Dr. Jack Wong is the owner and founder of Next Level Physical Therapy and has been helping people stay active, healthy and mobile since 2012. He is the author of the bestselling book Aging Stronger and received his Doctorate Of Physical Therapy from Touro College.

Next Level Physical Therapy was founded by Dr. Jack Wong to help clients achieve active and healthy lives and prevent them from the downward spiral of frequent doctor visits, hospitalizations, surgery and dependence on pain medications.

Dr. Wong specializes in helping people aged 40+ become independent by promoting healthy habits that improve mobility and reduce pain levels. After observing many patients not making significant improvements under the traditional medical care system, Dr. Wong decided to open a clinic where he could revolutionize physical therapy and health & wellness treatment methods.

Ryan

Operations Manager

Born and raised in Texas, Ryan moved to Houston in July 2009 from the small (at the time) town of Brenham. He is a storyteller through and through, and when he isn’t telling the story of Next Level Physical Therapy he is probably listening to a podcast or buried in a book somewhere. Growing up he was an avid reader, technology enthusiast, writer, gamer, musician, camera man, adventurer, and bard. Nowadays he lives on the Northside of Houston with his family; his wife, Ana, and their five children. When you stop in the clinic, don’t forget to ask him about coffee or comics if you have a few hours to waste. Or give him a snack and he will probably go away (disclaimer: We don’t encourage feeding the staff).

Meet John, our assistant video editor and graphic designer. Hailing all the way from the Philippines, John’s international background adds a unique and diverse perspective to our practice.

In fact, John’s artistic prowess has gained recognition beyond his design work. He was featured on a prime time television news program for his tagline creation. The program showcased his fun and relatable piece titled ‘Nagmahal, Nasaktan, ___,’ leaving a lasting impact on viewers nationwide.

John’s talents don’t end there! When he’s not editing or honing his skills, you can find him strumming a lead guitar at a local church, using music to inspire and uplift others.
