About us

why ELEV8 PTP began – Expert Led Physical Therapy & Recovery in Southeast Michigan

I founded Elev8 Physical Therapy & Performance because I saw a major issue too many physical therapy clinics prioritize volume over real results. In traditional clinics, physical therapists are often juggling multiple patients at once, relying on techs that lack licensed-physical therapy expertise overseeing exercises. While well-intentioned, this system leads to generic treatment plans, a frustrating experience, and limited progress. I knew there had to be a better way.

At Elev8, we have one simple goal to provide expert-led 1-on-1 physical therapy and performance in Metro Detroit that delivers real, long-term results. In today’s profit-centered healthcare system, too many people suffer from low-quality, ineffective care. Elev8 PTP guarantees a 100% patient-centered experience where you will spend the whole time 1-on-1 with Dr. Qasim, receiving hands-on quality curated recovery treatments tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Do you take my insurance

Elev8 is not a participating provider with any insurance plans at this time. This allows our Doctor of Physical Therapy to provide a very unique, high-level service and to spend an unprecedented amount of 1-on-1 time with you at each and every visit. Many insurance policies also have out-of-network benefits, which we can check for you and help with billing! We prefer to work for you and to help you get back to the active life you love in the best way possible, instead of working for your insurance company.

Testimonials

He conducted an interesting evaluation and then had me do what seemed like unusual breathing and stretching exercises. At the end of the first hour, he redid the evaluation and there was some improvement in my mobility. But I wouldn't be aware of the real progress until about an hour later. When I got home, I sat on the couch to finish a movie. When it was over, I stood up. It took me a few seconds to realize my back was not sore and I had not had to resort to acrobatic moves to get up. I stood up for the first time in weeks or maybe months with no discomfort at all. "Amazing" I thought to myself. After my first visit too.

Normally not someone who leaves reviews but felt the need for Dr. Khan. He came recommended from a friend and never have had such a positive experience with a PT (or, honestly, a medical professional in general).Dr. Khan is wonderful and personable. He immediately was able to zero in on the cause of my chronic neck and back pain after a brief physical assessment and conversation.He walked me through some breathing and stretching exercises that pretty immediately began to loosen up my upper back. He was thorough and insightful. Really a nice session.I think most people who have run the gamut with traditional PT models often walk away feeling slightly better but without confidence that you’ll have any lasting benefit. Dr. Khan really did not leave me with that feeling.He’s a little expensive but the benefits completely outweigh the price difference. Can’t recommend him enough.

I’ve had PT at multiple places before with great experiences, but I’m really thankful to have found Elev8. I’ve never had the kind of 1 on 1 attention to my injury, specialized to my goals like I have here. Qasim truly cares about his patients. You’ll never feel rushed or judged and you’ll definitely leave feeling ready to tackle life again.

I’ve been to PT at a few places and this is by far the best experience. Qasim has asked great questions, listened to my concerns and developed a specific plan to help with my recovery. There was always a new regimen each session which led to significant improvements. If you are serious about getting better and willing to do the homework after your sessions, Elev8 is the place for you!

I’d been dealing with frustrating pain on the outside of my knee for years now, making boxing and any side movements a real challenge. Nothing I tried before seemed to work. I saw Dr. Qasim for an initial evaluation. He figured that my knee problem was actually related to my foot, which was a total surprise. After that one visit, Dr. Qasim set me up with some foot exercises and a specific treatment strategy that quickly eased my pain and boosted my mobility. His approach to look beyond the obvious symptoms was really effective.I definitely recommend Elev8 PTP if you’re stuck with pain. His quick and smart diagnosis in just one appointment might be exactly what you need!

Dr. Khan worked with me on some shoulder pain and tension that was affecting my neck. After just one visit I could turn my neck more than I'd been able to in weeks. He listens and is curious, and has a very skilled and unique approach to treatment.
