NEXT Physio & Training, PLLC was founded in 2023 to help people prepare physically for the next step in their lives. Built on a passion for both rehabilitation and performance, NEXT exists to provide everyone - from elite athletes to those new to training - with the knowledge, tools, and support to move confidently, safely, and effectively.

We intentionally use the term “Physio” in our name to reflect a holistic approach to movement and wellness. While “physical therapy” often focuses primarily on injury recovery, physiotherapy encompasses both rehabilitation and proactive performance training. This perspective allows us to not only help clients recover from injuries but also to prevent future injuries, optimize athletic performance, and improve overall physical function.

At NEXT, our goal is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance. We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality, evidence-based care and training - whether your goal is to return to sport after an injury, enhance athletic performance, or simply feel stronger and more capable in everyday life.
