Generic Care Will Always Fall Short

Cookie-cutter programs and rotating therapists won't unlock your full potential. Here's what happens when your care isn't designed for performance.

Generic Rehab Plans That Don't Fit

One-size-fits-all approaches overlook how your body actually moves and what your goals require.

Temporary Relief, Zero Lasting Results

Quick fixes might ease the pain today, but they don't address the root cause or prevent re-injury.

No Clear Path Back
to Performance

You're left guessing when you can return to training or if you'll ever feel confident again.

What Our Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it—hear from the athletes and active adults we've helped get back to their best.

Excellent experience. Very highly educated and passionate about what he does. After only three visits my back already feels better. Wish he wasn’t a rangers fan, but can’t have it all!

Matthew

I had such a quality experience at Elevate Dynamics for my physical therapy. The physical therapist, Matt, is professional and knowledgeable. He was very patient working with me and helping me rebuild strength in my shoulder after suffering an AC muscle tear. I also really appreciated his guidance as I started to return to workouts. Matt not only treated my injury but then served as an excellent resource for helping think about modifications to make as I built my muscle back and helped put my mind at ease. The facility, which is an offshoot of a local Crossfit, is super clean and welcoming. Matt was also really flexible working with my schedule. I highly recommend Elevate Dynamics to any Long Islander needing physical therapy. Matt will have you feeling better in no time!

Susan McNeilly

Elevate Dynamic’s approach to Physical Therapy can’t be beat. I went in about a reoccuring shoulder injury I’ve had for years, and Matt was immediately able to help, with lasting results. The experience was extremely personalized, with a care and focus I have never experienced at a physical therapist before. I never really believed in physical therapy before my eperience here, and now I can’t recommend his work enough.

Joe Mastanduno

If you want a passionate PT with great quality care, this is the place to go! I came to Matt with a nagging shoulder injury that inhibited my normal activities. I went many other routes to try and correct my issue with no success. The dedication and purpose of the treatment is unmatched! If you want one on one care unlike the other run of the mill PT places, look no further! Highly recommend! Thank you again Matt!

Anthony Simon

Saw Matt a few times dealing with some wear and tear issues from old surgeries and working in the blue collar field. He has helped me tremendously with pain and mobility issues. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable when is comes to physical therapy. Will continue to go see him in the future!

Bryan Pouria

Highly recommend working with Matt Chan! He is extremely professional, patient, and understanding. He is very mindful in all that he does and works hard to help people get to where they want to be.

Tara Pino

What a great experience at Elevate Dynamics physical therapy. I came to see Matt with a shoulder injury I’ve been dealing with. I really appreciated how he took the time to ask questions and properly assess the situation before diving in. You could tell his practice is tailored to each persons individual needs and not a cookie cutter “one size fits all” approach, which you don’t come across very often. He was very thorough with his treatment and even gave me some extra exercises to do to strengthen my muscles. After my very first visit, I already saw a huge improvement in my mobility which gave me a boost of confidence and made me feel more comfortable working out and lifting weights again. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend visiting this facility if you’re searching for a very knowledgable physical therapist who truly cares about your well being👍

Dana Briante

I was having lower back pain, both in and out of the gym.  After my initial consultation and session, I felt confident that Matt would be able to help me.  I appreciate the one on one care and attention to my specific issue. The post session communication and at home exercises were easy to follow. Definitely recommend Matt and Elevate Dynamics PT.

Charles Dougherty

My son is a runner and sustained an injury that prevented him from running for 6 months. Matt was able to provide a thorough assessment of my son's injury and customized a treatment plan for him. My son is back to running and it is due to Matt’s knowledge and attentiveness to my son’s needs. I highly recommend Elevate Dynamics Physical Therapy!

Mary Ammirati

Matt is the best! As an athlete, nothing is more upsetting than an injury and that’s why having a really good PT is so important. Aside from his extensive knowledge and experience Matt’s gentle approach to helping you rehab is top tier. He does his movement tests, comes up with the protocol to help you heal, all with encouraging words and friendly conversation. His wonderful personality makes me feel like we are long time friends and my healing process was a great success. I highly recommend for those out there in need of PT, you won’t regret this choice!

Danny F

Matt is a true pro! He spent a great deal of time with me at the initial evaluation, explaining each step and the outcomes/goals to expect. Our sessions were challenging and rewarding and he gave me back my life - pain free! A++

Jacqueline O'Connor

I started seeing Matt for some calf pain I was having while running. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to tell me almost immediately that it was Achilles tendinitis. We did a few sessions together with exercises that helped strengthen my legs. He gave exercises to take home on an app that was very easy to use. I was able to run the LI marathon without even having KT tape on! Thank you Matt for your time and helping me recover properly! I highly recommend Elevate Dynamics PT to any anyone looking for top quality PT services for recovery!!

Maressa Villa

Such an amazing experience working with Matt on my extreme foot pain and knee pain. Professional, knowledgeable, kind, caring and funny! His approach was personalized and I was able to achieve long lasting results. Highly recommend. Excellent experience!

Susan Virtuoso

I came to Dr. Chan at Elevate Dynamics PT after injuring my back. I’ve dealt with low back issues for years because of work, and in June it popped and I was in so much pain I could barely stand up. I was referred to PT and decided on Elevate after my initial consultation. Dr. Chan is caring and listens to your concerns. Not only does he provide care, he gives you the tools to better yourself at home. After my sessions at Elevate I was able to successfully compete in a CrossFit competition in September. When I hurt my back I was positive I’d have to withdraw. Thanks to Dr. Chan I not only competed, I felt great doing it. I really can’t say enough good things about this practice. If you’re looking for PT, for whatever reason, schedule your consult here and see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Joseph P

If you’re looking for a skilled, patient- centered, and goal-oriented physical therapist, I highly recommend Matt. I’ve worked with many PTs, and where Matt stands out is in his personalized approach. He tailors a program for you and makes changes as necessary, taking your concerns into account. I most appreciate that Matt is invested in his patients not just as patients, but as people who he wants to help reach their goals.

Lauren Glassbrook

When I first came to Matt, I was suffering from a back spasm that left me immobilized. Our original goal was to simply get through a day without experiencing any pain, and now 3 months later I am running and lifting weights regularly and feel more flexible than i ever have been. He takes great pride and care in his work and gives you the personal attention needed to stay on track with your goals. I could not recommend enough.

Chris Mastanduno

Matt was very detailed in explaining my shoulder injury and provided a comprehensive physical training program to relive my discomfort and lead me to a road to recovery without a MRI or even suggesting surgery. Communication is top notch!

Joseph Sollitto

Matt is very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed how his sessions involved hands on therapy and the ability to lift weights under his supervision. Really happy with the experience at Elevate Dynamics PT.

Peter Ortega

Amazing physical therapist! One on one care, great manual therapy, extremely knowledgeable. Stays in touch about my progress and athletic goals. Got me to be able to return to running after a long chronic injury. Would recommend to any athlete or person. Thank you!!

Bianca Luparello

I’m so glad I live and work close to Elevate Dynamics! They have a very welcoming, clean and well-equipped atmosphere. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. He helped me rehab my old knee injury and provided me with simple & effective exercises that I could do at home. I was feeling better after just a few days of practicing them. He also taught me about how to use a foam roller in useful ways for the entire body. I highly recommend visiting Elevate Dynamics for physical therapy!

jenna mannino

Matt is a great PT. Have been to multiple PT’s and have never gotten more out of it until I started going to Elevate Dynamics. He works on you, shows you stretches, workouts and is an extremely personable guy to be around. Highly recommend! Feeling great.

Frank Sharp

Went to go see Matt for some hip pain bothering me. Within a 15 minute evaluation Matt listened to all my concerns , did a thorough exam including day to day movements that might be affected. After the evaluation, we sat and talked about where my pain is stemming from and ways / exercises that can help strengthen & stretch the area. The email of my stretches and exercises was clearly defined, easy to follow and so helpful so I didn't have to remember everything by word of mouth!! Matt has since checked up on me over the following 2 weeks, and I'm happy to say I have had no pain since implementing his suggestions. Very thorough, educated and helpful practice!!

Hailey Zuena

Working with Dr. Matt Chan at elevate dynamics physical therapy has been life-changing for me! When I first started with Matt, I was experiencing pain In my lower back and tightness in my shoulders that limited my ability to do the ordinary things around the house. Since working with Matt, the pain has gone, and my mobility has increased tremendously. I can now do physical chores around the house and not worry about The pain that used to follow. His knowledge and patient approach to healing and flexibility is the best I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend his services to anyone experiencing what they think is chronic pain

Joe Mastanduno

Matt is amazing. He is knowledgeable and caring. He listens to your concerns and responds honestly. The entire session is devoted to you, unlike typical PT facilities where they bring you to a machine, set you up, and leave while you exercise. But most importantly, after four years of burning in my hip when walking, I am burn free! I highly, highly recommend Matt

Helene Gruber

Matt is amazing! I went to him with a neck injury- a “pinched nerve” in my terms. It was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I was looking for ANY relief! He took the time to evaluate the problem and come up with a plan tailored to what I needed. Even after the first session, I started to feel some relief!! Matt is very patient and he really listens to what you tell him you’re feeling and he will change plans on the spot based on that. I HIGHLY recommend Matt for your physical therapy needs! We joked about how my cartwheel days might be over (although he says it’s a good goal for me 😆) but I feel confident and ready to enjoy a Disney vacation with my husband and kids and ride all the rides without fear that my neck will bother me! Thank you for helping me!!

Alison Varsam

Matt is amazing, I am so grateful for what he does for me. I am a big runner and I see Matt once a week to stay healthy as I am training for my races. Anytime something comes up he helps me address it. He is super responsive, if something is bothering me before I can get in for my visit he tells me what to do so I can keep running. Anytime I have needed to reschedule a visit he is super flexible. Can’t recommend him enough!!!

Jessica Donohue

Matt at Elevated Dynamics is very knowledgeable and helpful with his treatment. Available any time for questions and guidance. After my PT sessions with him, I was able to get my partially torn rotator cuff back to full health. I highly recommend for anyone trying to heal an injury.

Ryan Dispirito

Matt Chan at Elevate Dynamics is incredible! Super knowledgeable, patient, and always makes you feel comfortable. I look forward to going to see Matt every week. It’s been 3 weeks now and I already feel a major difference. Looking forward to the next 3 weeks. You can tell he is extremely passionate about helping people move and feel better. If you need a physical therapist who truly cares, look no further

Dominick Priore

I had an amazing experience at this clinic. They really worked with me on my body and focused on what I needed as an active adult. Every session was hands-on and personalized and I could feel the difference in my strength, mobility, and overall movement. The team knows their stuff and genuinely cares about helping you feel your best. I feel better than I have in years and would recommend them to anyone who wants real results.

Tyler Marsden

I HIGHLY recomment Matt. Matt is a gifted physical therapist. And this is a TOTALLY different experience than any other PT I have had. In the past I was in a bustling super busy office where I got about 5% of the PT's attention while I did the same exercises that I could do at home. Matt has just one patient at a time- so you get his undivided attention. He really listens to me and offers helpful exercises and suggestions. Then he works on my knees for most of the hour long session. From the first session, my knees began to feel better. He is a magician!

Miriam Lyman

Matthew is the best! He is really amazing with his work and has an amazing personality. He makes every session a great experience and my lower back pain has gone away with his therapy and exercises! I’m very satisfy.

nana bucaros

Overall very helpful Matt knows his stuff I originally went there with the intention of fixing my form in all my major lifts and a certain muscle imbalance that caused injuries over time; Matt exceeded expectations addressed certain mobility issues which caused the imbalance, fixed my form, and overall improved my overall way of lifting. I highly recommend!

Chris M.

Matt is the absolute best. His expertise in his field, combined with his elite fitness level, truly makes him one of a kind. He understands that clients need to not only recover, but also grow stronger—while still being able to integrate the gym into their everyday lives. Simply put, working with Matt is one of the best investments you can make in your health and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers about our services, process, and what to expect.

Where are you located?

We are located at 5714 Old Sunrise Hwy, Massapequa, NY. We share the same address as CrossFit Chief Nation. Treatments take place in a separate room inside of the gym. There is an entrance to the room from inside the gym and outside.

Where do I park?

There is a parking lot you can use. The lot may be crowded at times due to gym classes. If you have trouble finding a spot, call the office phone number and we will come out and assist you in finding a spot.

Do you take insurance?

Elevate Dynamics Physical Therapy is out-of-network with all insurance companies. Our patients pay us directly for each visit for their 1-on-1 personalized physical therapy sessions. This allows us to focus all of our attention on the patient and perform treatments to focus on patient goals, without being dictated by insurance rules and regulations.

You may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company, depending on your out-of-network coverage. You will be provided a Superbill after every visit, which is what you can submit to your insurance company. We accept cash, check, debit, credit, HSA, and FSA. Payment must still be up front, and if applicable, your insurance company will reimburse you.

As an out-of-network/cash-based practice, we are able to decide what's best for the patients. We can provide the highest quality care for our patients while keeping them 1-on-1 with their doctors of physical therapy for the entire hour, every visit. This increase in quality results means that our patients get better faster than traditional insurance-based physical therapy.

We typically see our patients only one time per week, saving you valuable time, meaning you aren’t leaving work early, commuting to and from the clinic, and spending an hour here 3 times per week.

Do I need a referral?

No. In New York, there is a direct access law that allows patients to be seen and treated for 30 days or 10 visits, which ever happens first.

After the 30 days or 10 visits, we will discuss a plan moving forward and if you will need a prescription from a doctor.

What should I bring and wear?

Gym clothes or loose-fitting clothing! A water bottle.

Most sessions, you will be active and moving! Don't be surprised if you break a sweat.

How long are the sessions?

Each session will be about one hour long.

Still Have Questions?
