Karlee
Office Manager
Karlee was born and raised in a small town just outside of Houston. She grew up playing a variety of sports including basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball, and tumbling/gymnastics. When she isn’t hard at work on the next big Next Level PT project, you can find Karlee playing with her weenie dog (Bailey), listening to true crime podcasts, refereeing basketball, or trying something new like upcycling old furniture. Her desire to live an active and fulfilling lifestyle inspired her to be a part of an industry to help people get back to what they love doing. Her favorite thing about working here? To have “Koffee with Karlee” time with patients.

Ryan
Marketing Assistant
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 four 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).
