Chris and Phil worked with me by using different techniques and weights. I am pain free and have full use of my right arm again. I am grateful for the dedication and expertise that I was shown.""

"I have used Next Step Physical therapy 3 times. Every time,I couldn't believe how much stronger I became. Chris really takes the time with you. Not only do you get stronger, you gain confidence that you can do things you did before. I recommend Next Step tp my friends. Thank you Chris and company!"

"My therapies with Chris have shown consistent progress. His instructions have helped me to resolve my issues. He is informative and encouraging. My family and I will visit Chris in the future if we need further help."

"I went to Next Step PT for a terrible pain down my neck and through my shoulder blade. Dr. Chris put me on a 4 week, 10 session course of therapy. I am pain free. Dr. Chris' personal attention is unique and hands on - my past experience with PT treatment has been that the doctor sees you at first and then you are mostly working with interns. If I need relief from physical pain in the future, I would go nowhere else. "

"I'm Roxane from Plainview and was in a lot of pain in my hip/back. Came to Next Step Physical Therapy and had a great experience. Dr. Chris was very patient and explained everything in detail. It was a great experience and I feel confident going out on my own. I would highly recommend Next Step to anyone who needs it. The staff was very friendly & accommodating too."

"Rob from Hicksville. I tore my bicep and had a lot of pain bending my arm. My wife had been to Next Step and was very happy. After therapy I see a huge difference. I'm pain free and I'm using my arm again with good mobility and strength. The personnel there is great. They worked my program up gradually over time and gave me the confidence to get back to normal. And his shirt and ties always matched :)"

"I reinjured my back, herniated disc and Dr. Chris once again got my back up and running so I can return to normal function. Dr. Chris only has 1 or 2 patients max at a time so the service is very personable and hands on. Other PT locations I have been to, just give you the exercises and leave you be to do them. Dr. Chris ensures you are doing the exercises correctly, making modifications and corrections to maximize its effectiveness. I recommend Dr. Chris to everyone."

"CarolR, Westbury, NY. Excellent,...saved me from orthopedic surgery. When I began physical therapy with Chris, I had injuries to disks in neck and a compressed nerve in my left elbow, combined with left carpal tunnel. I was unable to do the simplest daily functions with my left hand, like turning the key to open my house door. I had constant numbness and tingling in my left arm and hand, and neck pain. When I began P.T. I was barely able to hold a 1 pound weight in my left hand for 10 seconds, 3 times. now do that exercise with a 9 pound weight, 50 times. This has made a huge difference in my daily life and I would highly recommend Chris Ostling, Next Step PT to anyone who wants to improve their physical health. The one-on-one attention from the same highly experienced professional makes the difference!"

"When I started my left knee was hurting because of calcium deposits. It especially hurt at night when I slept on my side and if I moved it in a certain way. Since I started doing the exercises that would strengthen the leg and do mobility exercises that kept my knee in the correct position the pain is almost completely gone. I can now walk my dog and go for walks without the pain. This is giving me the mobility I had lost."

"I had the knee pain for a couple of years and that started bothering my routine exercises such as swimming as well as my regular daily life. Chris was able to find the root cause of my pain and I followed the programs what he created. After 4 weeks, my knees are not bothering and I can resume my exercises. I would highly recommended him."

"Mary from Hicksville: Came to therapy with knee pain that hurt doing everyday things such as cleaning, walking up stairs, driving in the car.

The office is well-organized, staff are helpful and friendly, and the doctor provides personalized care. Would recommend this practice to anyone in need of physical therapy."

"I had a strong pain in my lower back that prevented me from walking or standing for longer than 10 minutes. I knew Next Step Physical Therapy would help me get rid of the problem because 10 years ago they helped me fix my moving knee caps. The front desk staff is very nice, but it's Chris's professional expertise that brings me back on my feet every time I need help. Both my knee cap problem and my back pain are gone for good. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who needs physical therapy. He's amazing, and he'll fix you better and faster than anyone else."

I am no longer in pain and am able to return to doing even the simplest of tasks thanks to Dr. Chris. The staff is very courteous and accommodating. I have and will continue to recommend Next Step Physical Therapy."

I have to say, i'm extremely satisfied with the treatment that I received here by Christopher Ostling as my Physical Therapist. He's an extremely funny guy who's great to engage conversation with. He makes your time here at physical therapy as painless (most likely not if he makes you work hard) as possible and gives you extremely good advice for the future after a thorough evaluation. I went from having back pain that affected my ability to work to being completely better, being able to do all of the things that I used to.

"I experienced chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. After the neurologist referred me to physical therapy, I was hesitant, thinking it would be a waste of time. It was the absolute opposite. Chris was extremely professional, always providing me with the time I needed to become successful. I am extremely grateful for the support and dedication, as I am completing four weeks of physical therapy successfully... in no pain! Thank you to Chris and the staff at Next Step PT."

During my first visit Dr. Ostling examined me and stated that he had seen much worse and felt he could help me within 12 visits. I never had PT before and did not have much confidence in the science. With Dr Ostling's careful guidance I felt much better after his predicted 12 visits and was able to continue the exercises he recommended on my own! In addition, his staff was very courteous and helpful in sorting through my medical insurance requirements!"

I have been a patient of Next Step multiple times, and every time I have received the utmost care from the helpful staff.

I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants the premium in physical therapy."

"I sprained my ankle and I needed PT. Chris and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The office isn't full of people like at the big PT offices.

They ran on time and could usually accommodate any changes I needed to make to my appointments. I highly recommend Chris to everyone."

They really spent a lot of time with me to give me the individual attention I needed. Highly recommend!!"

I had a progressive decrease in the pain and increased motion and strength in my arm. After 10 visits with out this use of medication I was able to regain full function of my shoulder.

I would recommend this place to any athlete that needs to get better faster."

"I came into the office with a bit of skepticism, having gone through knee surgery on the other knee I thought "well, let's go through the process" thinking my knee's not going to feel much better. I'm a converted skeptic. I highly recommend PT for any joint problems you may have. You just have to be patient and put in the work. Chris doesn't just give you the exercises and walk away. He monitors and corrects your technique as well. If you're in pain...go. You won't be disappointed with Next Step physical therapy."

Dad was taught ways to move, get up from a chair, etc, to fit dads needs, not just a same old kinda basic physical therapy place. One on One therapy, is Next Step Physical Therapy. Dad never worried about getting the therapists attention. Chris was always there by his patients side. Concerned and caring is the ultimate goal here."

The goal is to get me back to do the things I haven't done in a while. I am looking forward to participating in all the sports activities again.

Highly recommend."

Zenia from Floral Park."

"Grace from Westbury. I came to Next Step for a meniscus tear and I thought I needed surgery. I started therapy slowly so I wasn't afraid and as I got better I was able to do more.

Avoided surgery on both counts. Highly recommend Next Step, especially for people who have never had therapy. You should try them first."

After therapy, I am better able to walk around without the walker. I use the cane most of the time and even without it around the house. Getting in and out of the chair is so much easier. I no longer drop into the chair. The team members are great, friendly, and are good listeners."

This evaluation was used to create a personal plan that would generate the best results.
