When Dr. Gina Croft, PT, DPT opened Next Level PT in Avon, she envisioned a physical therapy practice that would do more than simply treat symptoms. She wanted to create a space where patients could experience truly personalized, holistic care that addresses the root causes of their pain and helps them return to the activities they love.

Dr. Croft’s journey to becoming a physical therapist and business owner began in Parma, where she grew up before marrying her husband, Eric. The couple spent their early married years in West Park before discovering Avon—a community they’ve proudly called home for the past 16 years. “We truly love being part of this community,” Dr. Croft shares. Their family includes their son Henry, along with their energetic Bernedoodle, Jagger, and their sweet cat, Snickers, who keep life fun and full of personality.

Today, Dr. Croft leads Next Level PT from its location at 34970 Detroit Road, Suite 211, where she and her team have built a reputation for exceptional patient care. The practice has become a trusted resource for Avon residents seeking relief from pain and a path toward lasting wellness.

At Next Level PT, we aim to elevate our patients' physical therapy experience to the next level. We do this through an approach that balances proven treatments with evidence-based research to provide a holistic, hands-on, patient-centered experience personalized to each individual’s unique needs,” Dr. Croft explains.

The Next Level PT process follows three key phases designed to deliver lasting results. First, the team focuses on relieving pain quickly so the body can begin to heal naturally. This immediate relief helps patients feel hopeful and engaged in their recovery from the start. Second, they take time to uncover the root of the problem, allowing them to address it effectively and create lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes. Finally, they work with patients to resolve the issue through long-term solutions, serving as guides throughout the journey to help each person reach their full potential.

The practice operates by appointment only, Monday through Friday, ensuring that each patient receives dedicated attention during their visits. This appointment-based model allows the team to provide the thorough, unhurried care that has become their hallmark.

Dr. Croft has assembled a skilled team to support the practice’s mission. Chrissy Frey, who holds a master’s degree in physical therapy, specializes in pelvic health and orthopedic care, expanding the practice’s ability to serve diverse patient needs. Karissa Kraszewski serves as the administrative assistant, helping ensure smooth operations and consistent, high-quality care.

The impact of Next Level PT’s approach is evident in patient testimonials. One patient, Debbie, was referred to Dr. Croft by a friend and found the experience transformative. “She listened to everything I said and watched all my movements to give her more info about how to treat me. The work she did with me has made such a huge difference,” Debbie shared, noting the value of Dr. Croft’s care as she recovered from major surgery.

This attention to detail and commitment to understanding each patient’s unique situation exemplify the Next Level PT philosophy. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all treatments, the team takes time to observe, listen, and develop customized treatment plans that address individual circumstances and goals.

For Avon residents seeking physical therapy that goes beyond the conventional approach, Next Level PT offers a refreshing option. The practice’s dedication to evidence-based treatments combined with holistic care principles creates an environment where healing can truly take root.
