There are many physical therapists in this area, but it's not easy to find a good one. I'm a fairly active senior on Medicare, and have been very disappointed in the past by senior-focused therapists who don't actually fix anything. By the time you strip out the padding: the 10-minute heat pad warm up session, the 15-minute workout on your own, the 10-minute electrostim session, and the 15-minutes cold pack cool down, there's barely any time left for the massage and manipulation that actually resolves the problem. So I was delighted to discover Next Level Physio. This review is a thank you to Yelp since it was through Yelp that I first discovered them. I've been treated by Dr. John and Dr. Pam twice now in past years for two issues with excellent results: a chronic overuse arm problem, and neck mobility issues. And right now I'm being helped by Dr. John recover from a fall on to some rocks that caused significant hamstring and back injuries. Sessions last a full hour. Typically they start with deep tissue massage for 20 minutes or so, long enough that you feel you got more than your money's worth. Then some exercises and stretches on the table, a few minutes warm-up on a bike or rowing machine, then on to the exercise circuit. Usually you have three activities to do per circuit, for three circuits altogether. Be prepared to work for your recovery: as soon as is feasible they get you exercising. One feature of this that I like is that every exercise session is different, since they are continually adjusted as your recovery proceeds. They don't get you just to normal fitness: if you let them they will take you on to an athlete level, so don't be surprised if you eventually find yourself invited to do "Bear Crawls"! Next Level has a great atmosphere, with a younger person's vibe to it, especially the music selection, but as a senior I've always felt perfectly welcome. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

I highly recommend visiting Jerry if you are an athlete with chronic injuries. As an athlete himself, I felt that he understood where I was coming from as a side-lined runner. I drove all the way from Albany, NY to be treated by Jerry, and it was absolutely worth it! For years I have been told by every PT, chiropractor and ortho that having a labral tear caused by FAI in my hip meant that I would have to quit running, which I did for a period. This didn't help resolve my hip pain at all, so not only could I not run, but I was in pain. Jerry is the first person who looked at my MRI, took the time to explain the labral tear to me, and gave me hope that I will run and race again! Triggerpoint dry needling was among the techniques Jerry used to treat me, and it changed everything! After years of hip pain, I now have total confidence that with more treatments from Jerry I will be running again... pain-free! read more

Last October I ran my 2nd half marathon and experience a lot of knee pain during and after the race. I had already been going to Dr. Jerry for back and neck issues, but now needed work done on my knee. Dr. Jerry treated my knee, cupped my knee, gave me exercises to build strength in my knee, and also had me do lots of running drills to help change the way I run. Last weekend, I ran another half marathon. I was nervous about how my knee would feel and whether I would be able to finish the race. I didn't PR, but I didn't experience any knee pain throughout the entire race and my recovery was short and sweet. I consider this a win! A BIG thank you to Dr. Jerry at Next Level Sport Physical Therapy for pushing me to keep going and whenever I doubted myself, tell me, "You'll be fine. You can do it." The support at Next Level Physical Therapy is amazing. read more

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! read more

I've been working with Dr Jerry Yoo for years now. I always manage to ding myself up and he always fixes me. As an athlete, it's very important to me to be able to work with a doctor that is also an athlete so he can understand any issues I have along with my goals and help me achieve them. Dr Yoo and Next Level provides that for me every time. Most recently I called Dr Yoo the day before a race hoping he could tape my knee. Not only did he do this for me on short notice, he did an additional treatment. In the race I was able to run 32 miles in 5 hours 52 minutes(timed event as opposed to set distance) getting 2nd place and this was 7 months after knee surgery that Dr Yoo and Next Level rehabbed me from. If you have any type of physical therapy need, do not hesitate to go to Next Level. read more

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!! read more

I highly recommend Next Level Physical Therapy. Jerry is very knowledgeable and really takes his time with each person he works with. I had back pain for years and saw many PTs, chiropractors, and massage therapists with no luck until I found Jerry. After only a few visits my pain was already improving. Jerry takes a look at the big picture and has various techniques and exercises that I've never seen at any other PT I've been too. On top of being a great physical therapist, he is great with athletes. I run competitively and see Jerry on a regular basis for strength training and nutritional advice. Overall, it is the perfect place to go for me to take care of nagging injuries and get stronger in order to compete at a higher level. read more

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, and after a year of pain, I finally feel ready to compete again. Thank you Dr. Nick and your incredibly sharp elbows! read more

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! read more

I started going to Jerry and John in October as a recommendation I was very concerned I've been training for the Philadelphia marathon which would be in November but I've struggled with foot and ankle injuries I was not even sure if I was going to be well enough to run the marathon. Not only did Dr. Jerry and John kept me well enough to run the marathon I felt great after so much so I was still able to run a 10k 4 days after the marathon. The best part is they are always able to iron out my kinks that may come up through out me training - they are also working on strength training exercises with me to continue to keep me healthy and running :) read more

Working with Jerry these past few months have been so tremendously helpful!!! He is a fantastic problem solver! Back in February I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus with an LCL sprain. After surgery was recommended by an orthopedist I had a friend recommended Jerry at Next Level Sports. When I began treatment I was walking with a limp. I have progressed so much so that I am back to my normal work out regimen! Surgery avoided!! I would recommend Jerry's practice to anyone!!! It is an extremely comfortable and professional environment that services many diverse clients!! It's strange to say, but I will miss going and seeing everyone!!! read more

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. read more

I had shoulder reconstruction surgery and was recommended to Next Level for Physical Therapy by a friend. From the first day I started I was so glad I came here. The whole faculty is amazing. Dr. John was the main Doctor I went to and he couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. They are very dedicated to their patients. I have also used Dr Jerry, the students, and any of the employees who are their to learn and each and everyone of them were very knowledge and there to help. I would highly recommend Next Level for any type of Physical Therapy. You will have nothing short of a great experience. read more

I had knee replacement surgery on 10/30/17 and have been going to Next Level 2/3 times a week.Jerry,John and the therapists are fantastic.They somehow managed to blend compassion with the demanding rigors of PT for successful results.For my rehab, every session was at a little different and one session built onto the other until my flexion and extension in my surgical knee is now equal to my good knee.Although PT would not qualify as fun the people at Next Level make you part of their team and everyone there cares about getting you better. read more

Jerry and Pam were wonderful in treating my several hip issues. I was in considerable pain while performing many activities of daily living as well as during my regular gym workouts. With treatment and exercise, after about 2 months, my pain has all but disappeared and my range of motion has increased. Next Level PT(Woodcliff Lake) does take it to the next level and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of strengthening and PT help. read more
