train on the alter g machine. The Next Level Team taught me how to strength train, showed me mobility exercises and 5 weeks later I ran my PR at a half marathon, beating my last PR by nearly two minutes. Theres fitness and conditioning classes, personal training and more. Cant say enough good things about the quality of work and dedication to athleticism.

By far the best physical therapy practice! From atmosphere, to staff, to patient care, there is no better practice to address your physical needs. If you want to feel better, perform better, or take your physicality further, you must come here!

I started out at a basic Physical Therapy gym where the trainers gave me the same boring stretching and simple weight lifting exercises for almost 3 months. I remember being discouraged to go to the gym because of how weak I was. When I started my time at Next Level Dr. John and the staff got me up to speed in just one session. They put all of their effort into making sure their clients are on the right track to 100% recovery, not 50% like the regular physical therapy offices. The workouts they give are unlike any other, no matter what speed or strength you are at the team will do their best to make sure you are sweating and feeling great after a nice workout. After going there I finally started going back to the gym and even when I have issues there I always go back to the staff at Next Level and they can provide detailed instructions on how and what you should be doing to resolve the issue. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone with any sort of aches or pains, this is the spot to go. For athletes and all ages this place is the best.

I welcome this opportunity to post a review of NextLevel Physio, where I received what I found to be an intelligent and really responsive regimen of PT earlier this year. Dr. Jerry and Dr. Pam were personally welcoming, and were receptive, sensitive and totally professional in our initial consultation. I worked on my PT issues with the wonderful Dr. Pam , who made daily modifications on my therapeutic plan, according to where I was up to. While I was there I observed the practice training young athletes as well as addressing the PT concerns of all ages and types. A really nice bunch of people who were assistants and Yvonne at the desk always cheerful and helpful. Sending my thanks and endorsement...

I highly recommend Next Level Physio for your PT needs. Dr. John and the rest of the staff are so warm, professional, and caring. I couldn't be happier with my progress and results. Thank you!

Our experience at Next Level Physical Therapy has been nothing short of exceptional. This facility is an attractive, clean, inviting, well equipped and staffed environment. The courtesy of the front desk staff, Yvonne, the professionalism and knowledge displayed by the PT’s and the PT techs are all wonderful. Dr. Jerry, Dr. John, and Dr. Pam are all terrific. Dr. John was our therapist and we have to say that he is a great listener, is very knowledgeable and professional and he gave us the exercises and used other modalities to rehab my very stiff ankle from a previous injury and also helped improve my husband’s hip and back issues. He did an excellent job and he showed sincere patient concern. We are both very impressed with the program that was recommended for our recovery. We highly recommend this physical therapy facility to anyone who needs therapy. We attest to our positive results. It’s a very well run practice and John did an outstanding job with the two of us.

Anyone who has set foot in this place knows it is the best physio clinic in the area. This team of DPTs, coaches, and physios is elite, knowledgable, welcoming, and "does it all". In my several months there, I have seen infants, children, adults, and more experienced individuals. Whether you are recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic physical ailment, or wanting to break personal performance records, the team at Next Level with enthusiastically get you to wherever you want or need to go. This review is mostly for the athletes looking for a physical therapist. I walked into their facility in August 2018 with a chronic hamstring injury. I simply wanted to go from pain-stricken to pain-free, but the Next Level team had different plans for me. They treated my injury with cutting edge technology and techniques to expedite the healing process and put me through a strength routine to prevent reinjury. As all of you athletes know, it is scary to have to "sit out" and lose fitness, but Next Level developed challenging circuit workouts that accounted for my injury so I was actually making physical gains while rehabbing. When they told me I was going to PR during this racing season, I laughed out loud. Months later, they had me breaking my half marathon PR by over four minutes. I can't say enough wonderful things about this community. Every single employee treats you like family. I love the energy, friendliness, mutual support, and camaraderie that is oozing from every single Next Level member. Whatever your physical therapy needs, please look no further. This team will listen, individually tailor a plan to your needs, cheer you on, and make you a better athlete than you were when you walked in. They truly live up to their name and I am eternally grateful to them for getting me to the next level!!

Great atmosphere and therapy top notch!

I decided to give Next Level Physio a try after my daughter spent a summer observing Dr. John, Dr. Pam and Dr. Jerry. A persistent pain and tightness in my right shoulder had me assuming my condition was something to live with. Dr. John assessed my problem and worked with me to stretch and strengthen my shoulder muscles. In only a a few weeks, I cannot believe the improvement. My shoulder no longer feels tight, stiff or sore. I am so grateful for the relief and help. Additionally, I now know how to continue with the strengthening program to avoid falling back. Thank you to Dr. John and Dr. Pam for your help. Next Level is unlike typical PT centers; I received individual attention and a specific program that I am continuing on my own. I recommend Next Level without reservation.

Highly skilled and amazing staff, pleasant and very professional treatment with every visit. Was treated by Dr. John, his knowledge and expertise is a rare find and his ability to help me heal and improve following a torn meniscus was incredible. I highly recommend Next Level Physio!

Next Level Physio is incredible. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and all of the therapists ensure that you receive the best care. I battled a shoulder and neck injury for months. I tried numerous treatments to try to alleviate the pain. Within a few weeks of seeing the team at Next Level, I was feeling great! I’m finally able to workout again pain free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a physical therapist in the Bergen county area!!!

Beyond great experience here! John is treating me for chronic plantar facitis pain and I can say after seeing 5 other doctors, I have seen more improvement in a month of physical therapy than any other doctor I went to over the past 7 months. John truly cares about his clients and works really hard to get his patients better. I recomended this place 1000% they are up to date, knowledable, and truly passionate about helping others.

Jerry and his team are amazing physical therapists. My 7 year old son had an injury and he has helped him beyond what I thought possible, physically and mentally. We are very grateful for the help and support of next level sports and would highly recommend for both pediatric and adult patients. There is no one better in the business!

I started here for PT on my left shoulder about 4 weeks ago. I had issues with strength and flexibility due to calcified joint. Dr Jerry was able to quickly start a regimen of therapy which included his hands on manipulation and stretching to increase the flexibility and strength training to also help. I have made a huge advance in just those few weeks. The facility is extremely clean and each and every time a table is used, it is cleaned immediately! I am extremely impressed by the level of care, service and attitude of Dr Jerry and his staff.

Amazing experience! Went in due to extreme back/leg pain from an old injury I never properly addressed. John M. and the staff there were empathetic to not only the physical pain but the mental stress as well. Within the first two sessions, I felt progress with the pain and it improved furthermore each session after that. They provide a warm and fun environment which made the sessions fly by! Also, very flexible with appointments.

Our 3 year old son recently broke his tibia, resulting in wearing a cast up over his knee for a month. When the cast came off, he refused to weight bear and had significant stiffness and weakness in the broken leg. The most challenging part was him not walking. From the minute we walked into Next Level, it was immediately apparent that we were in the right place. As one could imagine, working with a 3yo can be quite challenging, because they’re both impatient and do not know why they are there. Dr. John and the entire staff were so patient and understanding with our son that his fears were soon gone. Within the first week of going there, he was trying to “run” and quickly rebuilding his confidence. In the coming weeks, he always looked forward to going and seeing Dr. John. Less than a month after our initial appointment, our son is a brand new kid and has his confidence back to run around like a 3 year old should. I have been in at least a dozen PT environments, and I am quite confident in saying Next Level is at the top of that list. So much so, that I am now a patient there as well. And while we hope our son never needs PT again, if he does, we know exactly where we are going. Rest assured that people of all ages and injuries are in the best of hands at Next Level.

Everyone at Next Level Sports Physical Therapy is very friendly and welcoming. I've been treated for multiple injuries, including a torn ligament in my wrist and a herniated disc, both pre and post surgery. Thanks to Dr. Jerry, I was able to avoid surgery for my wrist after 2 other doctors had strongly recommended it. Although there are many physical therapists closer to where I live, I always seek out Jerry and his team because there's no one I trust more than them!

After seeing 2 Orthopedic Surgeons and getting no results-Dr. Jerry came into our lives. Within 2 visits my daughter was nearly healed from an injury that kept her with limited leg mobility for 6 months. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication at Next Level is like no other. I can say without hesitation, Next Level is the best PT place ever!

Next level fitness is the go-to place for your PT needs. When you enter you are greeted with warmth compassion and real care. They truly listen to your problem concerns and questions. They are not just going through the motions,they truly care. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr.Jerry, Dr Pam and Dr John. With all of their help and staff I am well on my way to recovery from a hamstring pull that has plagued me for entirely too long. They cater to a meriode of people young,old,athlete or not! They are truly great,check them out. I'm super glad I did!

Next Level is without a doubt the best at PT. There is no comparison between the services they provide to those anywhere else. Thank you Jerry and co for getting my shoulder back so quickly, no one could’ve done a better job!

We go to Dr. Jerry for strength training and work out to prevent injuries. We love going to Next Level and working out with them!

Dr. Jerry Yoo and his team are by far the most professional and caring individuals selected to provide the utmost care for all of their patients. I have had three reconstructive surgeries on my right ankle including a nerve damage after my second surgery. Dr. Yoo's personalized program and activities helped me regain my strength and walk again. Without Dr. Yoo I would not be where I am today. He is by far the best Physical Therapist I have had. He is compassionate, caring and goes far and beyond for all his patients. I am so thankful to have met him!

There are plenty of PT folks to choose from. I chose to go to Jerry and drive 1/2 hour each way because he understands the mindset of the weekend warrior. He knows we obsess about the injury and how soon we can get back. He treats the injury with a focus on the activities that you are looking to get back to. His background as an athlete provides the perfect blend of actual experiences and clinical expertise.

Dr Jerry and his team are just incredible. Everybody in there is an athlete and they understand an athlete's mindset. Dr Jerry got me to the finish line in my last marathon and recently helped me overcome three months of back pain. I would highly recommend!

Next Level PT is a very unique physical therapy practice. On any given day you might find a 75 year-old undergoing rehabilitation following knee replacement surgery next to a strong physically fit athlete doing strengthening exercises in preparation for an upcoming iron man competition, and all people in between in terms of their physical therapy needs. I have been a patient of Dr. Jerry Yoo for over 20 years for a myriad of treatment plans. He is an absolute master diagnostician, who has always managed to get me back to a pain-free status. His personality is always warm and understanding. While I have not yet had the pleasure of seeing Dr. John Mendenhall, all I need to know is that Dr. Yoo thought highly enough of him to make him part of his team. I highly recommend Next Level PT!!

I'd highly recommend their services to anyone who needs to take care of an injury or just seeks an on-going performance improvement. The entire team is very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. In addition to helping with regular sports injuries, they took an amazing care of our 9-yeards old young athlete when he fractured his collarbone and truly helped him to get back in shape and keep competing successfully in almost no-time.

Amazing place. I had unbearable knee pain for about 5 years and it limited me a lot playing sports. In one week after they started working on me knee pain GONE!! Thanks to the Next Level Sports Therapy Team I’m able to enjoy what I love to do again with setbacks!!! Thanks guys much appreciated!!

People are very knowledgeable and they deal with athletic people.

My 7 year was in immense hip pain when she started here. She is stronger than before she was diagnosed with toxic synovitis. Can’t thank enough the therapists and trainers who helped her through. Would definitely recommend to all friends and family!

After years of physical activity in the gym, on trails, and at work, my knees began to develop issues. John, Jerry and the crew at Next Level identified the problem, came up with a game plan to correct it, and through their innovative style of physical therapy, helped me return these activities feeling stronger than ever.

I came to Jerry & Crew at NL PT with back and radiating leg pain from endurance racing. Within 2 weeks the radiating pain was gone and I do not experience toe numbness while running. Jerry took the time to perform video analysis of my running form and tailored a strength and conditioning program to correct these issues. I am looking forward to a strong triathlon season with long runs I can finish without numbness. Thanks Jerry and everyone at Next Level PT !!!!

When I 1st went to next level PT I couldn't even lay down without pain in my lower back and tying my shoes was even worse. As soon as I got there he listened to my problems and with his vast knowledge and experience he explained to me how I would be taken care of. He used many techniques that I have seen used on professional athletes. It took about 4 sessions until I started to feel a bit better and from that point forward each and every session I felt the improvement. By the last session the pain had dissipated and I was feeling as good as new. Needless to say I was very impressed by his work in relieving my pain.

The whole team at Next Level are awesome, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for sports injury rehab, or general physiotherapy treatment. The environment is great, with plenty of room for both treatment tables as well as warm-up/cool-down areas, and strength/exercise equipment. Their routines are legendary and hard, but you know you need to do them to get better and strengthen to prevent future injuries. If Google offered 6 stars, I'd have chosen this!

Jerry and his team are excellent at everything they do, and they do a lot! I came to Jerry looking for help rehabbing my injured knee, and with summer conditioning for my collegiate rowing season. He not only completely relieved my pain, but also helped shape a workout plan specifically for me that would push me hard every session, and get me ready for the season. The level of commitment to both rehabbing my injury, and helping me achieve my goals as an athlete was amazing!

Best Physical therapists around! I have been to several therapy centers, either for myself or my daughters, never have I encountered a center as incredible and professional as Next Level. Both Jerry and John are extremely knowledgeable, talented, and creative in their fields. They have hired a team of trainers, each with their own specialty, to help assist you throughout your entire session. I have been going for an injury and stayed longer for their training capabilities and I belong to another gym, but they are worth it. They not only address your injury, but encourage to improve your entire well being. I have recommended Next Level to friends and family and will continue to do so. The environment is warm, friendly and inviting. Don't go anywhere else, this is the only place to be...

Fantastic team, Jerry is a genius!

It's been a long road to recovery since I had knee surgery back in January, but the finish line is finally in sight. Without the help of Next Level Sports Physical Therapy the finish line would still be miles away. They have a dedicated team and truly care about each and every patient. They are extremely accommodating of my busy schedule and are always willing to make time for an appointment whether it be early in the morning, later in the evening, and even on Saturdays. I've been to a few different physical therapy practices and the approach that Next Level Sports takes, is by far my favorite. I owe the Dr. Jerry and Dr. John as well as the rest of the team a huge thanks. I highly recommend anyone looking for a Physical Therapy practice to check this place out!

Jerry and his team at Next Level are amazing miracle workers! As a competitive gymnast for the past 8 years, I have been injured a fair amount of times, but it is so reassuring to know that I have a great PT that I can turn to to make sure that I can be healthy and strong quickly to get back in the gym and also to prevent future injuries. When I am there, Jerry is always willing to try new exercises or PT methods and he is very thorough when explaining what each of them are and how they will help me. I would recommend Next Level to anyone whether they are a competitive athlete or somebody who is looking to build up strength after any injury.

Jerry and John are both terrific!!! They have worked with two of my children (11 and 9) and we have enjoyed everything about our experiences. very easy staff to work with and the kids hardly notice the hard work they are doing;)

After trying other PT places, I became very discouraged with the progress of my shoulder injury. Jerry was highly recommended by a friend and I decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised by Jerry's course of treatment using a combination of cupping, needling, massaging, and strengthening exercises to heal my shoulder. From the short time I've been with him, I have noticed a significant difference in my range of motion, strength, and overall progress. Jerry is extremely knowledgeable, especially with sports related injuries as he is an accomplished athlete and his care is second to none! I'm so thankful I have found you, Jerry! Thank you for your amazing care!

I came to Next Level as a sad, injured runner with achilles problems that had me benched. Dr. Jerry and Dr. John helped me recover, fixed my achilles, and helped me improve my running form. It's a great facility with skilled professionals. While I hope to not need to come back, if I find myself with another injury, I will most definitely come back to Next Level.

No one compares to Dr. Jerry Yoo! I came to Next Level PT because I was suffering through ongoing issues with numbness and tingling in both feet and my right shin, brought on by distance running and spinning. After a few sessions, Jerry was able to diagnose the issue, offer treatment and provided stretches and exercises that I could do at home to help get me back out, doing the things I love, faster (and to avoid further injury). I'm pleased to report that I have been spinning pain and numb free for weeks! My running distance is increasing and I couldn't be more impressed with how good I feel. In addition to the exceptional physical care, Jerry is personable, professional and incredibly motivating. I would highly recommend visiting Next Level PT for a physical assessment, guidance on injury prevention, and to help you move pain-free!

Next Level Physical Therapy is an amazing place. It is a state of the art facility with high quality workout equipment, as well as physical therapy equipment. Both Dr. Jerry Yoo and Dr. John Mendenhall are expert physical therapists who take pride in making sure their patients get the best care.On top of their expertise they are incredibly kind and down to earth people who love what they do, and want the best for their patients.

The most knowledgeable, honest, and genuine Physical Therapist/Personal Trainer you will ever meet. Dr. Yoo does not look solely to heal the injury, but rather to help you recover and create habits to support your recovery going forward. He leverages his own personal strength/conditioning techniques in his treatments. I've been to other clinics where you do exercises just to "do exercises" as part of your treatment. There is always a method or result behind every exercise/treatment at Next Level Sports Physical Therapy, which makes every visit to Dr. Yoo a memorable one. On a side note, Dr. Yoo is also a phenomenal strength/conditioning coach. Even if you are not in need of physical therapy, Dr. Yoo can help you achieve your fitness goals and take you to conditioning levels you never thought possible. Whether you are training for a triathlon, obstacle race, or just your first 5k, Dr. Yoo has a plan to take you to the "Next Level."

I came into Next Level Sports PT with a partially torn ACL in my left knee and simply put, Dr. Jerry Yoo and his team have been nothing short of amazing. Prior to my injury, I was very active. After only a month of weekly sessions, my knee has greatly improved and I feel much more confident in my abilities again. Jerry is friendly, professional, and involved. Grateful to have found Next Level - highly recommended!

Compassionate, caring, and skilled! Thank you Dr. Jerry Yoo for helping me walk again after 2 painful and difficult pregnancies and a fractured foot! Really appreciate all that you have done for me and my family!

I've been working with Jerry Yoo off and on for nearly ten years. He is an exceptional physical therapist. His service and professionalism are best-in-class. (Truth is, I go to him before I go to the orthopedist.) As an older athlete, I am constantly injuring myself and Jerry always knows how best to address it and he provides me with strength exercises and stretches to proactively prevent the injuries from recurring. I always know I am in good hands with Jerry and his highly-trained team.

I had recently hurt my knee while strength training and thought I could push through it until my knee swelled up and I could barely walk. I'm quite stubborn and always feel like I can work through anything. I finally took a friend's advice to go see Dr. Jerry. She had recently used him for her daughter that had suffered a swimming injury. I'm going on my third week of PT and my knee is almost back to normal!!! Dr. Jerry performed a complete evaluation and even used a really cool computer program to help us see any imbalances in my movements. That was AWESOME! He has an amazing way about him. Extremely knowledgeable and, in my case, since he lifts too, he understood everything I was going through. A few times that other patients were there before or after me, I got to see how well he treated his other patients as well!! He's a great person and an even better Physical Therapist!!! I know that he will get me back to 110% and lifting heavier than I ever have!! I've already recommended him to a few of my friends and would recommend him to you too!!! No one better than Dr. Jerry!!!

Dr. Jerry Yoo is a fantastic physical therapist! He provides excellent care and rehabilitation for a wide variety of injuries and amazing training for sports performance. If you're looking for someone to provide rehab or get you to the next level in your training, Jerry is the therapist for you!

Great atmosphere and very professional.

Dr. Jerry Yoo is one of the greatest therapist out there! I have gone to him for a number of different injuries but it all started when I had shoulder surgery for a rare impingment syndrome - within 6 months of surgery I was back to fully working out with no restrictions. He not only knowledgable in his field but he relates to each of his patients on a personal level. Dr. Yoo makes sure all of his patients needs are met at each session. Hands down he is the only physical therapist that I would ever trust with any of my issues.

As there are 2 competitive runners and gymnasts in my family, knowing a good PT is critical. We are so lucky to have Jerry. He is the first person to call when we have an issue, and he always gets us back on track. He's not only a great PT, but also such a sincere person. He explains what is happening, why it happened, and what to do to prevent it in the future. I like and trust his approach to injuries with PT treatment and strength training. If you are an athlete, his strength training is hard, but it is worth it. His knowledge and technique as a PT, and sense of humor make us look forward to seeing him. Highly recommend!

Dr. Jerry Yoo is an exceptional Doctor of Physical Therapy! He takes his time getting to know each patient and treats everyone as if they are family. His intellect and skill in treating the human body is evident as he is quick to pinpoint the issue(s) and provides the best course of treatment (including dry needling). Dr. Yoo's passion for healing and helping his patients get to the Next Level, is clear. He has treated me for several injuries including shoulder's, tennis elbow and even Vertigo. I am truly thankful to Dr. Yoo for the care he has provided which has me back at 100% strength and ability! Dr. Yoo is genuine, kind and humble and the community will be served well in his hands!!

I've had several Crossfit related injuries, and Jerry has worked his magic to get me back in the gym. He's incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate! Jerry's main focus is to get you fixed up and back into the sport you love. Jerry is the absolute best physical therapist!

As the mother of 2 children who train as elite gymnasts, Jerry Yoo has been an indispensable asset for us. His knowledge and skill has been nothing short of miraculous in treating and resolving issues. Not only has he been effective in treating injuries where there was little improvement prior to his involvement, but his ability to identify and correct the cause, eliminated the problem as well as prevented future injuries. His strength training and conditioning has been a valuable addition to PT. Jerry's great sense of humor, combined with his ability to relate to his patients, makes us all look forward to going to PT! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Jerry is a life saver ! I am an active 37 year old who has been lifting weights for most of my life. But, like most of us my form in the weight room tends to get away from me at times leading to back pain. For the last 5 years every time I suffer any type of pain I come see Jerry. The reason being is that he is not only knowledgeable but he is also someone who trains and competes in events such as iron men competitions. In my eyes that makes him a double edged sword. He doesn't just diagnose he also practices what he preaches.

I went to see Dr. Jerry Yoo for a foot injury due to poor running form. In a matter of a few weeks, not only did he alleviate the pain but he did a complete assessment of how my body moves to prevent further injury in all parts of my body. He doesn't just make the pain go away, but he actually gets to the root of the problem so the patient understands what they can do to prevent other injuries as well. We have been working on various drills and exercises not only to help my foot but to correct my overall movements. He has been pushing me to improve my overall fitness and I'm definitely getting more than I asked for. He takes time with each patient and his knowledge and passion for this field is obvious and most appreciated. I would not trust any other physical therapist for my needs - I rest assured that if I hurt something, Dr. Jerry can fix it.

I began seeing Dr. Jerry Yoo after many months of a frustrating injury. On my first visit, he was attentive, thorough and had a warm vibe to him. I immediately felt confident in his ability to treat me. He even began addressing a secondary injury that had been lingering for over 2 years from running. Unlike other physical therapy facilities I have experienced, Jerry understands my active lifestyle. He is eager to work with me in healing while minimizing a disruption to my daily living and activity level. He makes our sessions challenging while providing encouragement and support. My success with Jerry has been incredible. Prior to our sessions, I hadn't run pain free for over a year. In a nutshell, great guy, great place, excellent results!!!

Dr. Jerry Yoo, the owner of Next Level Sports Physical Therapy, is the best in the business. Dr. Yoo has treated my many injuries that I have had from working out and being a runner. He has not only treated my hip, foot, calves, neck and back, but has also helped me to alter my running form in order to lessen my chance of future injury. After I spent over a year going to another facility for a neck injury with no relief, Dr. Yoo was able to assess the problem and fix it within only a couple of sessions. Dr. Yoo works with you to not only manage whatever injuries you might have but also about how to prevent any more and to help you push yourself to higher athletic performance. I would definitely not be in the shape I am today without Dr. Yoo!

Dr. Jerry Yoo is not your regular physical therapist! He genuinely cares about each and everyone of his patients. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and just doesn't "fix" the issue he focuses on your overall health and what you should be doing daily. I have been a patient of Dr. Yoo for almost 9 years with many different injuries. In February of 2014 I had a brain aneurysm and a stroke. After being in the hospital for almost a month I had to go through extensive Psychical Therapy to get myself strong again afterwards. Dr. Yoo stood by my side throughout my entire recovery...and continues to help me to this very day be the best version of me!! I would not be where I am today without him and I truly believe this to be true. He has guided me throughout the toughest of times and I will be forever grateful for him.

Next Level Sports Physical Therapy is an amazing facility with the best equipment and the most skilled physical therapists. Jerry, the founder of the facility, is one of the top physical therapists in New Jersey. Jerry helped me recover from multiple injuries, consistently rehabbing my body back to health and making me stronger than before. Physical therapy is also extremely important for injury prevention, and this is something that Jerry also specializes in. He has helped my muscles stay strong by creating demanding stretching and conditioning plans. Next Level Sports Physical Therapy has been extremely important for my training and I would not have been able to get where I am as an athlete without this type of treatment. I highly recommend Next Level Sports Physical Therapy over any other physical therapy facility.

Dr. Jerry is not only one of the most skillful therapists I know, but is respected for his leadership and mentorship skills within the community. He has a way of addressing your immediate concerns while simultaneously inspiring you to push yourself further than you thought you were capable of. Especially if you are a young athlete, developing habits to care for your body early on in your career/life is invaluable. Working with Jerry will teach you or your aspiring athlete the principles to manage injuries, to prevent injuries, and to take your game to the next level. Check out his brand new facility on Broadway in Woodcliff Lake.

Jerry is hands down the best physical therapist I've encountered in the field! His knowledge of anatomy and clinical diagnoses are unparalleled. Interventions are functionally based and designed to fix biomechanical faults, addressing the cause of injury and movement dysfunction, rather than just the symptoms and building physical and mental strength patients did not know they needed or had in them in the first place. Jerry values health and wellness like no other and prevention is a top priority. He exudes leadership, walks to walk, and above all does so with humility and grace building rapport and trust with patients almost instantly. There isn't a person of any age or with any type of injury I wouldn't send to Next Level Sports PT without confidence in his care.

This is not your typical pt place. Dr. Jerry Yoo, the owner and lead physical therapist at Next Level, has been my physical therapist for 5 years. He has addressed my many injuries I have had over the years, due to the high level of daily physical activity I endure. He has helped me through a shoulder, knee, ankle, and most recently, back injury. Dr. Yoo is a rare find in the physical therapy field. He is extremely knowledgeable, effective in diagnosing and treating various injuries, and genuinely cares about getting you better, faster. The last thing you can expect here is to see the doctor for 5 minutes, get a bunch of exercises, slap on an ice pack, and be on your way. Dr. Yoo believes in the importance of every person reaching their own "Next Level," regardless of what that is. In addition to treating your injury, his practice focuses on improving your overall health. Thanks to him, I have become a faster, stronger, wiser athlete and person.

I came in with three bulging discs and unbearable back pain that made sleeping and daily activities nearly impossible. My PT, Jessi, worked closely with me on a 1-1 basis and was able to alleviate my pain without the need for surgery! Now, I'm moving around and getting stronger every day. Jessi’s incredible expertise and constant smile made a painful recovery process fun and enjoyable.

Over the last two months, the experience of working with Dr. Jerry and Dr. Alex at Next Level Physio has been extremely constructive and positive. Rather than chase the pain, they program scaffolding that progressively builds mobility and strength, creating recovery stages which allow the patient to actually heal and get stronger. Session time is spent in earnest and 100% individualized. As a long time consumer of PT, this practice has been the MOST worthwhile and identified solutions which have made meaningful progress in my multi injury recovery.

I can’t recommend Alex Hirsh enough. When I started PT, I was dealing with ongoing hip pain and instability, and thanks to her guidance, I’m now stronger and more confident. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, creative with how she solutions, and takes the time to explain the purpose behind everything you’re doing. I always felt supported, challenged in the right way, and truly cared for as a person—not just a patient. I’m so grateful for everything she’s helped me achieve and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional physical therapist.

Next Level and Dr Alex have completely revolutionized my approach to running, strength training, and recovery. I could not recommend her and Next Level more highly!. In just a few weeks, my body has been transformed, my chronic injuries have vastly improved, and the aches and pains of being a middle-aged runner are either non-existent or far more manageable, all because we’re treating the root cause and not just the injury itself. Because of Dr Alex I have a completely new approach to running, and it works and feels better than I ever thought would be possible. I’ve seen plenty of physical therapists but I’ve never had a physical therapist so laser focused and take such a personalized approach to getting me back in my best form both physically and mentally. Next Level is worth every penny for true recovery, improved strength, better form, and real, long-term results.

Writing a long overdue review for Next Level Physio. I came in a few months ago with a hip issue that had been nagging me off and on for a year. Initially, I was concerned about a PT being able to resolve the problem because it was somewhat difficult to describe and trigger, but Dr. Alex capably determined what was wrong and set me on a plan to get back to normal. Three months later my hip is a lot better! On top of that, Dr. Alex helped me diagnose and resolve a separate hip issue that popped up during treatment as a I started running more often. Overall, can't recommend the care of Dr. Alex and team enough. Also, special shout out to Rene at the front desk who's super helpful with scheduling and getting super bills out on time for me to send to my insurance company. Just a really great place!

Best physio I’ve ever been to! Dr Alex brought me back from several injuries, including Achilles pain, hamstring and back issues and kept me injury-free through climbing mountains, two marathons, an ultra marathon and two triathlons. This is from someone who didn’t manage to race at all for several years due to injuries. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

This is NOT your run-of-the-mill PT place. Thanks to Dr Dave, Dr Alex and Coach Matt, I feel better than ever. When I found Next Level, I had pretty much accepted that I'd always have chronic injuries from a lifetime of playing sports. This team has changed my perspective. They take the time to figure out your personal imbalances and strive to strengthen you instead of applying bandaid fixes that keep you hooked on coming back over and over again. It's taken work and commitment, but it's been totally worth it. I highly recommend checking them out if you're serious about your physical fitness.

Overall, I’ve had a great experience here. What I appreciate most is that they don’t just focus on treating symptoms, but take the time to identify the root cause of the issue and help you truly heal rather than rely on short-term fixes. Dr. Hirsch is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in her patients’ recovery. She also created a personalized exercise program tailored to my specific needs, which has been incredibly helpful for both my recovery and long-term improvement.

Could not recommend a better place to recover if you are looking for focused treatment and specific training. I have been working with mostly Dr. Alex to treat an old injury and have improved my mobility and reduced pain over the time here. She really understood my desire to get back to running without pain and can say we are on the path to it.

THIS is the help I have needed. A longstanding soft tissue program erupted after my hip replacement, and while "regular" PT worked fine up to that point I needed a much, much more informed and refined approach. Alexandra gained my trust immediately--she understood exactly what was wrong, when I had started to despair of finding anyone who would actually *get* it. Dry needling, electro-stim, and exercises that cover mobility, stretching and strength have me walking properly again for the first time in 3 years. My insurance wouldn't cover this so I paid out of pocket and it has been worth every penny, and then some. It helps that all the folks are just terrific and the studio is completely private rather than a several-at-once model. Super thrilled to have found them!

Dr. Alex at Next Level is extremely knowledgeable and the first Physical Therapist to actually diagnose/come up with a treatment plan that is working for me! Not to mention the team here is very inviting and makes coming in for visits feel non-intimidating and fun! I highly recommend for anyone seeking PT & individualized attention to their injuries.

I’ve had an incredible experience with next level. I’ve been running for years without injury so was a hot mess when I had to take time off for the first time ever. Dr. Hirsch worked with me to keep me moving and to address my weaknesses so that I can keep me running. Having access to a wide variety of treatments like shockwave therapy, dry needling and blood flow restriction has been a game changer.

If you are a runner suffering running related injury - book your appointment with Dr Dave now! I will never go to a generic PT for my running injuries again! Dr Dave was the fourth physical therapist I saw (the previous three elsewhere) and I can finally run pain free!! Dr Dave first treated the pain (shockwave therapy, dry needling, manual manipulation etc), then guided me with strengthening exercise. In the fourth session he had me start doing drills. He made observation on my running form and suggested movement changes in very straightforward layman’s terms. Things quickly improved from there!!

Dr. Alex is helping me so much. As a mom, I’ve pushed off so many things about my health. It’s the greatest pleasure to have her help in regaining hip and ankle strength, awakening my core muscles, and getting back into a body that’s strong enough for what I need to do each day. Dr. Alex speaks with knowledge and curiosity about the body. So grateful I’m in her care! Everyone at the office is lovely and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Next Level has been very helpful for me. I have had a great experience working with Dr Alex. She really listens, takes the time to clearly explain the exercises and makes sure to tailor each session to what I need. Working with her has helped me get back to doing the activities that I enjoy

The smartest fitness person I’ve ever met told me they look for “unicorns.” A unicorn is a PT that understands the body and fitness at such a profound level they become almost a healer. Dr. Dave is a unicorn, and that’s why I come every week. Through injuries and numerous training cycles, he’s a trusted partner in my fitness journey.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dave for well over a year now. His help has enabled me to train safely for my first marathon! He is knowledgeable, incredibly effective, and the facilities and staff are wonderful.

I can’t recommend Next Level Physio enough. I have tried 4 different PT clinics in Montclair before finding Next Level. This is the first clinic that actually did a full body assessment and looked at my injury in conjunction with the rest of my body to make sure that the treatment fit my personal needs. Both Dr Alex and Dr Dave are excellent. The ability to do personal training there as well, has allowed me to build back strength safely knowing that my Trainer, Matt is receiving guidance from my PT about exercises I should and should not be doing. 10 months out from a total knee replacement I’m back to downhill skiing. Couldn’t be happier.

Amazing physical therapists. They take the time to build out a compressive plan for recovery and adjust along the way to ensure you not only recover quickly, but get back to the things you enjoy better. Fantastic team and always professional.

Dr. Dave is truly in the top tier of his profession. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my practitioner. He takes a highly skilled, multimodal approach to treatment and has an exceptional ability to understand the body and address issues at their source. As an aging athlete with multiple injuries and the inevitable aches and pains that come with staying active, his expertise has been invaluable in keeping me moving and doing the things I love. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine commitment to his patients set him apart. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking outstanding care.

Very happy with Next Level, I tried after using other providers over the years for a chronic issue and next level really was Next Level. Kudos to Dr Alex and the rest of the crew who also helped out some of the athletes in our family too.

From my very first visit, I received true one-on-one attention. I never felt rushed or overlooked. My therapist really listened, explained everything clearly, and created a treatment plan specifically for me. Each session was focused and hands-on, and I always felt supported and encouraged. I highly recommend next level PT.

Next Level Physio is the best physical therapy office I have ever been to. (I have had joint injuries and replacements and have been to many different places.). The entire staff is friendly, helpful and professional. My physical therapist, Dr. Alex is so knowledgeable, compassionate and motivational at the same time. I enjoy doing various exercises instead of the same ones over and over again. I’m having knee replacement surgery in a few weeks. I’m doing pre-hab to get stronger and it is working! After my post surgery rehab, I will transition to the personal training that is offered to continue to regain my strength. I can’t recommend them enough!

I had an incredible experience working with Alex. She successfully fixed my shoulder issue, but what I appreciated most was her proactive approach—she provided me with clear, manageable routines to prevent future injuries from happening again. The atmosphere of the clinic is very kind and welcoming. Unlike traditional physical therapy environments that can feel rushed or crowded, the one-on-one attention here made a massive difference in my recovery. If you’re looking for personalized care and a therapist who truly listens, I highly recommend Alex!

I had a great experience with Next Level Physical Therapy. Dr. Alex understands running mechanics, addressed the root causes of my injury. She created a practical strength and mobility program to safely return to running and begin training for a marathon. Exercises were tailored to my injury, progress was well tracked, and I felt supported throughout the entire rehab process. Highly recommend for runners dealing with injuries.

Hurt my TFCC (wrist ligament) during heavy straight barbell curls and Dr. Alexandra has been a miracle worker with Dry Needling and Shockwave Therapies and BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION THERAPY!!!!!! No one and I mean no one knows the body better than Next Level Physio! If you move and want to keep moving then move over to Next Level Physio!

Guaranteed to get great insights from the experts!!

Hands down the best experience I’ve had at any physical therapy facility.I left feeling well informed and assisted can’t thank Dan and Matt enough

Dr. Dave was great! He was super helpful in my recovery from a quad tear. Great service, environment and quality of care.

If you’re tired of those big box PT studios where there’s 20 people sharing 3 physical therapists this is the place for you. Personalized attention from amazing physical therapists—shout out to Alex and Dave. Friendly, professional environment. I highly recommend Next Level PT.

Had a great experience at Next Level Physio working alongside the team, especially David, my PT. Scheduling was always a breeze and even with their packed schedule, we could find a time that worked. I enjoyed Next Level's approach to their patients. It's a good blend of joining together the science, art, and experience of improving their patients' physical well-being. David always pushes for what works for my individual body and assesses from session to session where we are and what progress has been made. There are a myriad of techniques used such as needling, stim, percussion instruments, massage, exercises, and the list goes on. I came in with sharp pain on the lateral side of my left leg and left making PRs!

I have been seeing Dr. Alex for pelvic pain, hip, hamstring and ankle pain. I am a runner and in my late 40s. Dr. Alex helped get rid of my hamstring and pelvic pain in just two visits. I continue to see her for my ankle and to prevent further injury. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Dr. Dave and everyone at Next Level Physio. Dr. Dave takes the time to determine the root cause of an injury and how to properly treat it with various modalities and exercises. He went beyond that to then help me map out a strength/running program to prevent future injury, improve my overall performance, and build my confidence for discharge. I highly recommend Next Level Physio for their personalized treatment sessions and expertise. The front desk staff was also very friendly and helpful. Thank you Dr. Dave, Matt, & Yvonne!

My experience as a patient at Next Level Physio has been excellent and I cannot say enough good things about it. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and they genuinely care about helping their patients improve. I have been working with Dr. Anthony and Dr. Dave, who are both excellent, for almost six months and I have made tremendous improvements in my rehabilitation. From Matt greeting you when you walk in the office to the work with the PTs, Next Level provides a very welcoming and positive environment for their patients. I am grateful for all of the assistance I have had from the Next Level staff and I could not recommend it enough for anyone looking to rehab or improve their health in general.

Dr. Dave is the best PT. I’m a very active person with vacations that include climbing mountains and sleeping on the ground, a job that has me running around and moving quickly, and a love for weight lifting. A hurt back that hadn’t gotten better with rest wasn’t going to work long term for me at 29. On my first consult Dr. Dave listened with compassion and saw thing I didn’t even know were connected but when he talked about what his plan was, everything I was experiencing finally made sense, and I new I would be in good hands. Don’t get me wrong, some sessions were rough, he knows when and how to push you. But with the work, I saw changes and had way less pain. We worked to find the underlining problems and he taught me how to target them so I could move past PT and continue to get a stronger core while knowing how my body moves and works better. I recommend next level to anyone who wants more than the standard PT, they are great people who care about the person and there goals, are experts in their skills, and incredibly talented at what they do.

Highly recommend Dr. Dave at Next Level. I have seen him for a pinched nerve in my neck (which was quickly sorted out) and then longer term for pain I was getting in my hips when running. He’s really thorough and does a great job of explaining the diagnosis and treatment plan. He thoroughly analysed my running style to see where the issues lay and gave me a program that was simple to follow and effective. He’s also treated my 10yo son and is always patient and thorough, going out of his way to be encouraging and make my son feel comfortable and motivated.

I can’t recommend Next Level Physio and Dr. Dave enough! For years, I endured severe and debilitating pain in my left glute and hamstrings, which I initially thought stemmed from knee and IT band issues. Dr. Dave quickly identified the true root of the problem—a tilted pelvis and lower back issues—and developed a treatment plan that truly worked. Thanks to their expertise, I can now enjoy activities like running and even simple tasks like putting on my dog’s collar and leash without pain. They’ve not only given me my life back but also equipped me with the tools to manage any future flare-ups. After years of trying countless PTs, chiropractors, yoga, stretching routines, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers without success, finding Dr. Dave and his team has been a game-changer. Once I started working with this incredible PT team, I felt like my healing process finally began. The personalized, one-on-one approach made all the difference. Dr. Dave also evaluated my gait and running form, identifying imbalances that was triggering my pain. After several sessions, I saw significant improvement and was ultimately able to return to running. I would highly recommend Next Level Physio to anyone looking for a fast and effective path to recovery. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized care are unmatched!

I came to Next Level Physio after developing plantar fasciitis. I was training for a half marathon when suddenly this nagging heel pain would not go away. Unfortunately medications, orthotics, and stretching did not help much. Once I found this amazing PT team, I felt like my healing process finally started. Working one on one with the therapist, We did shock wave therapy, dry needling and cupping. They also examined my gait and running form and were quick to point out muscle imbalances that may be trigger my heel pain. After several sessions I saw a huge improvement and was ultimately able to return to running. I would recommend this team to anyone who wants a fast track to recovery!

The team at next level physio is excellent. From the initial assessment, where they took the time to evaluate my entire medical and injury history, to ongoing treatment; they are totally focused on their patients. The treatment is focused and individualized with goal setting and reevaluations to track progress. They field all of my questions and always take the time to explain all the treatment. Can't praise them enough. Special shoutout to Dr. Dave who is an excellent practitioner and to Matt who is always helpful with all the logistical support needed.

I am so glad that I found Next Level Physio! I've been suffering from chronic pain in by ankle for a few years now which has really affected my mobility and activity level. I was really getting frustrated going from Chiropractors, acupuncturist, and other PT places around town and just not getting anywhere with the treatments. After my first treatment with David I felt a huge noticeable difference in my pain! Since then with every session my ankle just feels better and gets stronger. You can tell that David truly cares about helping his patients and the staff is also always super friendly. I would recommend Next Level to everyone!

Very skilled and attentive staff. David is great, as is Nick. Came in post surgery (PVNS tumors) to my right ankle and they are entirely with me in getting back to running, etc., everything I was doing pre-surgery. No doubt, my recovery is faster and wiser for their PT.

Next Level Physio and Dr David Kwon have been game changers for my rehabilitation. I slipped in my bathroom 3months ago and ended up with a Grade 3 MCL tear. After weeks of pain and stiffness, I finally found Next Level Physio. I felt instant relief after my very first session with Dr David. His experience and expertise are immediately apparent. He knew my injury and how to assist me and I could relax and trust him. My progress is exponential since I started sessions. Not only does he have an exceptional understanding of anatomy and healing, he has knowledge of all the new cutting edge technologies to activate the body’s innate healing capacity. I love my sessions. I feel confident that I am making a full recovery and will be even stronger than before my fall. Also, the support staff at Next Level Physio are awesome! Thanks, Dr David, Anthony, Matt, and Yvonne! I am so fortunate that I found the best PT around to help me!

They are so professional and kind. I feel that every time I go in, I am getting stronger and better. I have been recommending them to everyone.

This is the best PT I’ve ever received. I tore my pectoralis major tendon in September of 2023. Dr. Dave got me right again. The staff is friendly, the PT’s are knowledgeable, and you have their full attention for the whole hour. This place sets the bar for quality care. I hope I’m never injured again, but if I am I know where to go.

Prior to finding this place, I spent a lot of time in PT for individual body parts and came out without relief from my pain and often with additional pain somewhere else. Next Level is unique in that they evaluate and treat the whole body. Dr. Dave is very knowledgeable and patient and has gotten me stronger and more able work out than I have been in a long time. The office staff has also been great about working with my difficult schedule and making sure I can get my appts in.

We love our team at Next Level… Dr. Jerry, Dr. Nick, Dr. Dave, Matt and Yvonne :)

I've had two sessions so far, one with Danny and another with Nick, and I can't express how impressed I am with their knowledge and assistance. I've been blown away by their expertise and genuine commitment to helping me understand and improve my body. It's hard to put into words how much I've learned about my own body in just two sessions. Danny and Nick not only pinpointed the issues but took the time to explain everything to me. I never realized how much I didn't know about my body until now, and it's been a game-changer. What sets this experience apart is the passion that both Danny and Nick bring to their work. You can tell they genuinely care about helping me reach my goals. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and it's clear that they love what they do. And it's not just them, the entire team at the clinic is fantastic. They're welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. It creates a positive and supportive environment that's made each session enjoyable. I can't express enough how grateful I am for the knowledge and care I've received at this clinic. Highly recommend!

My daughter Cassidy had an avulsion fracture in her hip. Doctor nick has gotten her back to her previous fitness levels and beyond. She is a high level runner and her performances since working with doctor nick have skyrocketed and she is pain free. The staff is always helpful and friendly!

I went here in pretty rough shape with a running injury. These folks got me back to top shape and stronger than ever. The staff are pros - kind, caring, and effective. I highly recommend this place.

Everyone at the Next Level Physio was dedicated, committed and invested in my recovery. From the moment I walked in, I felt I was dealing with a team of professionals on top of their game. The quality of care exceeded my expectation by a mile. Having had physical therapy at other locations over the years, I can say with full confidence these guys are the best.

I came to Adapt PT due to a strained hamstring, which led to Achilles’ tendonitis. I have had groin tears, ankle sprains etc. in the past and back, neck pain (including nerve pain), from car accidents and sports. This was stopping me from doing what I love, being active daily, running, playing soccer and many other sports. I love helping my wife and family at home, and love playing with my niece and nephew and have a baby on the way. It was really affecting my mental health and happiness, my work, and my relationship with those around me. I have had a long sports career with college, state, and national level soccer, been through PT and rehab many times before. All my PT experiences have been to treat the one isolated injury or issue, come in do some ice and heat or electric stimulations, do some exercises, see you later. I also have had back, hip and neck pain from my work, which requires me to sit at a desk and be strained for many hours. I would go to the chiropractor once a week or more providing relief but only temporary, not teaching me how to stabilize and maintain the adjustment, so I would just keep going back. I have also constantly been getting injured consistently at least once a year resulting in months of rehab due to sports or exercising and not correcting the foundational problems. I would just like to start with saying by only doing about 15 or so 1-hour sessions over the past couple months with Dr. Dave Kim I am almost entirely pain free! Already running, jumping, working out again. No more back or nerve pain, with a guided program and progression. When I found Adapt PT, read their stories and reviews online, spoke to the team, did the free consultation, I knew this was a completely different experience and type of healing. They discussed the whole-body treatment with me, which made so much sense to me! You cannot just treat the source of pain. They explain everything to you. Active people who had been through traumatizing injuries that could have changed their life forever and they went on a journey to find out how to fix it and live their life to the fullest! Adapt PT has given me the light and knowledge that I can do the things I love for a long time. They go over your goals with you right at the start. One of mine other than the physical aspects was also the knowledge to be able to heal myself whenever pain arose again. I already have put that into practice many times and it has been so empowering and incredible! Second, they doctors are on call for you whenever you need them. I would send David emails and he would get back to me the same day in an email with exercise videos and tips, and or a phone call the next day to go over a plan to correct when I was out of town for a week. Also, for over six months now I have not seen a chiropractor, nor felt the need. The correction in my posture during work and exercise, the exercises and stretches, knowing how to move for my body to be pain free, has made all the difference! The entire staff make you feel a part of their family and treat you as such. My wife is now seeing Dr. Alyssa post giving birth to our first child, as she is an expert in pelvic flooring, and in order to get PT on her whiplash and knees. She is already seeing amazing results! This is a super long review I could go on and on, I am just so grateful for Adapt PT. Honestly if you are looking for a way out of pain; getting back to doing things you love; getting rid of the need for constant chiro visits; a full body treatment plan, and the knowledge to never have to be in pain again, this is the place for you. Wishing everyone the best of health and happiness! Peace!

This place is a true gem. The quality of care that is provided here is unmatched with any other facility I’ve encountered. I am in the health care profession and I was so happy to find an outpatient PT clinic that focuses on the individual holistically and therapists that spend the entire session with you to ensure that you have the correct body mechanics and to help you heal. They are all wonderfully personable and explain everything so you have the tools to continue helping yourself at home as well. I’m so thankful for this place and the therapists helping me to live pain free and get back to doing the things I want to again.

I am 20 years old and I came in with major back pain in my lower back. I had an MRI done and I was told I herniated a disc in my L5-S1. I was in pain for 2 years before I came to Adapt. I did all types of other therapy before coming to Adapt and I was thinking about getting cortisone shots but after coming to Adapt I know that I don’t need to do that. Before my back pain started I was heavily into sports and weight training. I played basketball, volleyball, and ran track. My back pain held me back from doing all of these activities. After going to Adapt I was able to slowly go back into weight training and sports without any pain. I still get stiffness here and there but my pain is a million times better now. At Adapt, they really teach you about your body and inform you about everything that is going on from the beginning. They listen to your concerns and do what’s best for you. I was depressed and lost faith in getting any better and now I have hope. I wasn’t able to do daily activities without being in pain and now I can. The staff here is completely considerate of your situation and they have a very welcoming environment. Caroline, who works at the front desk always greeted me when I came through the door, she was always nice to me and helped me schedule my appointments. My physical therapist Dr. Nick is literally the best. He is highly educated in his field and took me step by step through all the exercises and why I am doing each exercises. He helped me discover the correct way to breathe, the correct way to squat and lift as far as body positioning. On my first consultation Dr.Nick and Dr.Dave both evaluated my body as far as alignment issues and weakness that were causes a lot of my pain. I am now able to exercise again without pain and I am very happy with the progress that I have made. I am so happy that I found this place and I will forever be thankful for the help that I have gotten here.

ADAPT is my fourth attempt at physical therapy to manage chronic back and running induced knee pain. The moment I spoke with Dr. Nick on the phone for my consultation, I knew these guys were unique…and boy was I right. Dr. Dave knows first hand how debilitating sports injuries can be, both for the body and mind. His approach is to zoom out and assess the entire body, connecting seemingly unrelated injuries and imbalances into a story of maladaptive biomechanics, and then methodically helping the body rebalance to return to full function. I loved that despite my 3+ years of failed recovery, both Dr. Dave and Dr. Nick felt confident that, with some dedicated effort, I could return to running, surfing and everything else I had previously enjoyed, but was currently limiting. The work is unique as well. I have never paid attention to how my body bears weight, how my feet rotate while marching, how my body lands after a jump….but now I do. Working with Dr. Dave and Dr. Nick is not just physical therapy, but also an education on optimizing mobility and well being! I feel very lucky to have these guys in the neighborhood and very very hopeful about my athletic future.

In March of 2015 I was participating in a HIIT workout. I had learned a new movement that day that was incorporated into the workout. I was not fully comfortable with the movement but against my better judgment I moved forward with participating in the workout for the day. About halfway through the workout I felt a warm rush of heat down my right leg. I dropped the barbell and immediately knew that something was wrong. What I did not know was how much that one decision would affect my functions in daily life moving forward. I ended up herniating two discs in my lower back. I started off with receiving physical therapy by itself at first. While it helped me I would have frequent spasms that would last a few days and then I would be ok for a few months. The spasms became more and more frequent over time. I went to the physiatrist and began injections along with continuing physical therapy. In a year and a half time span I received two facet joint injections and six epidurals. While they helped I still was limited in my day to day routines. I still could not workout consistently and had to miss work periodically because I was not able to stand up at times. In May of 2018 things got so bad I ended up in a hospital for 5 days, and lost feeling in the area of my pelvis and right lower abdominals for about two weeks. I was released from the hospital having to use a walker and given a bunch of muscle relaxers. Doctors were making me feel like I was crazy because I would be told that my case was mild yet none of these reactions were mild. I mean, I was in my late 30's and had to use a walker! This was not normal or mild! By this point I was at my wit's end. I went to a rheumatologist, another orthopedic, and a neurologist determined to figure out how to get this under control and take my life back. I was desperate. The neurologist I found was quite helpful. She took me off of the muscle relaxers and put me on a low dose of daily nerve medication. Then she sent me back to physical therapy. It was some time later that I found Dr. Dave Kim and Dr. Nick Dass at ADAPT. They took the time to actually listen to me, made me feel validated in what I was thinking and feeling. They did a really thorough evaluation of me, the most thorough I had ever had. They gave me their full attention during my sessions with them and have literally been miracle workers. It was refreshing to have someone actually hear you and show that they care. They have followed up with me every step of the way even in the little spare time that they have. Couple sessions with them and my spasms have stopped and I’m feeling the best I have felt in a long, long time. These guys are aces and I cannot say enough about them. If you are experiencing chronic pain, fed up with the healthcare system and feel like you are being ignored and cast to the side, look no further. These guys are the real deal.

After 15 years of chronic pain (pretty much throughout my body) and countless doctors visits, massage therapy, acupuncture, injections, epidurals, chiropractors, and tradition physical therapy, I stumbled across Adapt. I could not be happier that I did! I am 2 visits in and am having more positive results than I have in the course of the past 15 years. Dr. Nick and Dr. Dave truly listen to you and are incredibly meticulous in their assessments. I’m the type that needs extra guidance and hand-holding, and they are more than supportive. Also, Caroline, the office manager, is beyond helpful and sweet. Everyone here truly cares about getting you feeling your best! Review to be continued as I make more progress!

As a severe asthmatic I had struggled with a lot of pulled intercostal muscles and tiring out whenever I tried to rehab myself back to my previous fitness level. During my first session with Dave, I knew I had found the perfect place! I'd always been active with yoga, pilates and spinning and as a dancer growing up I had a lot of body awareness. Dave leveraged all of my previous experience to develop a plan that fit the activities that brought me joy. It wasn't a cookie cutter approach where I did the exercises on my own with minimal interaction with a therapist. It was one on one training explaining the rationale behind the exercises and why we often did unilateral exercises to strengthen my weaker side. More importantly, everyone at Adapt believed in me from day one which made it so much easier for me to believe in myself. As I progressed through my sessions and saw my improvements my goals expanded. I can honestly say that when I started in March all I wanted was to not be in pain and to get back to a pilates class. I'm overjoyed that I exceeded my goals and I'm going skiing with my family this winter. Thank you so much to everyone at Adapt for creating such a positive, safe and caring environment for me to crush my goals and get back to the active life style I enjoy.

After trying orthotics, message, chiropractic therapy, and acupuncture I finally opted for physical therapy. Dr. David Kim has been nothing short of amazing. I felt improvement after just one session. Dr. Kim gets to the root of the problem and systematically corrects alignment and strengthens muscles for lasting results. My left knee pain is nearly gone and my leg is getting much stronger. I couldn't be happier with the treatment, the results, and the professional atmosphere at Adapt.

Dave at Adapt is truly awesome. Patient, kind, and super knowledgeable. He will work with you to heal whatever is ailing you and also give you tips and practices to keep your body healthy moving forward. I feel like I re-learned how to effectively use my body through Dave. I have much better posture now which is improving my day-to-day wellbeing and my workouts. I can't say enough good things about Dave or about Adapt generally.

If you are suffering from any chronic bodily pain (with low back pain being the most common) look no further. I started rehab with Dr. David Kim at Adapt mid September with severe low back pain, hip tightness, and right knee pain. Simple tasks like picking up my toddler and washing dishes became unbearable. When I came for my first visit, I learned I had anterior pelvic tilt which affected the rest of my skeletal system. Dr. David Kim actively worked on this misalignment through massages with a massage gun before every session, and guidance of unique body alignment cues and breathing exercises tailored to my needs. I noticed a difference after the first session; and within a month of visits 1-2 times a week I was pain free. The body alignment cues and breathing exercises given are also taught in a simple way that makes it easy to practice in daily life. Dr. David Kim is also very thorough with follow up emails after each session so you’re reminded to continue your breathing exercises when not in therapy. I also started 200hr yoga teacher training for Vinyasa. Doing several reps of asanas such as upward dog or bridge pose is taxing on the skeletal system when there is misalignment like anterior pelvic tilt. With Adapt, I was armed with the proper knowledge of breathing exercises to do before each yoga session, making each practice grounded in proper alignment. Additionally each yoga practice is stronger, longer, safer, injury and pain free. Long walks with my toddler and 3 mile runs also became pain free with the knowledge of Adapt. Don’t hesitate to start your journey so you can begin a pain free life too.

Best place for PT! Highly recommend for kids with orthopedic surgery recovery. My 10 year old was post-op and by working with the Adapt team he is an even stronger athlete. Great location and kind professional staff!

I went to Adapt after injuring my rhomboids and T1. I couldn't lift my arms over my head or pick up my children without pain. Over the course of the last year Doctors Dave and Payal have got me back to all activities including overhead presses, pull ups and, most importantly, picking up my kids again. A huge thank you to Adapt!

Adapt provides a unique and innovative approach to Physical Therapy. This is not a "run of the mill" ordinary PT experience where you're given the same generic stretches that are given to everyone in a similar situation. Exercises are tailored to specific individual needs. I have noticed improvements in my day to day movement and less pain as a result of the exercises I'm doing to develop smaller underlying muscles which support my lower back and hips. Dr. David Kim is an excellent therapist who is clearly passionate about his work and helping people succeed in reaching their goals of freer movement and less pain. I'm very happy with the progress I've made through Adapt in optimizing movement and reducing pain and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

I found Adapt on Facebook by luck. I was injured in an accident, January oy 2020. I had already tried physical therapy, chiropractic care, yoga, and consultation with an orthopedic surgeon. The results were disappointing on all accounts. The orthopedic surgeon said there was nothing out there for me other than pain management. The face book narrative by Dr. Pyle was different from anything anyone else was saying and the approach of realigning the body seemed logical. Dr. David Kim became my PT.. Of all the therapies I tried, Adapt and Dr. David are the only things that got me results.The exercises are unique to my needs and Dr. David's perspective of my movements iwas insightful and different from anything anyone else said to me. I entered Adapt Physical Therapy a hopeful skeptic, as there is no shortage of "cures" offered on line once you search "compression fractures." or whatever your condition my be. I can only speak for myself in saying it was a lucky find for me to come across Adapt and Dr. David Kim.

I would like to leave a review for Adapt therapy as Dr. Patel was the first one who was able to lead me to the correct diagnosis in 8 years. I would give Adapt 10 stars as they had been a life saver and delivered on their promise to find root cause of my (8+ years) of issue. When I came to Adapt I had low expectations as so many providers in the past would take me on as a patient but could not provide specific diagnosis or sustainable pain relief. I had suffered from upper cervical neck pain (constant inflammatory cycles) for 8+ plus years that included nerve pain in the hands, back spasms, constant headaches. It was triggered by a small accident to neck, nothing significant was showing on MRIs, and no one could figure out why pain continued on for years. It had been going on for so long that pain was transferring to shoulder/back and even hips were compensating. I was in multiple therapies for years and saw numerous drs (including regular physicians, medications, spine specialists, pain medicine, chiropractors, 8+ different pt drs, muscle adhesion specialists, injections, even had nerve ablation procedures on neck which did not help). Although Dr. Patel did not know when I came in - what was the cause of the problem- she diligently worked with me through the system of specifically designed exercises. After my back and neck were relaxed and specific core and hips muscles strengthened - my pain all of a sudden went into the tmd jaw spasms. Dr. Patel told me to stop phys therapy and go straight to the dentist jaw/tmd specialist. She was 100% right as we found the correct root cause. I was diagnosed with severe malocclusion that was causing upper cervical compression, and compromising my left side. Apparently , for years my upper neck was compensating for the tmd jaw issues and no dentist or physicians or specialist Drs had ever came close to diagnosing me. 7 months later - I am now about 60% through jaw Ortho treatment - my chronic (8 years worth of) neck pain is completely (100%) gone (which is shocking to Me after 8 + years) IndI would not be able to find the real cause without Adapt PT! Adapt pt was a real life saver #thankyou 🌞💪🌟

I spent 25 years never knowing when my back would go out. It would go into spasm sometimes by just putting on a sock or bending the wrong way. Going for a jog, helping someone move or even lifting luggage would be questionable. Chiropractic was great but was a short term fix. Standard PT helped for a while but nothing gave me confidence or gave me a long term solution...that is until I saw Dr. Patel at Adapt. Dr. Patel measured my mobility, watched the way I walked and moved, found the weak areas in my body...all this before she even considered taking me on as a client. After further discussion we set up a program that she felt would help me considerably. I was diligent and focused. I worked with Dr. Patel twice a week and did the exercises at home. I was concerned I wasn't making progress fast enough. Dr. Patel reminded me that my body had 25 years of programming that had to be changed. Then one day it happened. I slept the entire night without pain. I had no stiffness the next morning and I jogged with my dog without tightness or pain in my back. Am I pleased...you bet. I didn't think this day would ever come. I now do things I haven't done in years with confidence that my back won't go out. I'm so appreciative of Dr. Patel and her staff.

I am sooooooo grateful that I found this place! Everyone at adapt is super friendly, and they make you feel at home. I’ve been suffering from lower back/glute pain for the past 2-3 years. The pain was so bad that it would inhibit me from doing my work as a nurse, as well as everyday things like walking or bending down. I also love to workout and lift heavy weights and that is something that I could not do because it would aggravate the pain. I have been to different docs and chiropractors and have gotten x-rays/MRIs but nobody could tell me what was causing the pain. Until I met Dr. Kim! When he heard my story he knew right away what was causing my pain and was able to construct a personalized treatment plan to help my pain go away. I’ve been getting treatment now for 3 months and I am honestly so surprised that I haven’t felt any pain. I’ve been able to workout again and live a normal life without worrying about that pain coming back. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is suffering from chronic pain and hasn’t found any solution!

Dr. Payal and staff are amazing! I would recommend them to anyone who needs PT... but also to anyone in general. She can fine tune your body to run more smoothly, get all your kinks out, so you operate with less pain. Who doesn't want less pain?

Adapt Physical Therapy is a wonderful place. Their staff is second to none, very friendly and professional. But even more importantly, they came up with a therapy plan that enabled me to regain mobility in my feet and legs. Now I am able to walk painlessly for 3-5 miles at a time, much longer than I had been able to. I highly recommend APT for anyone suffering from neuropathy.

I’ve suffered from back pain for longer than I can remember. I’ve tried different routes and nothing seemed to work. Adapt has helped me to identify the drivers of the pain, and more importantly the exercises I need to do to address my problems. It’s early days but I’m already noticing less pain from the routine activities that caused it in the past. I definitely recommend giving Adapt a try if you are serious about getting rid of your pain.

This is a very great environment to work out in. The first meeting was very straight forward and detailed in the plan set up for me. I felt Adapt wanted to see me get better and stronger. The main goal was to get me to self sufficiently get myself healthier. Follow the program and trust the process, which was the best decision I made for myself. Definitely recommend to anyone who is searching for relief from pain.

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve had neck pain for 30 + years due to the stress of my career and the constant use of my arms/shoulders. In this time I had tried everything - you name it, I did it - from doctors, chiropractors, functional medicine doctors, acupuncturists, consistent massages, heat therapy.... it was a constant battle. Everything I had tried would give me such minor relief. And dare I miss an appointment, I would pay for it the following week. It was frustrating to think that my body would not heal when others around me had injuries that would come and go after a few weeks of mending. I sat in on one of Dr. Payal’s webinars and immediately felt that I had not been properly treated in the past. Everything she discussed regarding healing chronic injuries made so much sense and all I had been given in the past was quick fixes. Under Dr. Payal’s guidance, within about 8 sessions, I had at least 90% of the mobility back in my neck and within the following sessions, mostly all of my day to day pain was gone. But most importantly, I was sleeping without pain again!! What a miracle. The key for me was I’m fixing all of my imbalances, starting at my hips and low back and slowly working up my spine until my neck was straighter and less strained. I’m so grateful to have Adapt! Thank you to Dr. Payal and the whole team. We are so very lucky to have you in Montclair!

It is not an exaggeration to say that Dr. Patel and the team at Adapt have changed my life. I have suffered with lower back pain for many years and was skeptical about trying another physical therapist. Make no mistake, Dr. Patel is not just another physical therapist. Her unique approach and technical knowledge are far superior to any therapy I have had in the past. If you want results, look no further than Dr. Patel and Adapt.

A top class outfit. Payal is extraordinately talented and professional. She efficiently diagnosed and solved my long-standing hip issues and gave me the confidence and know-how to make sure they never come back. All remotely! Thank you Payal, thank you Adapt.

When I walked into Adapt PT it was a unique experience; I was impressed by the thoroughness at check in. I met with Dr Patel sharing my story on exploring other independent therapies for several months to rid myself of chronic pain in my back and foot for months with minimal results. She thoughtfully explained how they were going to approach and "adapt" a non aggressive program tailored to my needs. It worked! Thank you Adapt, Rose Cali

Doctor Patel and her staff are the best!! They are so incredibly welcoming and take the time to create an individualized care plan specifically for you. If you have chronic pain you have to try out Adapt you will not regret it!

If you have issues with your back Dr. Patel is the real deal. She spends an hour with her clients either in person or on zoom. Her knowledge of the body and the individuals needs of her clients brings quick results at least in my case. After four sessions I feel that we are on the right course to make my back respond to exercise as if I went to the chiropractor for an adjustment. My goal if for my back to achieve stability without weekly adjustments for alignment.

If you have chronic back pain,go see dr Patel! She cured mine in 10 sessions! Getting out of bed in the morning pain free is amazing I can go on long bike rides without being in pain for the next 5 days and long car rides are no longer a torture Dr Patel and her team are so professional and their work space is beautiful,clean and quiet It is a relaxing and friendly environment and I always left feeling calm and improved A truly positive experience - Catherine

I arrived after multiple PT sessions in the past. I was happy to be receiving one on one Therapy sessions. We focused on my issues that have plagued me for years. I was able to see improvement and also deal with my areas that needed more focused care. I appreciated the CoVid Tele Sessions that we’re not only physically therapeutic but also mentally refreshing. I have learnt to cope with my pains and hope to continue to focus on resolving my focus areas. Thanks to the staff in there assistance and to the videos that I have continued to direct me to a painless lifestyle

Dr. Payal Patel and her staff are amazing. Adapt offers personalized physical therapy with a level of caring and concern that is unprecedented. Her techniques are customized to individual needs and incorporate hands on and virtual techniques allowing treatment during these challenging COVID19 times. If something is not working, Dr. Patel finds another alternative. She does not give up until you feel better. It is this commitment to her patient’s well being that helped ease my neck and shoulder pain that was inhibiting my daily work life, range of motion and in my yoga practice. I am grateful to Dr. Patel and her staff. We are blessed to have her join the Montclair community!

Stunning space and practice. I like this setup much better than the high volume PT chains that are around.

FIX IT YOURSELF! is what I am ready to do after just 9 sessions with Dr. Patel. The body heals itself but only if you are doing the right things. So why can’t you just look it up on the internet? Because each body is different and requires an informed analysis followed by specific stretches and exercises to move toward proper alignment. Along the way, further assessment, corrections and modifications are given and are helpful to speed progress. Activities vary from person to person. I play hockey and Dr. Patel recognized problems that are commonly found with that and similar activities. She designed my program with performance in mind as as a goal as well as general posture and alignment. From the first session, I learned more about how my body was aligned, or misaligned than I ever had. No one in any field had ever provided this information at this level of detail or understanding. I had done plenty of self evaluation and had taken some positive steps in the right direction. But some of what I was doing was the exact opposite of what I should have been doing and I now understand why. I now possess a wealth of knowledge about how my body structures work and what tendencies I have that require some ongoing attention. I already feel that I have a pathway toward proper alignment and will recognize it as it gets there. Dr. Patel is professional and personable and the environment is well equipped, friendly and clean. Adapt Performance and Rehab is a great choice for producing results and healing as well as for prevention. I wish Payal and Cody the very best at their new location!

I came to this facility with the mind set that I had to loose weight for myself to be more comfortable in my own skin and so that I will be healthy once I am ready to start a family. This gym has offered me much advice, guidance, and motivation. I keep at it because I am seeing results and have more energy and confidence!

This place it’s fantastic, super professional environment. Great location , great hours, great results

What a Godsend Adapt has been for me. I've had only three sessions with Dr. Patel and cannot believe the difference she's made in my pain levels. Pain that I have been dealing with FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I'm already considering making Adapt a part of my healthy lifestyle along with my gym membership and personal trainer!

Since day one; Before becoming a patient/client, I was treated like I was welcomed into this space called ADAPT PERFORMANCE. Connected, respected and recommended by the best Doctors of Orthopedic medicine in the practice. Now that I am a client/patient I am treated like a friend in need of care! In today's world of health and sports science, just because the provider knows a few more "buzz words," a few more acronyms, you are to be magically healed. Not so with Dr. Patel and Cody! No buzz words...no gimmicks....NO (LESS) PAIN! Applied sports science and therapy for the long term healing! Not just for the summer beach, but for a lifetime! Therapy now Performance tomorrow! What a blessing! Thank you! LWH

I'm glad that I responded to the adapt ad, it turned out to be exactly what I needed and has exceeded my expectations. I have received personalized workouts and nutrition tips that have resulted in me being able to lose weight/body fat and increase muscle. Cody and staff have been great and I would definitely recommend their fitness services!!

My sports med doc sent me to Dr Patel to fix muscle imbalances that impact my running firm and are perpetuating injuries. Working with Dr Patel is very different from the regular physical therapy in that she is with only me for the full hour focusing on the smallest detail of how I’m doing the exercises she’s given me. I understand how she’s earned the trust of my sports doc, as he’s a very serious triathlete himself, very focused on the technical aspects of performance. She’s giving me a whole new sense of purpose and confidence that the hard work I’m doing will help me to achieve my goals.

I needed a physical therapist who could help me recover strength in my lower body after a spinal operation. Payal listened carefully to my description of muscular conditions, and then guided my exercises. In time I reached what I believe is my maximum strength.

The only downside to this place is that I don't live closer to it and can't make it here often. But Payal and Cody are incredible at what they do and I can't recommend them enough. I'm an athlete training for American Ninja Warrior and recently suffered a shoulder injury and wasn't sure how to fix the problem. More specifically, I developed bicep tendinitis and rotator cuff tendinitis. I had already been to sports medicine doctor whose only suggestion was a steroid shot and was quite frankly a waste of time, so by the time I got to Payal I was frustrated and at a loss for what to do. I had gone from lifting 30lb dumbbells to being in pain with a 2lb dumbbell and hanging on obstacles or doing anything else ninja-related was completely out of the question. In one consultation and one session, Payal was able to jump-start my recovery through several recovery techniques and exercises in addition to providing me with a ton of education. She was patient in answering my questions, explaining the plan and most importantly, why she was doing what she was doing. She is a big part of the reason I'm back to training full time and feeling stronger than ever. I also now have more confidence that I can prevent future injury.

The best rehab experience I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty). I’m a 48-year old life-long athlete who came to Adapt to address increasing knee pain from ACL surgery 15 years ago. Dr. Payal proved to be extremely knowledgeable and traced my issues beyond my knee surgery and back to college soccer ankle injuries. Between the exercises and Dr. Payal’s massage and cup therapy, I began to feel relief - as well as additional stability - almost immediately. Additionally, Dr. Payal helped me work out alignment issues I had developed as a result of coping with my knee pain for so long. I feel like I’m (physically) five years younger as a result of Dr. Payal’s therapy. I cannot recommend Dr. Payal and Adapt Rehab enthusiastically enough.

I love Adapt Performace and Training! I have been a member of their gym for two months and I already see results. My clothes fit better and I am getting stronger. I always look forward to each work out because I feel energized and satisfied with my progress.

I am so glad I found Adapt! It turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. They offer personalized work out plans along with nutrition tips that help their clients gain muscle and lose unwanted fat. Cody and his team make sure you do your best to succeed and reach your fitness goals. I would recommend Adapt to anyone looking for a gym where you feel welcome and get proper guidance and support in your gym endeavors.

The best place for performance training and rehabilitation. I’ve trained here for over 5 months and the results are GREAT! The staff is amazing! Everything you need from customized training programs to nutritional help, 1 on 1 training, physical therapy, the list goes on. If you need any help training for a sport, rehabbing injuries or getting in shape, Adapt Performance and Rehab is the place for you! -TG

Best investment ever! Being pain free after 20 years of chronic pain is unbelievable. Dr. Payal is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure you get a customized program to help you achieve your functional goals. After I completed my PT sessions with Dr. Payal I began doing performance training with Cody. Not only am I improving my functional strength and endurance but I have also been pain free while doing those things! I recommended this place to anyone who thinks they cant get back to doing what they love because of pain or an injury. Everyone there is super friendly and create a great atmosphere!

This is hands-down the single best investment I've ever made for my personal fitness. The trainers are attentive and actually know what they're doing. Two weeks in and I'm already making gains and feeling stronger. Signed up for the 6 week program, but I don't see me stopping after 6 weeks.

Visited Adapt after dealing with pain in my hip for 4 months while training for an Ironman, and visiting 3 other therapists with no success. At Adapt, I finally received explanations that made sense, and felt improvement after just one session and completely pain free after a couple of weeks.

I came to see Dr. Payal with shoulder and neck issues that had been plaguing me for many months. She explained her theories on the source of my pain and promptly put me to work with stretches and exercises that I continue to use today. Payal is a very knowledgable physical therapist and she tries to explain what is going on with your body so that you can understand how to deal with the issues. She is also warm and personable, which makes going to see her such a pleasure. Thanks for the care, Dr. Payal!

I've been coming here for physical therapy with Payal for about a year and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone looking to rehabilitate (or "prehabilitate") an injury. Personally, I came here primarily to rehab an ankle sprain and preemptively address some shoulder pain. Payal and Cody are both very knowledgeable and committed to getting you to 100%. The fact that they are both athletes themselves is nice since they avoid giving you instructions like "do not workout for the next 2 weeks" (unless it is absolutely necessary). I think that coming here has been benefitting both present-me and future-me.

Hands down the best physical therapy I have ever had. Adapt performance isn't your run of the mill physical therapy. Dr. Payal doesn't just give you simple exercises to sort out your injury, then advise that you avoid movements or activities that caused the pain in the first place. She goes to the source of the issue weather it be a muscular imbalace, structural issue, movement issue...ect and teaches you how to correct the problem so you will never have the issue again. I can't express enough how amazing the work they do is!!!

I have had a lot of experience with a variety of different gyms and physical therapists, and I can say by far my best experience has been with Adapt. Physical therapy for my ankle injury was amazing. It helped me get better not only in my sport (soccer) but also in everyday life. Fixing that was my starting point and it allowed me to work harder and push myself, pain free. On the training side, Cody and Kris are some of the most understanding trainers I have ever had. They are always around to help each individual and make sure everyone is doing excersizes correctly and safely. After a few months with Adapt I already see results on the field and I can’t wait to continue!

I have nothing but great things to say about Adapt Performance. Dr. Payal and Cody developed a training program to relieve my son's knee pain associated with Osgood-Schlatter. His added strength and flexibility were major reasons for a successful and pain-free lacrosse and basketball seasons. As for me, Dr. Payal diagnosed issues with my hips that was ultimately causing leg and lower back pain. Being a frequent runner and in my mid-forties, I assumed it was just normal wear and tear. After a couple of months rehabbing, I have been running pain free for the first time in years. I highly recommend Adapt Performance for anyone who wants to resolve their nagging injuries.

After 6 months of a back injury sustained in training for a half marathon, I was really getting desperate for a way for my escalating pain to go away. The pain was excruciating, kept me awake at night and was no relieved by anything. After one meeting with Payal, I experienced an immediate decrease in pain overnight after doing some of the exercises she gave me. After months of trying everything I could to make the pain dissipate, I almost could not believe how effective this was. Now we are working to get me back to the shape I was before my injuries. Not only has this been a huge help to getting back to my fitness goals, but it’s been an enjoyable process. Payal takes a genuine interest in helping her clients, and felt like a friend after our first meeting. She’s been flexible with my extremely difficult schedule, and goes out of her way to help in any way she can.

Payal was great from the start, really listening to my concerns and creating a therapy program that really focused on my injury. The hands on approach was amazing, mich different than other PTs I’ve seen.

I can’t say enough good things about Adapt Performance and Rehab and how they helped me get back to competing in weightlifting. When I met Dr. Payal, I was in the end stages of recovering from a torn labrum in my right hip, and was dealing with some problems in my rotator cuff and my knee because I had been trying to “train around” my hip. On my first assessment, Dr. Payal came up with a recovery plan to get me back to my sport in better shape and completely healthy. Through both hands on treatment, and a variety of exercises to specifically work on my individual issues, we were able to stay on plan and get me back to being pain free. I still use most of the exercises she prescribed to me on a daily basis as part of my warm up, and five months later, I’ve not only gotten back to my previous levels, but I have exceeded them. If you have an injury, or are experiencing pain, this is the place to come to. Dr. Payal is the best in her field, and she will help you get back to doing what you love.

Until Adapt Performance and Rehab I hadn't found any physical therapist that was worth my time. I'd been ignoring a few injuries for around 4 years and just working around them simply because I had been to orthopedics and other physical therapists that were a complete waste. Ignoring these issues for so many years Dr. Payal was completely up-front and provided realistic expectations of the length of treatment but more importantly, there was a real "end date" as well as criteria we could use to measure our success as we went along. In all my visits with other professionals, this had never happened before. Investing in becoming pain free and able to return to consistent exercise has been one of the best choices I've made for my long term health and wellness. The treatment and personalized care that I've received from Adapt has been exceptional. If you're in need of care, and especially if you've been let down by other doctors or therapists in the area, you should make an appointment as soon as possible, there's no reason to accept being in pain.

I came across Adapt Performance in one of my social media accounts one night. It sounded great by their advertisement, but it did not do the establishment any justice! It was the best experience I’ve had working out. I’m 35, a mom of two far apart in age. The baby weight from the second one has been a real struggle. I had been working out, trying to maintain my diet, but it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t challenging myself and I didn’t know how to. I didn’t know exercises that would give me the biggest bang for my buck. Going to Adapt was the best thing I’ve done for myself. The entire team there is beyond awesome, patient, encouraging, but tough too. They know your individual potential even if you don’t, but they help you get to the point to see it in yourself. The class sizes are really small (like 5 other people there besides you and everyone going is there for different reasons) and it’s like having a personal trainer. I was really intimidated by the trap bar and kettle bells, but now I’m not. Load on the weight! LOL but in all seriousness I wish everyone would experience for themselves what they have to offer. It’s the most comfortable environment, no judgement, you learn a lot, and you’re getting fit. They take into account any injuries or weak areas to rehab them and strengthen them to get you back to even better overall performance. I witnessed all ages, all performance levels (beginners to serious athletes), all with separate needs and all of which were being met by the professionals at Adapt. I’m so grateful to them all! Cody, Payal, and Chris were exceptional!

It's been a pleasure working with the team at Adapt thus far, and I sincerely appreciate the time they take to learn about each individual client, and then to create a customized path forward that makes sense for that individual. Whether you are focused more on the performance training side of things, or you are doing more of the physical therapy and rehab, the team at Adapt is invested in helping you reach your goals, and they are so knowledgeable. I am certainly much closer to reaching my goals than I was before going to Adapt, and for the first time in a long time feel confident that I will get where I want to go because of them.

Awesome team! Both extremely knowledgeable and friendly!

A couple of years ago, i injured my back doing squats and later injured my glute doing weighted lunges. Even after resting, trying a chiropractor, and going to a different PT, I wasn't back to 100%. I improved a little bit, but I was unable to do yoga or run for a long time without pain, and had started to resign myself to the idea of reducing my activity level as day-to-day activities were beginning to hurt. This was devastating to me as a fairly active person, so I decided to try PT again when I moved to NJ. When I was searching for a PT, I was looking for two things: (1) someone specializing in back pain because I had scoliosis and (2) someone who was focused on performance rehab and getting me back to the fun activities I love. And that's where Adapt came in and Dr. Payal Patel did not disappoint. She worked with me to increase the stability and strength in my back and core for my back pain and also worked with me to increase my stability and mobility in my hips and glutes for my glute pain. I've gone from pain every day to almost none and I am getting better every day. She worked with me on both injuries and would focus on one or the other depending on how I was feeling. Dr. Patel explained why were doing each exercise which has allowed me to continue to get stronger on my own. I know what exercises I should be doing if I ever feel a little unstable and I am needing the exercises less and less each day. This is particularly great because she makes you take ownership of your own health and you don't feel like she is making you sign up for unnecessary sessions. I'm now able to run interval sprints without pain and before I was barely able to walk or sit for a long period of time without pain. PT itself was super enjoyable. Dr. Patel spends the full hour with you which is great and much different than other PTs I've been to. Payal and Cody are super fun and nice and are great to chat with during therapy. They also have great hours and was flexible with my crazy work schedule. I would refer everyone and anyone to Payal (and Cody) if you have something you want to work on or feel like something just isn't right in your body. They are so knowledgeable about how to get you the strongest and healthiest you've ever been.

Being an athlete has been part of my life since I was little. From softball, basketball, and tennis to running marathons and completing triathlons and everything in between, I’ve put my body through a lot. After running the NYC marathon in 2015, my hips haven’t felt the same. I thought my running days were over. A simple 5k or 10k left me sore for days and getting up from sitting cross legged on the ground left me limping in pain. I’ve seen some sports doctors who gave me cortisone shots for a “quick fix” and prescribed relatively ineffective stretches or exercises to gain mobility back in my hips, but nothing ever felt “right”. A few weeks ago, I found Adapt Performance and Rehab and they have changed the way I view running and helped me learn how my body should really feel during it. During the first session, Dr. Patel was able to identify the source of my pain (which was incorrectly identified by other doctors), introduced me to exercises and stretches that target the problem areas and help me to set goals along the way. Within days, my pain has subsided and I’m ready to get back to what I love! I highly recommend Adapt to any athlete of any level or to anyone who may not be getting the results they want from physical therapy or other fitness programs. Your consultation is free and the way you feel after your first session is invaluable!

Cody and Payal are the best duo ever! After a terrible experience with a personal trainer where I was injured, I was very apprehensive. But one of my crossfit friends was going to see Payal for physical therapy and couldn't say enough amazing things about them! I had 3 goals when I came into Adapt: 1. Remain pain and injury free 2. Do a pull up 3. Catch a Giant Blue Fin Tina (I'm going on a fish trip Summer 2018 to Canada and I knew I had to get stronger) Cody was more than up for the challenge! He slowly introduced me back into weightlifting by focusing on simple exercises, on my form, doing movements properly, and adjusting and modifying when we needed to. He understands that every day of every week I can't go as hard as I want to. When those days happen, he is always willing to adjust my program. He always says rather have a client come in and do something, than nothing at all. I love that mentality! I have been pain free for the past 6 months, still working towards that pull up, and more than confident that I can reel in that GBF Tuna this August!!!

I began training with ADAPT to become stronger and add mass for my upcoming lacrosse season, within 3 weeks I was able to put on 8lbs of muscle and become noticeably stronger and faster. While working out one of the trainers is always close and making adjustments to your form or the workout to best suit what you are trying to accomplish. Every time you walk into ADAPT you can notice the passion the trainers have and their desire for you to be the best you can be. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to become the most dominate player on the field.

I've had chance to work with both Payal and Cody when I came in about 5 months ago with a re-injured hip labral tear. My injury wasn't going to go away without surgery and I wanted to continue to play my sport at a high level without going that route. Payal was able to explain to me exactly what about my lifestyle and the injury itself that was causing the pain and re-injury, and take me through various exercises to help realign, stabilize and strengthen my hip even with the tear still there. I was feeling much better after only a few sessions and then transitioned into a personalized strength training program. I've now been going for several months to strengthen that area so I can continue to play at a high level multiple times a week without any more pain. The results have been incredible and I have been playing better than ever! I highly recommend Adapt for high level athletes who need solutions for active lifestyles that can't be sidelined by injuries.

Tremendous staff and very informative content. I love all the instructional videos and open forum questions they do. My physiological performance knowledge has definitely increased working with this group.

I am 13 and i had really had self confident problems about my size and and skill at sports. Going into adapt we had to major goals gain weight and become a better lacrosse player. i am currently up 13.5 pounds and became a starter on my elite lacrosse team. Adapt is one of the best investments and opportunities for anyone. Adapt had helped me in so many ways and i hope everyone has the same feeling about adapt as i do.

I've been working with Cody and Kris for a few weeks now and finding great results. I'm feeling stronger than I have in a while! This is a perfect way to invest in yourself and your health. I am rehabbing from some repetitive injuries, but you will find others who are simply working toward being the best athletes they can be. This is a great spot, clean, and the staff are super knowledgeable. They will be totally onboard with your program!

I don't usually post reviews but this place deserved one. While training for a triathlon I started having knee pain that was just getting worse and worse. I decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Payal Patel to figure out what was going on. She was able to diagnose my knee problem, and come up with a treatment plan and I didn't even have to go to my doctor. Now I'm back to training, and staying injury-free! Thanks Payal and Cody for your help!

Cody is an extremely good performance coach. His knowledge of biomechanics and energy systems is astounding, and anybody looking to improve performance across all aspects of movement should look no further than ADAPT. As a physical therapist, I would love to refer my patients to ADAPT because Cody applies the latest in technology and evidence with the knowledge necessary to keep the training safe.

I had been suffering from intermittent hip pain for years. It would limit my running and I would end up having to take time off from training to get it to calm down. I decided to FINALLY do something about it. I worked with Dr. Payal Patel and she designed a tailored program to help me strengthen my hips and get back on track for training for my half marathon. She was so pleasant to work with! I highly recommend going to Adapt Performance and Rehab.

I have been struggling with my shoulder for over a year now and have not been able to play tennis at the level that I have wanted. With Dr. Patel's orthopedic knowledge and Cody's individualized training program, I am happy to say I have returned to playing tennis at my normal level pain-free and stronger than ever! This team is awesome!

I️ hurt my back while moving furniture into my new home last month. I️t was a stupid mistake, didn’t think I’d be in so much pain. I️ went to Dr. Payal for help and it only took three sessions for the pain to completely subside. We spent another two sessions during which she showed me how to modify my gym routine so I️ could continue getting stronger properly and avoid any future injury. Loved the one on one attention!

In Miami, I hurt myself squatting a little over 3 weeks ago. I had a herniated disk and pinched sciatic nerve. I first started doing PT in Miami, which did help a little but I knew I needed more attention and help then what I was getting. After being forced to go home due to Hurricane Irma, I started looking for PT near me and found Adapt Performance and Rehab. Honestly it was the best decision I made because I immediately started seeing results. The numbness and tingling in my leg decreased tremendously and they gave me detailed stretches to do at home. Unlike my PT in Miami, Dr. Payal Patel explained everything in detail so that I could understand what was going on and what she was doing. The differences between my first session and now is night and day. Thank you adapt!

Excellent services and knowledgeable, well trained staff.

I went to Next Level Physio with SI joint pain and plantar fasciitis. Dr. John was amazing. Along with laser treatments and at home exercises I am back to normal activities. Would highly recommend Next Level to anyone in need of PT!

Best of the best! John is incredible and extremely knowledgeable. Been to many PT’s before, Next Level is by far the best. Injury healed super quick!

Great experience with physical therapy helping improve my hip and back issues. Dr. John and team are professional, knowledge, and easy to work with. I look forward to continuing work with their team to maintain my mobility as I continue strength training and working on my functional fitness.

I’ve spent many years in pain from an auto accident. I Tried other Physical Therapist, chiropractor and basically everything I could think of for my pain. John had a game plan in 1 hr and full treatment complete . Now i have the belief Im back to getting my life back and feel so much better 3 days later . Ty John and team for helping me gain back some strength and hope- Alan Stoll

So glad an instructor at Pure Barre recommended Next Level Physio in Cary. Shoulder pain and limited mobility was not only affecting my workouts but my daily life. My PT, John, at Next Level Physio tailored a plan for pain relief, functional mobility, and strengthening that not only got me mobile again but gave me a consistent plan to keep me from reinjury. John and Noah were professional and committed to client success. They made every session a priority and always added in a little fun. Highly recommended this dynamic duo!! Thank you John and Noah!

Dr. Mendenhall was amazing to work with in my first appointment. He is extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented. I learned a lot and left with a good plan for how to start improving my situation. I highly recommend him.

I can’t thank this place enough after my knee surgery they helped me get ready for college softball in a quick but effective way! The guys here are so fun and friendly and let every appointment be enjoyable. The BFR machine may have been one of the hardest things i’ve done but it was so extremely helpful in rebuilding my quad muscle. Highly recommend this place to everyone

I was skeptical about paying for physical therapy at first. I figured I could just fix things myself, lift a little lighter, cut back on my mileage, and it would sort itself out. After doing my first Hyrox race in March, my shins & back were having issues, a friend from my gym kept telling me to just go see Jerry at Next Level. I'm so glad I did, because I was completely wrong. I'm a total believer now. Jerry was hands-on from day one. He did a full review of my past workouts and overall fitness, identified the issues I was actually dealing with, and laid out a path to correct them and build a better foundation going forward. He made me feel like he cared more about my health than I did. From there, John's been my main guy and he's been amazing. Every time I come in, we recap what I've done since my last session and where I'm feeling some attention is needed, and he helps me actually diagnose the core issue causing it, not just treat the symptom. Then we talk through how to adjust things so it doesn't keep happening. He also looks at data from my old workouts and runs and helps me plan ahead for my next event, so it never feels reactive. It genuinely feels like he's in my corner, not just running through a routine with me. And Noah up front rounds it all out, every time I walk in it feels less like a clinic and more like a group of people who actually know me and care how I'm doing. If you're on the fence like I was, stop overthinking it and just go. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Next Level Physio enough! After having my second baby, I sought treatment for my C-section scar and found Dr. Jerry and his incredible team. Dr. Jerry is kind, warm, extremely professional, and truly an amazing doctor. I noticed significant improvement after just three sessions, and by the end of my 12-session treatment plan, the results were beyond what I expected. My scar is much smoother, I have better mobility, and it honestly looks better than it did even after my first C-section! What sets Next Level Physio apart is their innovative approach to scar rehabilitation. Dr. Jerry uses treatments such as shockwave therapy and needling, which I had not been able to find elsewhere. His expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident throughout the entire process. The entire staff is knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and the culture they’ve created is outstanding. If you’re looking for expert care and real results, I highly recommend Next Level Physio.

I developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis that did not go away with time. I saw a podiatrist who gave me several rounds of steroid shots, which provided temporary relief, but nothing sustaining. After much frustration, at home exercises, splints, and shots, I decided to see Dr. John at Next Level Physio. He helped me sort through what I needed and didn't need in strength training, provided dry needling and shockwave therapy (very helpful), and after several weeks, I'm nearly back to running regularly with no pain or stiffness! Before, I could barely walk around the block without feeling stiffness/discomfort, and now I'm experiencing sustained success and back to running again! I'm very pleased with his expertise and work!

John is a PT magician. I run marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman races. I came to John when I could barely run a mile, hobbling from foot and leg injuries and well, Father Time bearing down on me. John was able to do what a series of doctors couldn't: Get me back running again, this time with better strength and stronger form. No longer fearing I've run my last race, I'm now back on track training and keeping Father Time at a comfortable distance.

I'd been to several different PTs over the last couple of years for running issues, but they either kept coming back or new ones appeared. Jerry and John came to Alloy Personal Training where I'm a member for a seminar, and I was intrigued and really liked their approach to PT, especially as an older person. I've run on and off since my 20s and am recently retired, so really want to keep running and staying fit as long as possible. I worked with John and he's great - knowledgeable, kind, and a great sense of humor. With his help and guidance I am confident I will be able to stay active for the long haul... at least that's my goal!

I cannot recommend Next Level Physio in Cary enough. Dr. Yoo and Dr. Mendenhall have been absolutely instrumental in helping me continue training and ultimately complete a half marathon pain free. As someone who was never an athlete growing up, it feels incredible to now be back in long-distance running stronger than ever and even preparing for HYROX. What really sets this practice apart is that both providers are athletes themselves. They show up every day understanding firsthand the physical and mental challenges that come with training, whether you are an experienced athlete or just getting started. They are encouraging, knowledgeable, realistic, and genuinely invested in helping their patients succeed. I have been to several physical therapy practices throughout my adulthood, and this was by far the best out-of-pocket money I have ever spent on my health. Unlike other places where treatment plans felt limited by what insurance considered “medically necessary,” Next Level Physio focused on what would actually help me recover, perform better, and stay healthy long term. Nothing felt held back or cookie cutter. Totally worth every penny, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and expertise.

Dr. John is the reason why I chose NLP for my therapy. Being a competitive athlete himself, I trusted that his therapy techniques would be current and his recommendations would be more relevant to my injury recovery. He's a great clinical resource, and I'm honored to give him and NLP a strong recommendation.

John helped me recover from a painful shoulder injury that included two rotator cuff tears and a tendon torn from the bone. He created a simple, effective workout plan that really improved my strength and mobility. He’s knowledgeable, easy to work with, and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him for anyone needing physical therapy

Next Level Physio is the best! Dr. Brad and Dr. Jerry are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about your progress. I’ve made huge improvements and enjoyed going to PT. Highly recommend!

Training with NextLevel for my first triathlon was an amazing experience. As a beginner, I felt supported and guided every step of the way. The training plan was well structured, easy to follow, and really helped build my confidence leading up to the race. John was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and always willing to answer questions or adjust things when needed. I felt prepared and strong going into the triathlon and couldn’t have done it without him. I would absolutely recommend John Mendenhall to anyone thinking about doing their first triathlon or looking to improve their training !

John Mendenhall helped me greatly when I broke my Rt. ankle and my Rt. Elbow. John has a wonderful "bedside manner". He showed me exercises to do to strengthen both my ankle and elbow which helped me tremendously to heal quickly. There was one ankle stretch in particular that John showed me how to do which I use to this day and I love! He was understanding, sympathetic and patient with me throughout this experience. I highly recommend him as a Physical Therapist.

Recently moved from Ohio with my fiancé - we are both elite runners and had a great PT up north that we relied on. I was dealing with a navicular stress fracture and potentially surgery upon our move. Having quality PT and physiotherapy was a necessity as I pursued a professional career coming off of this. John straight up saved me. We made a lot routines and massage regimen for my foot/ankle, as well as implemented inserts. It feels 100% now and I’ve built up training well. John told us so much about the area as well as how to get plugged in with the local running community. Truly a godsend for our big move and my athletics.

I've been working with John to get me race ready for multiple Professional Ironman 70.3 events. Sport is my livelihood and it is of utmost importance that my body is taken care of -- There is nobody I would rather trust with my pre and post race recovery/injury navigation than John. Would recommend 100x.

I have been working with Dr. John for over 8 years. Following an accident on my bike I struggled to stay in shape due to feeling frustrated that I was always in pain and not able to make progress. I was in the worst shape of my life and about to turn 50. My only goals at the time were to get healthy. 5 minutes on the bike felt like torture! Dr. John not only helped me grow stronger and regain my health, but he gave me confidence that I could do more than I thought was possible. In November 2024 I completed Ironman Florida. It had been a lifelong dream to become an Ironman. I can’t imagine anyone else getting me from couch to Ironman! With his continued support I plan to complete my 5th 70.3 this October in NC and a full Ironman for my 60th birthday in 2 years!! I can’t say enough about how amazing Dr. John is to work with!!

John has really helped my wife with her knee problems—from physical therapy, to adjusted exercise plans that build strength, to detailed advice on her limits as she slowly heals. He is by far the best physical therapist you can go to.

I’ve been working with Dr. John since 2023, and I honestly can’t say enough good things. I originally started going because of knee pain, but it’s turned into so much more than that. Now I check in whenever something pops up or just for general maintenance, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. He takes the time to really listen, figure out the root of the problem, and explain what’s going on in a way that actually makes sense. I’ve learned so much about how to take care of my body and how to prevent issues before they get worse. Most importantly, he’s made a huge difference in my day-to-day life. I feel stronger, more confident in my movement, and way less limited by pain. I’m able to do so many things I couldn’t before. If you’re on the fence about physical therapy or looking for someone you can trust long-term, I highly recommend him.

I can’t recommend Jerry and Next Level Physio enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first met Jerry at a fitness franchise when I was dealing with intense shoulder pain—likely from poor posture during workouts, which got even worse after a root canal. From day one, Jerry took a comprehensive approach to my recovery. He used techniques like dry needling, shockwave therapy, and targeted strength exercises, all while helping me correct my posture and alignment. He even educated me on diet and supplements. My fast-paced, high-intensity training had led to multiple issues, mainly because I wasn’t slowing down or being mindful in group classes. Jerry not only treated each problem effectively, but also taught me how to better understand and take care of my body. Thanks to him, I’m now much more aware during workouts, moving with better form and confidence, and avoiding the mistakes that caused pain in the first place. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and empowers you to stay healthy long-term, I highly recommend Next Level Physio!

I began my journey at Next Level Physio in October after I dislocated my shoulder playing intramural basketball. I was told I needed surgery for it but with me being in college I needed another option which ended up being physical therapy. Through my little bit of research I found Next Level Physio and from the start it was a really good experience. Dr. Megan really helped me through the process by developing an excel spreadsheet with workouts that I have to do weekly outside of our sessions. This really helped me gained my confidence in using my shoulder again because I never truly thought it would be the same again. I would 100% recommend it to anyone that needs physical therapy and I would return if I happen to have another injury.

Dr. Jerry is truly the best! I came in for a complimentary Total Body Assessment, mainly for my knee with advanced arthritis, and I was honestly blown away by the whole experience. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and took his time walking me through every detail of the assessment in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and he made sure all of my questions and concerns were genuinely heard and addressed. He even went the extra mile by taking videos on my phone of the exercises so I’d have them as a reference to use at home. The level of care and personal attention I received far exceeded my expectations. I haven’t experienced anything like it since my first knee surgery, when I completed rehab at the Texas Rangers stadium alongside professional athletes. I highly recommend his services!!

My 9 year old daughter tore her ACL during a freak accident at gymnastics. She required prehab before surgery and then about 7 months of PT. Dr. Megan at Next Level in Cary was phenomenal throughout the entire process. This injury was very hard for a child and Dr. Megan established trust and a relationship with her from day 1. Without Dr. Megan’s expertise in gymnastics (she was a collegiate gymnast), my daughter would have had to wait until fully recovered before going back to the sport she loves. Dr. Megan safely coordinated her gradual return every step of the way. Next Level provides the highest quality care and cares about you as a person. Thank you, Next Level!

I can't say enough about Megan and the team at Next Level. They continue to use their knowledge, skills, and experience to get me back working out and/or on the pickleball court in a shorter time frame than other PT's. Megan took the time to listen to my concerns, to narrow down the problem, and to build a comprehensive plan that not only addressed the problem, but also helped me not re-injure the same area. I'm an active person, and I've experienced my share of injuries and PT's. I haven't found anyone in the area that addresses my injuries like Megan and the team at Next Level. If you're dealing with an injury and are seeing a PT that is only addressing the specific area, cancel your appointments, and schedule an appointment with Megan over at Next Level. You'll be glad you did!

Megan at Next Level Physio was awesome to work with. I had an injury in the middle of my senior football season, and she helped me rehab it and get back quicker than I expected to be ready for college next semester. She really listened, adjusted things based on how I was feeling, and pushed me the right amount. I was able to get pretty much back to full strength in about 10-12 weeks feeling strong and confident. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I had hurt my right knee earlier this summer and decided to go back to my previous PT. I was struggling going up and down the stairs at home. Even walking around the house was painful. After about two months, my knee did not seem to getting better on nearly two months. Some of my work out buddies mentioned that I should go see Jerry Yoo and Megan Rodio at Next Level Physio. I had some reservations about trying a new PT thinking that it would be the same treatment. I was totally mistaken!! Without going into details of what they did to help heal my knee pain, it went away in less than 1.5 months. The treatment and exercises they provided to help strengthen the muscles around my knee were tough to do, but it expedited a faster recovery. I am not running as fast as I use to, but it sure feels great running with no pain. I get the normal tightness after the run, but the stretching exercises I was given have been very helpful. If you have an ailment or have been suffering from an injury for a while, I highly recommend seeing Jerry and Megan. Their methods of treating an injury is highly advanced and gets you on the road of recovery faster!

Dr. Hudson at Next Level Physio in Cary was awesome! Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I went in looking for off-season weight training tips to stay injury-free, and he gave me great advice, and a plan to help prevent the need for ongoing rehab for a nagging injury I have. Perfect spot for any athlete who wants to train smarter and stay healthy

Unlike other PTs that treat the symptoms and injuries, and you have to keep coming back for pain, Next Level Physio is totally different. As a triathlete who loaded the schedule with lots of swim, bike and run, I am prone to injury on my lower back, and calves. Dr. Brad reviewed my training routine, my nutrition and strength training habits to provide me guidelines on my training, and recovery to prevent the next injury. Thanks Next Level Physio!

Not a single complaint for Next Level Physio. Outstanding care, professional staff, and well maintained facilities. I’ll never go elsewhere for PT!

I ended up meeting Dr. Megan at a weekly running event after I was having pain in my hip/glute area . She was able to schedule me quickly and we immediately did a thorough assessment to determine the best course of action. She has helped me in decreasing my overall pain and increasing my strength tremendously. She helped me in building a custom strength training plan that has improved my running so much and others have noticed too! All of the staff at Next Level Physio have been so kind and helpful and I really enjoy going in for appointments. I know that if I encounter any issues in the future I can call them up and they will have me back at my normal activity level again soon.

I was referred to Dr Megan at Next Level Physic in Cary, NC by another patient. I had been experiencing pain at the base of my thumbs for years. I was subconsciously changing my day to day life in dealing with this pain. Eventually, the pain was becoming too much. I accepted the invitation and made an appointment with Dr. megan and their team. I truly expected to be told that it was just part of getting older. Pain medication and adapting to lack of use of my hands and severe pain was going to be part of my future. ( I was wrong) At our first appointment I learned to have some patience with myself and she has been a solid rock in my therapy. I can NOT brag enough about my experience! The care and guidance her team has given is the best I have ever experienced! It feels great to able use my hands again without all the pain! Thank you!

Dr. Megan and Dr. Jerry are not only great people but very talented PTs, rehabbing my Achilles issues to get me back to running pain free! Each one on one session was incredibly valuable in progressing my at home rehab exercise plan while allotting a majority of the hour long session to hands on therapy. I appreciated that they prescribed functional, sport specific exercises that were unique and multifaceted. This in combination with the use of needling with e-stim and two types of shockwave therapy significantly improved my recovery timeline. I can't say enough good things about Next Level Physio and definitely recommend this practice to anyone in need of physical therapy!

Dr. Jerry and his team are amazing!!! I visited Next Level Physio in Cary immediately after injuring my tailbone at the gym. The care I received was thorough and research-based. It is evident that each staff member cares about you as a patient and takes the time to address your concerns/create an individualized care plan to get you back to health as soon as possible. In addition to regenerative services like shockwave therapy and e-needling (both of which accelerated my healing in awesome ways!!), I was given a progressive exercise plan that allowed me to continue working out with modifications until I was able to fully engage in the workout classes at Burn Boot Camp again. Each exercise I was given was practiced during one of my appointments to ensure I had no pain & proper form to do them outside of PT. Dr. Jerry & Dr. Megan and their assistant Brooke create a safe environment for their patients and they are very knowledgeable in their field. I trusted them throughout the entire process. It was evident to me that Dr. Jerry was cognizant that my injury was in an area that could be uncomfortable to have treated by a male provider & went out of his way to ensure I felt comfortable with every step. Both doctors do a wonderful job explaining what they are doing during treatment and how it will help your recovery. They are also aware that the regenerative services can be expensive and they don’t keep you in their care longer than you need to be! At Next Level Physio they take a holistic approach to ensure that each person who walks in the doors is equipped with the information they need to exercise safely and make positive lifestyle/nutritional choices to support healthy movement! I definitely recommend them for any injury, especially if you are looking for a customized approach that really works!

Megan is a rockstar and always provides the best care! I will be back next time I am inevitably injured 😬🫣

My name is Elyssa Cottongim PT, DPT and professional goalkeeper. I am in town for the million dollar TST tournament in Cary, NC and was in need of some more involved treatment for L knee pain. Jerry and his team at Next Level Physio were nothing short of fantastic getting me game ready and feeling my best. Best physical therapy for knee pain or any other soccer related injuries in Cary and Raleigh!

I started going to next level Physio in January 2025 after a season ending ACL tear in a soccer game back in October 2024. After working with Dr. Megan and the other staff members for about 5-6 months I am cleared to return to my sport and I have a sense of confidence I have never felt before. Dr. Megan is one of the most intelligent, compassionate, and supportive physical therapists I have had the pleasure of working with. She is thorough and adaptable based on how my knee is feeling each session, yet we were able to stick to the timeline we initially established. She knew I had aspirations to play professionally, so she was sure to implement sport related exercises in my recovery. I highly encourage anyone out there who is looking to recover with athlete mindset to start with Next Level. I am tremendously grateful for everything Dr. Megan has done and know she will impact many more! Thank you Next Level!!!

I really appreciated receiving PT from the therapists at the Cary Next Level Physio. I am back to running the way i did prior to my injury a year ago and i couldnt be more thankful for the attention to detail and personalized experience i received at PT. This is definitely NOT your traditional therapy practice where they make you go through the motions while they are helping someone else. They are making sure you are using proper form on every exercise and checking in on how you are feeling the entire time.

Was able to get in next day!! And we LOVE the provider!! She is an ex gymnast like my daughter so she understood our needs!!

Next Level Physio is the best clinic for any physical therapy needs. Dr. Megan Benzie is so knowledgeable and eager to teach her patients. I originally went in with shoulder pain before my very first marathon. Dr. Benzie quickly got on it but then with only 2 weeks before my race my left foot started bothering me (fun). Devastated, I told Dr.Benzie I was worried I wouldn’t be able to run. She treated my foot and shoulder the following visit and it ended up saving my race! I was able to run my first marathon because of her quick treatment! I would recommend her to anyone I know. I appreciate her patience and willingness to work with me each time I felt nervous before treatment. My foot is pain free and my shoulder is finally showing signs of healing and recovery. I’m so glad I chose Next Level Physio to help with my pain!

Megan, Jerry, Brooke and the team at Next Level Physio in Cary do an amazing job getting you back on your feet no matter what your physical issue is. I workout out 5 to 6 days a week doing F3, and was having some hip and lower back pain. They use a variety of different techniques and technologies that I had never used at other PT's. This along with a comprehensive workout plan reduced my hip and back pain and got me back working out. I would highly recommend Next Level Physio!

I was training for my first full marathon when I began having foot pain a few weeks before my race. A friend in the run club recommended Dr. Megan at the Cary location and I'm so glad she did. Megan was able to figure out the issue (post-tib tendinitis), but more importantly, she figured out what was causing it. We worked on exercises to help correct running form flaws and modified my running plan to give my foot time to heal. I was able to run my race pain free! I highly recommend her services!

Our family is incredibly grateful for the exceptional care we've received at the Cary location of Next Level Physio. Over the past two years, four of our five family members have worked with Megan, and each experience has been outstanding. Our kids, ranging from ages 10 to 16, have all had the pleasure of working with her, and Megan is truly fantastic at connecting with children. Whether it was a soccer injury or a setback from cross country and track, our kids always looked forward to their sessions and were eager to return. Megan’s approach is both professional and engaging, making their recovery experience positive and empowering. Megan not only treated the root cause of their injuries but also educated them on the importance of strengthening, posture, and injury prevention. Thanks to her guidance, months after their treatment, they continue to practice strengthening exercises and now have a much deeper understanding of how to keep their bodies in top form. In addition to my kids, I've also struggled with lingering setbacks and surgeries that have kept me from enjoying activities like running and tennis. Megan’s expertise has been crucial in getting me back to the active lifestyle I love. I highly recommend Next Level Physio to anyone looking for more than just recovery—this is a place where you'll not only return to where you started but also improve your overall fitness and well-being.

Next Level Physio in Cary, NC got me back to running and on track to successfully complete my two big events for the first half of 2025, and more importantly helped me avoid similar injuries moving forward! While ramping up for 20-mile trail race, I developed some substantial hip pain while running (ONLY while running.) Overnight I went from eight miles easy to less than two before serious pain caused me to stop. I went in to see Next Level and the folks there quickly diagnosed my issue, identified potential root causes, and through exercises and treatment had me back in training in short order. What really impressed me most about Next Level is that they're athletes too, and I don't just mean they are runners! They understand the athlete mindset and the drive to compete/complete our epic challenges and adventures. The PT's asked about my goals, both for my events and long term in general, then devised training plans to help me meet those goals. I felt like they were on my support crew! As athletes, we get injured from time to time (some of us more than others!) From pushing ourselves a little too hard, taking an unfortunate spill, biting off more than we can chew, or just getting older, it's going to happen. Next Level (Cary) will get you sorted and back on track!

Dr Megan is a magician! My background of activities throughout my life are soccer, wrestling, tennis, some weight training. But in the past 2 years I have fallen in love with running and completed my first marathon. I’ve always had knee issues, but I thought it came with the training and had to grind through the pain. After running City of Oaks, the pain on the outside of my knee was past anything I could ignore. It got to the point where I couldn’t run past 2 miles. So I started looking for help. After some research I saw that the best reviews went to Next Level Physio, in Cary. From the first visit, Dr Megan and her staff developed a plan of action and we jumped right into it. I had never had PT before this so I didn’t know what to expect. But immediately after the first visit my knee felt so much better. After 2 weeks of treatment I was running pain free. I couldn’t believe it. I learned about my body and about what works to be strong and healthy. Some of the workouts I learned humbled me but for sure are making me a better runner. I realized that pain while training is not normal. I’m happy I made the choice to seek help and that I found this great team. Go and see Dr Megan and her amazing team at Next Level Physio in Cary and they will get you back on track to doing what you enjoy.

Magic! Megan, Jerry and David, in the Cary, NC location, were beyond fantastic. They listened about my issue (achilles tendonitis), formulated a plan and had me feeling great in just three visits! I am feeling awesome, walking 18 holes on golf course and working out with no limitations. Highly recommend-truly kind, professional and caring! Thank you so much for healing me up!

my time with Next Level Physio in Cary was nothing but fantastic. after running and training for races (half and full marathon) by myself for about 9 months, i realized there were multiple shortcomings in my preparation and i noticed a potential injury developing in my knee. Dr. Megan was kind, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable from our first appointment until our last. she was able to identify a recovery path in the short and long term which has provided a constant sense of improvement for myself. we were able to completely snuff out my injury in time for my first full marathon, and she was able to curate a wonderful strength training plan to pair alongside my running. this toolkit she developed for me will allow me to not only continue preparing for future races on my own, but also help me grow in understanding what I am and am not capable of. the entire Next Level Cary team are just a blast to be around. the conversations are fun and they always push you to be the best version of yourself. i'd happily return just to chat and do a workout!

Best in the business!!!! I cannot say enough about Jerry Yoo, his team, and Next Level Physio. I have known Jerry Yoo, his team, and Next Level Physio for the better part of 12 years. I first met Jerry for my physical therapy needs- and quickly realized what a talented and terrific human being he is. I have been to many PT sessions with him as well as trained with Dr. Jerry. He and his skilled team are the best in the business. I recently turned to Dr. Jerry and his team for some help with my fitness and nutrition goals. While I still live in NJ, I trusted him so much that I reached out to him in Cary, NC where he had relocated. Dr. Jerry and his team set me on a very detailed and comprehensive course to regain my fitness goals. Over the course of just 2 months he helped me recalibrate my fitness and diet in a very manageable way! The results have been amazing. I can’t thank him and his team enough for all that he has for me over the years. My entire family has been to Next Level Physio up in Woodcliff Lake NJ. No other place we trust.

Started out with some injuries (plantar fasciitis, Achilles, and hamstring pain) that went away thanks to the various procedures they do to target specific muscles and tendons. They walked through with me step by step what I needed to do to go pain-free and maintain my overall health in the sports that I was participating in. Gradually, they made me a workout routine that was made for me, which I really liked. Overall, I’m glad to step foot into Next Level Physio; otherwise, I would’ve never seen the day where I could do explosive/endurance movements pain-free.

I had a fantastic experience working with Dr. Jerry! As a triathlete dealing with runner's knee, I was concerned about how it might impact my training. They provided me with targeted exercises that were easy to incorporate into my routine and recommended supplements to aid my recovery. Their expertise, personalized approach, and encouragement made a huge difference. I’m already feeling stronger and more confident as I get back to training. Highly recommend for any athlete!

Jerry and his staff are not only super knowledgeable but they are also used to deal with athletes who want to make sure they can either stay healthy or get back to their athletic activities as soon as possible. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry through triathlons since he is a triathlete himself and have really benefited from his feedback and advice. His strength training circuit has helped me stay healthy and identify areas that I needed to strengthen. His super sets also don't always require weights, which are especially useful when I'm travelling and don't have easy access to a weight room.

Dr. Jerry and Team are incredible. I came to Dr. Jerry at Next Level Physio after surgery to repair complete subscapularis & supraspinous tears and partial bicep tear in my right shoulder. Jerry & Team worked with me to build my movement & strength way ahead of my surgeon's timeline. I was able to get back to swimming 3x a week months before I thought I would be able to. Dr. Jerry's understanding of the need to have full range of motion not only for every day life, but so I could get back to what I love doing. The entire team is committed to providing excellent care with an array of advanced physical therapy techniques, strength training, and overall physical & Mental health. They care deeply for their patients and love having meaning and fun conversations. They are the best and HIGHLY recommend for any PT needs.

After almost 2 years of ongoing knee issues, Dr Jerry has helped me get back to running again. He cares and has been very involved in my recovery. Never once did I feel like just a number or that I was getting a one size-fits-all routine. Thanks Jerry!

Dr Jerry and the team at NL Physio are fantastic! I enjoyed working with Dr Jerry to find the root cause of my injury. It felt like he really cared about me getting better. I had an amazing experience.

I can't express enough how amazing the service has been! After exhausting hours searching for the right place for my son's severe ankle fracture, we found Dr. Jerry and the Cary staff—truly next level! They motivated my son to recover far ahead of the surgeon’s timeline. Megan, in particular, was incredible; her understanding as a fellow athlete made all the difference. This experience has been a testament to the power of dedicated care and encouragement! Definitely a 5 star facility!!!

Dr J and his team are awesome. Very friendly and professional.

I was referred to Next Level Physio in Cary after a shoulder injury during a lifting workout. After a thorough and educational consultation, Jerry put me on a mixed program of dry needling, shockwave therapy, and physical therapy for my shoulder. After 4 sessions, my shoulder is almost healed, and I am back to lifting at 100%. On a side note, I also referred my husband due to severe back pain and after 3 weeks, he is almost pain free and sleeping a full night’s sleep again. I HIGHLY recommend Jerry and Next Level Physio! ***UPDATE 10/15*** My shoulder is 100% healed, no issues at all since. I am back getting treatment for degenerative disk disease (arthritis) in my neck. My pain was at a 7/10 and after a few treatments of dry needling physical therapy, and shockwave therapy Im at a manageable 3/10. I have not have full mobility of my neck in two years and I have 80% more now. Jerry is the one to go to for pain! He doesn't go through the motions like other PT's, he listens and most importantly fixes the problem!

Dr. Jerry helped me improve my running gate and provided exercises to improve my imbalances. The early season visit paid dividends throughout the season. I later saw his team for strength training exercises that I have implemented into my weekly routine. Dr. Jerry and his staff are athletes who treat athletes and know what's needed so you can return to the field or race track. Thank you NLP!!

I came to Next Level Physio with some hip flexor tightness and within minutes Dr. Jerry and his team were able to diagnose strength and running form weaknesses that I had been putting off for years. Truly professional and knowledgeable team that are so fun to be around. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Highly recommend to all my fitness, running, and triathlon friends.

As a triathlete, I keep busy with swimming, biking & running so I sometimes pay less than the ideal attention to stretching and strengthening work. This lead to a slight hamstring strain about 5 weeks before the Boston Marathon. Ugh. I went to visit Dr. Jerry and he greeted me with his usual high energy smile, despite the circumstances. He took a look at my hammy and gave some treatment including dry needling, e-stim, shockwave therapy & bloodflow restriction therapy. Holy cow. He’s got quite an arsenal at his disposal and it really helped me to have a great race at Boston! Thanks for all you do, Dr. Jerry. Your positivity and enthusiasm are contagious.

I had a great experience working with Dr.Jerry and his team at Next Level Physio in Cary! I went to see Dr.Jerry with a painful back/hip injury that occurred a week before the Boston Marathon. NL was extremely accommodating to fit me in at the last minute. Dr.Jerry was able to help get my injury to a point where I could race at Boston. As I continued to work with Dr.Jerry, he recognized that I had functional scoliosis, likely from college rowing. He helped address the root of the problem that was not only contributing to my back/hip injury, but also was causing my chronic shoulder pain. I am now back to swimming and running pain-free and feeling better than before! I highly recommend Dr.Jerry and NL!

As I have gotten into my 40s, I have been plagued with injuries that never seem to go away. I would sprain a groin, tweak a shoulder lifting, hurt my lower back. Each of these injuries, though minor, would keep me from working out and exercising for weeks to month. As soon as I got better, I would start working out again and within 1-2 months I would injure something again. I had even tried other PT but the cycle continued. I am happy to report that thanks to Jerry, Megan and his entire caring and professional team at Next Level Physio we broke out of that cycle! They really are "Next level!" :) It dawned on me that Next Level Physio is a combination of a personal trainer + PT + acupuncturist + barbershop style humor/conversation. During my 3 month program with them, I would attend about once a week. During each visit, if I had tweaked something from the week before Jerry and Megan would be able to do shockwave, acupuncture, massage and monitor my form to ensure I was heading in the right direction. They would update my weekly workout plans and during the week I could message them if I had questions or even send videos if I had questions. There was always a fun, light hearted sense of humor during all of our work. I really looked forward to my PT sessions with them. A testament to their process was that during week 8 or 9, I had a major accident at my home gym. My old, crappy bench unlatched when I was doing incline press and I basically rolled backwards with 40lb dumbells. I don't know how I didn't break my neck but I definitely took a nasty fall. I know for sure that that accident would have put a stop on any exercise activity for a few weeks and any gains I would have made until that point would have been reversed. I was able to see Jerry and Megan a day or two later and they quickly treated the injured area with shockwave and acupuncture. Modified my routine but KEPT ME WORKING OUT! They not only had the know how but also the caring encouragement to ensure that I could keep getting stronger, more mobile, and prevent future injuries or reduce the impact of them. I am convinced that the impact of my accident was less severe due to the previous 8 weeks of strengthening routine we had been doing. Results wise, I am in the best shape of my life. I gained about 7lbs of muscle and decreased my body fat by almost 2 % in only 3 months! And I know that had it not been for the week or two we adjusted the routine due to the injury I would have probably had better results. My chronic injuries are MUCH better to the point that I am back to doing my beloved pull ups :) Something I had not done for over a year do to my shoulder pain. If you have made it this far in the review, I think you get it. I am a fan of Jerry, Megan and his entire Next Level team. I plan to extend my work with them. It's an investment in your health and longevity that is well worth it.

As a 47-year-old runner, maintaining a good physical condition is paramount to my mental health. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the comprehensive care provided by Dr. Jerry and his esteemed team at Next Level Physio in Cary. Their holistic approach to physiotherapy not only addressed my immediate concerns but also targeted the root cause of my issues, ensuring long-term relief and enhanced performance. Upon my initial consultation, Dr. Jerry and his team conducted a thorough assessment, identifying the underlying factors contributing to my discomfort. This diagnostic precision was pivotal in crafting a personalized treatment plan that incorporated a variety of advanced therapies. Firstly, I underwent dry needling sessions, which effectively released muscle tension and alleviated chronic pain. This was complemented by shockwave therapy, a cutting-edge technique that stimulated tissue repair and accelerated my recovery process. Additionally, the integration of blood flow restrictive therapy optimized my rehabilitation efforts, allowing for strength gains without undue strain. What truly set Next Level Physio apart was their hands-on method treatment combined with targeted therapeutic exercises. This approach not only corrected imbalances but also fortified my body against future injuries, empowering me to pursue my passion for running with renewed vigor. Beyond the exceptional care received, I was consistently impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the entire staff. Scheduling appointments was seamless, and they adeptly handled insurance matters, alleviating any administrative burdens and allowing me to focus solely on my recovery. My experience with Dr. Jerry and the Next Level Physio team was nothing short of transformative. Their commitment to excellence, coupled with their innovative treatment modalities, has not only restored my physical and mental well-being but has also revitalized my enthusiasm for running. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-tier physiotherapy in Cary.

As a runner dealing w/ intermittent knee and foot pain for the past 5+ years, I was struggling to find a clinic that understood my needs beyond icing and quick fixes. Next Level met and exceeded my expectations. Dr. Jerry's thorough approach during my initial running eval made it an easy decision to choose NLP for my physical therapy. He assessed my form, strength, nutrition, and explained what was going wrong patiently and clearly. His team crafted weekly plans using different methods that relieved my pain and focused on strengthening my legs, hips, and feet. Every week, we checked progress, alleviated any pain or tightness, and completed strength training geared towards running (single leg, dynamic movements). I truly appreciated his flexibility in pivoting my treatment plan since the regen therapies were out of my budget -- and though my recovery may have been slightly slower, I didn't feel like I was at a disadvantage because of how amazing him and his team are! Since beginning treatment, I've seen real progress! I'm out of day-to-day pain. Just last weekend, I ran 7 miles pain-free, lifting pain-free, and finally walking barefoot without any pain!! Hands down the best physios I've worked with :)

Before discovering Next Level Physio I was no longer able to run due to a chronic hamstring injury. I had been a runner who enjoyed half marathons and regular running schedule. Then 3 half marathons in consecutive months caused a hamstring injury. It was so painful I could not even run a 5K. I had given up on being able to run again. Then a friend recommended I see Jerry at Next Level Physio in Cary, NC. He performed a thorough assessment and started a comprehensive treatment plan. This plan was very different from a typical physical therapist. It included strengthening exercises, dry needling, shock wave therapy, and blood flow restriction. And then I was able to slowly progress to a run and walk routine without any pain! I am very grateful and strongly recommend Jerry and Next Level Physio in Cary!

I’ve played contact sports my whole life and have had a lot of experience with physiotherapists. Dr Jerry is hands down the best physio I’ve had the opportunity to work with. He takes a holistic approach, identifies the root cause and works to solve with my end goals in mind. If you’re running, have niggling pain you just can’t shake or have a an injury from any sort of sport, I would highly recommend seeing Dr Jerry.

Upon reaching out to Next Level Physio in Cary, North Carolina, it quickly became apparent that they go above and beyond in meeting the needs of their clients. The team at Next Level Physio is committed to providing exceptional care, from the warm welcome at the front desk to the personalized physical therapy sessions. As a runner dealing with Achilles tendonitis that was impacting my running and overall fitness activities, Dr. Jerry performed a thorough evaluation, promptly identified underlying issues, and devised an advanced physical therapy program that includes comprehensive strength exercises for both the body and mind. Dr. Jerry moves with intention and his enthusiasm sets the the tone for each session. It is a game-changer to have a doctor who not only grasps the research but also connects with athletes, explaining the rationale behind the exercises and treatments. Each session is tailored to address my specific needs in a one-on-one setting. The integration of advanced therapies like Blood Flow Restriction, Shockwave, and Dry-Needling has significantly expedited my recovery process. In the last month, I have not only recovered but also made substantial strength gains. At Next Level Physio, they evaluate your current status, understand/outline your goals, and strive to surpass expectations in helping you achieve them.

I've started coming to Next Level Physio in Cary about a month ago to address some small aches & pains that popped up right before my race season. I compete as a professional triathlete in the 70.3 distance, and having Jerry & the team at NL on my side has helped tremendously! Not only have my aches & pains gone away, I finished 5th in the pro field at White Lake Half with 0 issues & am still working with the team to address the root cause of my original issues to keep me healthy through the season (& the more to come). The team is very understanding, finding time to fit me in with my full time job & 20 hour training weeks, customizing my treatment around my hectic race calendar, and more importantly, makes me feel seen and understood. I haven't seen a PT prior to coming to NL, but I'm sure to keep them in my calendar to keep me healthy!

I came to Dr. Jerry at Next Level Physio with an unusual pain in my leg that I had never experienced before as a runner. With a 20 mile trail race just a few short weeks away, I needed a cure ASAP! They were able to quickly diagnose and determine the Root Cause of the issue through a very thorough and comprehensive process. To keep it short, I was able to compete in the race and my pain has gone away. In my experience Next Level Physio isn't just about treating the symptoms and making you "feel" better...they take a full body approach to determining the cause and preventing it from being a problem any longer. They even pointed out areas where I was deficient in my diet and gave advice to correct it which further prevents future injuries. If you have something bothering you, don't hesitate any longer! Go see the team at Next Level and get fixed up.

I highly recommend Next Level Physio! I have been working with Dr. Jerry for the past two months, having come in for pain in my left hip crease. After the initial evaluation, I immediately knew I was in the right place. I am a triathlete and first time mom. After having my daughter last year, I have suffered from a few injuries I have never dealt with before. I saw another PT for the first two injuries, and while they helped me recover from those specific injuries, they didn't address the big picture or root cause. Dr. Jerry has helped me get back to running pain free and overall stronger and more injury resilient. I was able to run the Tobacco Road Half Marathon with NO PAIN, and it was my longest run postpartum by three miles! I am looking forward to building from here and so happy to be back to pain-free running.

I can't say enough about Next Level Physio! I contacted their office in Cary, NC with complaints regarding excruciating pain in my left ribs/cartilage after a fall last autumn. Boy, was it painful!! My physician had diagnosed me with costochondritis and advised me to be patient with recovery, and he prescribed painkillers. The pain, which I determined was a 14 on a pain scale of 1-10, did not go away and the painkillers did not relieve it. I was sooo miserable! I did some research and came across Next Level Physio which seemed to promise cutting-edge treatment to treat pain such as the one I was experiencing. I felt encouraged to learn that Dr. Jerry Yoo had experience treating costochondritis and had even experienced the pain himself at one time. We came up with a treatment plan to alleviate the pain, which included dry needling, cupping, shockwave therapy and deep massages. Slowly, week by week, the pain decreased until it reached a 1 on the pain scale. I am SOO grateful for Dr. Jerry's methodology of treating the pain. Each week, he listened to me and adjusted his treatment as necessary; he was so patient! My pain is no longer a 'debilitating pain,' but is now a 'general soreness' and a subtle one at that. I am more active now and able to do tasks that I could not do when I was in such pain. Thank you sooo much Dr. Jerry; I could NOT have gone this far without you!! I am nearing the end of treatment for the costochondritis and will soon be switching over to strength training and physical exercises to improve my muscles and balance. I am confident that under Dr. Jerry's guidance, I will soon be in the best shape I've ever been. In my opinion, Next Level Physio is THE place to go to for treatment of muscle injuries and challenging conditions. Dr. Jerry and his staff have proven to be diligent in getting the results you need to thrive.

I cannot recommend Dr. Jerry Yoo and his team at Next Level Physio highly enough. In short, the treatment that I have received there since January 2024 has been life-changing. I am a 6’3”, 205 lb male in my 40s and have had intermittent lower back issues for years, including disc bulges of various sizes at L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1. Historically, my lower back would flare up for 1 – 2 weeks before the pain subsided. This changed during a trip in November 2022. After my first night away, I woke up with excruciating pain in my lower back & hips and with my torso noticeably shifted laterally to the right. This began a year+ search for relief. In addition to regularly taking various anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, lidocaine gel/patches), I had physical therapy at a large PT facility in the RTP area, numerous chiropractic visits, multiple massages, an epidural steroid injection, and a radiofrequency ablation. Unfortunately, none of these resolved my issues and the pain continued, unabated. In order to get through my daily life, I avoided sitting for longer than 10 – 15 minutes at a time (most often, I laid on my back on the floor), frequently wore a tightly cinched back belt when sitting and standing, put myself in spinal traction by utilizing an inversion table, and used various at-home tools (theragun, lacrosse ball, theracane, acupressure pillow) to massage the areas of pain. These occasionally provided temporary relief, but the underlying problem and the associated pain continued. In January 2024, a random google search for “lower back physical therapy” in Raleigh/Cary resulted in me scheduling an appointment with Dr. Jerry at Next Level Physio. At the first appointment, I provided Dr. Jerry with a typed detailed narrative of my pain and treatment history along with copies of my x-rays, MRIs, and visit notes from the orthopedist and previous physical therapist. He reviewed everything and sat with me to go over this history. He explained that he frequently sees individuals with similar lower back pain and has successfully treated many patients with a lateral shift to their torso. After the initial consultation, I started bi-weekly (2x per week) appointments. In full disclosure, I have been leery about making such frequent appointments at medical providers in the past as it has seemed like overkill, while also being inconvenient and expensive. However, after 14 months in pain, I proceeded with the appointments. At the early appointments, Dr. Jerry started “Phase 1” of my rehabilitation. This involved relieving the pain I was in and starting to strengthen my lower back, core, and hips. He utilized dry needling with electric stimulation and shockwave therapy. He also started me with low intensity stretching and exercises that addressed the lateral shift in my back and provided me with a detailed, at-home low-intensity exercise and stretching program. Within 1 – 2 weeks, I could feel the pain in my back and hips starting to subside. After ~4 – 5 weeks, I moved onto phase 2, which involved increasing stability and strength in my lower back and core. Dr. Jerry used higher intensity exercises with an emphasis on rotation and strengthening as well as continued application of dry needling with stim and shockwave therapy. As of March 1 st , I have moved onto phase 3, which has involved more high intensity exercises with a focus on further strength building and endurance. At this point, I am able to perform exercises like weighted lunges, Romanian deadlifts, renegade rows, and goblet squats without pain and without requiring a weight belt. A couple weeks ago, I also took a pain-free 6-hour road trip. Thank you again to Dr. Jerry and his team. After over a year of constant pain and discomfort, I could never have imagined that I would improve so dramatically in such a short period of time.

Individual attention, customized treatment and a full variety of therapeutic techniques. Great value. Staff puts their heart into the practice and every patient.

I am a runner that had been battling plantar fasciitis for 18+ months. I had tried various remedies and physical therapy with little to no improvement. I would think it was better and then just "push through it" on my training plan and through me next race. I practically limped my way halfway through a race in August 2023 before dropping out. In September 2023, I went to a podiatrist to have it checked out and they fed me the same stretches and remedies I had failed me in the past. Upon a referral from a friend, I got connected with Dr. Jerry at Next Level Physio in October 2023. He really took the extra time to analyze me and develop a plan. Dr. Jerry helped to get to the root of my problem and create a plan for a long term fix. With his holistic approach to sleep, nutrition, therapy and exercises, I was on my way to recovery. The plantar fasciitis and heel spur were just a symptom of other issues. Dr. Jerry did a great job a putting a plan together and coaching me through it! There were times I would get frustrated because like everyone, I want result RIGHT NOW, and that is not always the way it works. Runners are by nature impatient with injuries, but I continued to trust in the plan and keep working through the exercises. I was already committed to an Ultra Marathon in February 2024, that I had all but given up on. But not Dr. Jerry - he had a plan for that too! He started building more running and miles into my plan, while continuing with the existing program. This past weekend, I was able to run and complete the race!! I have a heart of gratitude to Dr. Jerry and NLP for everything they did to get me to this point. I gladly refer NLP any chance I get!

I first stepped into Next Level Physio in Fall 2022, battling a glute injury that was sidelining my marathon training. With the Boston Marathon on the horizon, anxiety was setting in over my ability to compete. However, Next Level's exceptional approach and treatment, which correctly identified my back as the root cause rather than my glute, was a game-changer. Not only did they address my immediate concerns, but they also helped me navigate through Achilles issues, ensuring I could run the race, albeit with slightly adjusted training. Fast forward to Fall 2023, as I geared up for another marathon season, I returned to Next Level, aiming for a proactive approach to my training regimen. Despite my efforts, small glute and hip issues persisted and I was worried that another catastrophic problem could be on the horizon. Enter Dr. Jerry, whose holistic approach to treatment—factoring in nutrition, sleep habits, and overall well-being—was nothing short of incredible. He quickly pinpointed form issues and a pelvic misalignment, demonstrating an impressive ability to diagnose and address the underlying causes of my problems. Thanks to Dr. Jerry's expertise, not only has my running form improved, and hip injuries thus far been nonexistent, but I've also seen a significant reduction in other recurring knocks. Remarkably, I've been able to stop my continuous use of KT tape and pesky shoe inserts, a testament to the effectiveness of his treatment plan. Next Level Physio, spearheaded by the remarkable Dr. Jerry, has transformed my approach to running and overall health. Their commitment to treating the individual, not just the symptoms, has left me healthier, stronger, and faster. I cannot recommend Next Level highly enough for anyone seeking comprehensive and genuinely transformative physical therapy.

I cannot recommend Next Level Physio highly enough! They are simply amazing in every possible aspect of physical therapy treatment. They truly are "Next Level". They were recommended to me by a nurse during my second visit to an ER with severe lower back pain for which I had no definitive cause. At my first visit to Next Level, I could not stand straight, sit or walk without pain. Dr. Yoo (Jerry) performed a thorough evaluation, asked questions about my goals for PT and explained their methods of treatment to be sure we were on the same page. He is very focused on his clients during treatment and an active listener. My goals were to be pain free and return to the activities I loved; golf, pickleball and yoga. Within three weeks, my pain was virtually gone and we began working on building strength and endurance. Jerry has a talent for knowing your limits and pushing you just the right amount to ensure progress without regression. Within 5 weeks I was playing golf again and after 8 weeks, I was back to all activities; feeling healthier and stronger than I have in years. The entire staff, especially Chloe in Cary and Yvonne in NJ are helpful, caring and supportive, whether adjusting appointment schedules, coaching exercise programs or working out insurance issues. They are simply the BEST. I would not go anywhere else for Physical Therapy care.

Dr. Jerry has helped me a tremendous amount. I just signed up for a 1/2 marathon in April! I never thought that I’d ever run that far!

Next Level PT has been fundamental in my knee injury recovery. I enjoy having personalized care of the highest level. Dr. Jerry Yoo is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

The most personalized medical care I've ever received. I came to NLP after a major muscle tear in my shoulder from lifting. I thought I'd be given a set of stretches and sent on my way, but received a much more holistic approach. I was given a full body assessment, not just focusing on my shoulder but the entire state of my body and how to make recovery the fastest and most effective, including proper sleep, protein intake, muscle symmetry, posture, etc. Once we set a goal together, I was given a full explanation of multiple treatment options, and Dr. Jerry was clear and upfront with the pricing of each one (not just some handwave of "eh whatever insurance says it'll cost"). Sessions are focused, effective, and informative, and I am back to 100%, lifting just as much as I was pre-injury while also more knowledgeable about how to prevent injury in the future. Cannot recommend enough.
