What Next Level Sports Performance Llc does

Next Level Sports Performance LLC is a privately-held, single-facility physical therapy and sports performance clinic founded in 2004 by Jim Keller in Golden, Colorado. The company delivers individualized orthopedic physical therapy, evidence-based manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and sports performance coaching from a single location at 4670 Table Mountain Drive, serving athletes, active individuals, and post-surgical or chronic-pain patients across the Colorado Front Range. The clinic operates a team-treatment model centered on 60-minute sessions and combines physical therapy, sports performance training, and a hybrid "sports therapy" service priced at $95 (15 minutes with a therapist plus 45 minutes with a performance coach).

The service portfolio spans core offerings (physical therapy, sports performance training, sports therapy) and a layered set of add-on modalities including personalized Blood Flow Restriction Training, Shockwave Therapy, Functional Dry Needling, 3D custom orthotics (static and dynamic 3D scanning with 3D-printed output at $376.25 per pair), Concussion Management, Functional Return-to-Sport Testing, Bike Fitting, and Ski Testing. The technology stack is operational rather than algorithmic: 3D orthotic scanning/printing hardware, therapeutic and rehabilitation equipment, and digital athlete-tracking platforms TeamBuildr and BridgeAthletic for performance programming. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software IP, or patents are disclosed.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with cash-pay and insurance billing. Direct access pricing is $130 per physical therapy session (inclusive of dry needling, BFR, and shockwave) and $70 per single sports performance session, with packages from $280 (four private sessions) to $700 (ten sessions plus two buddy passes). The company accepts in-network and out-of-network insurance but explicitly excludes Medicare, Medicaid, and secondary or auto insurance. Customer acquisition is driven by physician referrals, Colorado's direct-access self-referral environment, word-of-mouth within the local athletic community, Google Reviews, and a website plus social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram). Ownership is concentrated in two co-owners, Jim Keller (Founder, former NFL Denver Broncos assistant athletic trainer) and Joe Bryant (DPT, OCS), with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
