Elev8 Physical Therapy & Performance

About Elev8 Physical Therapy & Performance

Elev8 Physical Therapy & Performance is a Metro Detroit physical therapy and performance practice serving Madison Heights, Troy, Birmingham, and nearby communities. The practice is led by Dr. Qasim Khan, DPT, a physical therapist and movement expert whose work focuses on active adults, athletes, and weightlifters dealing with pain, injury, mobility limits, or performance goals. Elev8 emphasizes one-on-one care rather than a high-volume clinic model, with sessions designed around the patient’s specific symptoms, movement patterns, and goals.

The clinic’s approach begins with a detailed history and movement-based assessment. Elev8 evaluates factors such as the infrasternal angle, major joint range of motion, strength, mobility, and compensations to identify possible contributors to pain or limitation. Treatment may include specific exercises, testing and retesting, individualized digital home exercise programming, manual therapy, joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, PNF, rhythmic stabilization, dry needling with or without electric stimulation, cupping, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. The website lists care for post-surgical and sports injury rehabilitation, neck pain and headaches, shoulder injuries, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, hip pain or impingement, knee pain and injuries, foot and ankle pain, plantar fasciitis, lower back pain, sprains, strains, tears, weightlifting injuries, and pain related to activities such as CrossFit, running, rock climbing, sports, and combat sports. Elev8 also describes itself as a fee-for-service practice that is not participating with insurance plans, allowing Dr. Khan to spend the full visit working directly with each patient.
