What Our Clients Say
Expert Led Physical Therapy & Recovery in Royal Oak, Michigan
P.K
I highly recommend Dr. Khan! I had completed a round of PT through a different company and was facing the possibility of Achilles surgery. My podiatrist recommend one more round of PT and I happened to find Dr Khan by pure chance. And that chance literally was life changing. For the first time in months, I can walk without pain and run in the yard with my kids. I’m no longer looking at surgery and have seen tremendous progress, all thanks to his diligence and true care. Words can never express my depth of gratitude.

I came to Qasim for help with IT band pain while cycling that I had been ignoring for way too long. He was immediately friendly and open, and clearly cares about his patient’s success. His 1:1 approach means he’s more aware of the details of his patient’s condition and it’s common to see him closely watching movements and writing everything down. He always has a step by step plan and provides detailed instructions for homework exercises (videos too). In my case he even researched and provided instructions for bike fit changes based on my specific pain. While we didn’t 100% fix my problem yet (it’s only been a few weeks), my mobility is definitely improved and I’m sure if I stick to the plan things will clear up eventually.
M.R
Highly recommend Dr. Khan for physical therapy! I’m writing on behalf of my husband who is a skeptic when it comes to all physical therapists from having bad experiences in the past. One session with Dr. Khan completely changed his perspective. If your husband complains of muscle pain everyday, don’t wait- just book a session now and your life will instantly get better.
H.A
I can finally run again with minimal to no knee pain and keep improving thanks to Qasim’s help! He took his time to get to know everything about my situation and injury, answered all my questions and designed a workout/running/recovery plan that best fits my time and lifestyle. He is very thorough with every session as well as regular check ins on progress. I am so happy that I decided to do physical therapy with him.
J.K
I couldn’t be happier to have found Elev8 PT. Working with Qasim has been a truly comprehensive and healing experience. His holistic, evidence-based approach—paired with his kind and gentle nature—is making all the difference in my recovery. As a physician, my original plan was to simply get a professional opinion and handle the recovery on my own. While I am diligent about doing the homework, what I’ve come to value most is returning for each session. I always leave feeling hopeful, motivated, and genuinely supported.
J.D
Dr. Qasim Khan is hands down the best physical therapist in Metro Detroit! After struggling with knee pain for months, I was finally diagnosed with an ACL lesion. The thought of surgery terrified me—until I was referred to Dr. Khan. From day one, he treated me with kindness, expertise, and genuine care. He patiently answered all my questions (and there were many!) and made me feel hopeful again—even when I thought I’d be limping forever. Thanks to his personalized treatment plan and constant encouragement, I can now walk, trot, and move with confidence. My knee is stronger than it’s ever been, and I owe that to Dr. Khan. His knowledge, compassion, and commitment to recovery are unmatched. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly cares and gets results, Dr. Khan is the one. Thank you for helping me heal!!

Q truly cares. That’s about the best thing you can ask for when looking for a PT. The level of attention to detail and bespoke work to ensure you get exactly what your looking for is something I have not experienced elsewhere. Sessions typically start with a conversation about the previous weeks, how different exercises are feeling, any questions, and will even dip into how you are on a personal level. You’ll be given “homework” exercises to do on a regular basis, a constant communication line to him if you have any questions outside of the session, and videos on how to perform all these exercises. I can tell Q puts the passion he has for PT into his work. It’s been a great experience working with him for the past few months. I would definitely suggest Elev8 to anyone looking for PT.
P.N
Dr. Qasim Khan was recommended to me by my chiropractor when I was considering surgery for a complete tear in my rotator cuff. Thanks to Dr. Khan I have improved enough where I am no longer considering surgery. The entire experience was very positive from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.
A.E
I have never done PT before, but after reading Q’s reviews I was convinced it would be a quality experience. It definitely lived up to my expectations, if not more! Qasim takes special care and attention to detail, making everything easy to repeat at home through summarized tutorials and videos. I feel a lot better and I believe I will continue to do so in the future. The establishment is also very clean and a nice environment. Thanks again!
K.C
After 6 months of lower back pain that made getting off the couch uncomfortable, I tried conventional stretches without success. Dr. Khan’s personalized evaluation and unique breathing and stretching exercises made a real difference. After just one session, I stood up pain-free for the first time in weeks. I’m extremely pleased with the immediate results and highly recommend Dr. Khan—he truly deserves 5 stars.
