Element Performance & Physical Therapy

I visited Element Therapy in Northfield to determine the cause of my wrist pain. Dr. Muhibb Sadiq spent a significant amount of time examining my wrist and was very thorough. He recommended an X-ray to determine whether I am a candidate for physical therapy or if there might be another issue. I am very grateful for his careful evaluation and recommendation. I would absolutely recommend this place, as well as Dr. Muhibb, who is both caring and knowledgeable. It’s a clean, well-equipped facility with a friendly and attentive staff.

Element Physical Therapy was incredible in helping me recover after my shoulder surgery. The owner is wonderful—extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in your progress. I felt supported every step of the way and saw real results. Highly recommend!

I came to Element with recurring lower back pain that was limiting both my lifting and everyday movements. After moving and going through a period of being less active, the pain returned and I knew I needed a new approach. And I specifically wanted therapists who understand active people and the demands of running, lifting, climbing, and training consistently. After about three months, I’m back to lifting and the random flare-ups have resolved. What was especially helpful was how clearly they explained what’s likely causing my back issues, which had felt elusive and hard to pinpoint in the past. I’d recommend Element to active people who have tried PT before but felt like they weren’t pushed enough.

I came to Element Physical Therapy for chronic shoulder pain that I had been dealing with for over 7 years. After going from one therapist to another without lasting results, I’m so glad I finally made the right choice to be treated by Dr. Danny. Before starting treatment, I couldn’t do exercises like shoulder press, lateral raises, or even complete a set of 10 push-ups without pain. It was uncomfortable just wearing a heavy jacket. Now, I can perform chest flys, shoulder presses, lateral raises, and even up to 45 push-ups — completely pain free! Though I am on week 5! What makes Element different from other physical therapy clinics is that they focus on finding and fixing the root cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. The care feels intentional and personalized.

Today I had my evaluation with Dr. Muhibb Sadiq for my shoulder. I can't tell you how impressed I was with the evaluation. Thorough is an understatement. He first had asked all kinds of questions to get a background on what happened and how it has impacted my day to day living. He did a full assessment on my Range of Motion and asked specific questions regarding pain level , location of pain , and the type of pain I was experiencing through every test. He explained thoroughly what was the issues were and some he even explained was problems stemming from my neck with my shoulder injury. He explained what his course of treatment would be and the timeline he felt would be realistic for my goals. Dr. Sadiq is not your average PT. I went to a physical therapist for this problem and found no rel
