The 3-Step Process for Recovery and Longevity
Next Level’s approach to physical therapy is rooted in a proven 3-step process that promotes recovery, resilience, and long-term success.
Step One: Resetting Phase
The resetting phase focuses on realigning the body and relieving pain. By addressing the root cause of dysfunction, this foundational phase sets the stage for effective rehabilitation.
Alignment and Pain Relief: Hands-on techniques and targeted exercises are used to reposition the body and reduce pain.
Incorporating Breathwork: Breathwork is introduced to improve diaphragm function and overall posture, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Step Two: Retraining Phase
In this phase, the focus shifts to re-educating the muscles and nervous system to create new, healthy movement patterns.
Correcting Imbalances: Exercises are designed to balance dominant muscles and improve coordination between the brain and body.
Building Functional Strength: This phase ensures that the body learns to move efficiently, reducing the risk of future injuries.
Step Three: Resiliency Phase
The final phase prepares clients for a return to their favorite activities, stronger and more confident than ever before.
Task-Specific Training: Exercises are tailored to the client’s specific sport, job, or daily tasks to build endurance and resilience.
Preventing Recurrence: By focusing on long-term strength and mobility, this phase minimizes the chances of re-injury and supports sustained progress.
Next Level Physical Therapy is dedicated to guiding clients through each step of their journey, ensuring they emerge not just pain-free, but empowered to live an active, fulfilling life. Let me know if you’d like further expansion or refinement!
Specialized Services Offered at Next Level Physical Therapy
Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) Method: Rebalancing Your Body for Lasting Relief
The Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) method is a groundbreaking approach to physical therapy that addresses the unique asymmetries of the human body. At Next Level Physical Therapy in Tequesta, FL, highly trained and certified PRI practitioners use this innovative method to identify and correct imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction.
What Makes the PRI Method Unique?
- Understanding Asymmetries: The human body is naturally asymmetrical, with certain muscles and movements dominating one side over the other. These imbalances can cause overuse of muscle chains, excessive stress on joints, and an increased risk of injury.
- Correcting Root Causes: Unlike traditional therapies that may only address symptoms, PRI focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.
- Custom Solutions: Each person’s biomechanical challenges are unique, and PRI provides tailored strategies to restore balance and prevent future issues.
Benefits of the PRI Method
- Pain Reduction: Relieves discomfort by addressing imbalances in muscle activation and joint alignment.
- Improved Movement Patterns: Restores symmetry in movement, reducing compensatory behaviors.
- Injury Prevention: Helps you avoid future injuries by correcting postural and muscular dysfunction.
- Enhanced Performance: Ideal for athletes and active individuals looking to optimize strength and efficiency.
Clinical Pilates: Strengthening Core Stability for Recovery and Performance
Clinical Pilates at Next Level Physical Therapy combines the principles of the traditional Pilates method with modern musculoskeletal research. This personalized system of exercises focuses on building core strength, improving posture, and enhancing overall movement quality.
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is tailored to your specific needs and goals, making it an effective tool for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement. Sessions can be individual or in small groups, with every movement supervised by a physical therapist to ensure proper technique.
How Does Clinical Pilates Work?
- Core Activation: Exercises target the deep spinal muscles, enhancing spinal stability and reducing stress on joints.
- Customized Progression: Movements are adjusted to match your ability and pain levels, progressing as you build strength and confidence.
- Biomechanical Focus: Each exercise is designed to correct your unique movement patterns, improving functional performance and reducing the risk of re-injury.
Benefits of Clinical Pilates
- Faster Recovery: Strengthens key muscles needed for stability and healing.
- Improved Flexibility and Posture: Helps align the body, promoting efficient movement.
- Injury Prevention: Builds resilience by strengthening weak areas and addressing imbalances.
- Sport-Specific Gains: Enhances performance in activities ranging from golf to running.
Manual Therapy: Hands-On Healing for Holistic Recovery
Manual therapy at Next Level Physical Therapy is a hands-on approach that uses gentle mobilization techniques to restore movement, decrease pain, and accelerate healing. Unlike chiropractic care, manual therapy focuses on soft tissue, fascia, and joint mobilization without high-velocity manipulation.
Techniques Used in Manual Therapy
- Soft Tissue Manipulation: Releases tension in muscles and fascia, improving circulation and flexibility.
- Joint Mobilization: Restores joint function by addressing stiffness and misalignment.
- Specialized Approaches: Techniques include cranial osteopathy, taping, cupping, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM).
Breathe Better with Manual Therapy
Next Level therapists integrate breathing techniques to:
- Improve diaphragm positioning for optimal breathing mechanics.
- Enhance rib cage mobility and alignment.
- Reduce tension in the pelvic and hip areas to support better overall posture.
Benefits of Manual Therapy
- Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort caused by tight muscles and restricted joints.
- Improved Mobility: Restores natural movement and flexibility in affected areas.
- Enhanced Circulation: Boosts blood flow to aid healing and recovery.
- Holistic Results: Addresses the entire body, not just the site of pain, for comprehensive improvement.

At Next Level Physical Therapy, self-pay options provide clients with an unparalleled level of care, flexibility, and efficiency. By choosing self-pay physical therapy, clients avoid the limitations of insurance-based care and gain access to treatments that prioritize their unique needs and goals.
