Thank you for your care, guidance and professionalism throughout my ACL rehabilitation. I am back playing soccer at an even higher level than that previous to my injury in July of last year. This is due to the attention I received at BREAKTHRU.

I made a commitment to myself the day of the injury to returning within a year to play again. When I entered the doors of BREAKTHRU in Dec. 05, I brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to get on with my physical therapy. Fortunately for me, I found in you, a knowledgeable and equally positive team to take me step by step back to the soccer field.

My 11 year old son was sent to physical therapy for a back injury he sustained while playing soccer. The Doctor at Cooper Hospital recommended BREAKTHRU Physical Therapy in Medford. Since BREAKTHRU was located in close to where I live, I thought I would give them a try.
Initially we found that my insurance coverage wasnt too good. While they were verifying information, I made a call to Cooper Hospital. The wait was 3 weeks and it was in the morning, meaning Id have to take him out of school. This was clearly not a very convenient option, but if I had to I would. Within an hour BREAKTHRU called me back and discussed a payment option that was great for me. They could see Peter the next day and we were on our way.

When I first met with my physical therapists from BREAKTHRU Physical Therapy, I was in severe back pain. They took the time to sit down with me to discuss my health history and to map out a plan for recovery.
At first I was skeptical, not having been involved in physical therapy before, but even after my first session I began to see improvement. I spent 4 weeks with my therapists and graduated feeling like a new person! My aches and pains have virtually disappeared! My physical therapists taught me different exercises to help my back, how to stretch my tight muscles, and preventative techniques to avoid injuring myself again.
I have never felt this good or been in better shape! I fact, I wanted to I wanted to continue the program set forth by my therapists so I joined their wellness center! Finally, a positive environment where I can better myself with the continued support of a wonderful group of professionals! Thanks BREAKTHRU!

My physical therapy has been the result of foot surgery. Everyone at BREAKTHRU has been very professional throughout my therapy. Ive had physical therapy for my foot and lower back. All of the physical therapists helped me greatly and putting me back on track to feeling better plus being able to take part in keeping myself active.

I came to BREAKTHRU after I had undergone ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair. This being my second knee injury, I had spent a significant amount of time with other physical therapists and athletic trainers. I cannot say enough as to how pleased I was with my experience at BREAKTHRU. Kevin, and all of the staff at Breakthru, seem to have a genuine care for the overall well-being of their patients. By developing a relationship with their patients, they are successful in making physical therapy as enjoyable as physical therapy can be. I left my sessions each time feeling as though I was pushed hard, and though I experienced ups and downs, I was never discouraged. I have made substantial progress in my three months at BREAKTHRU. I am confident that this therapy has helped to get me on my way to stepping on the lacrosse field again at Dartmouth.

During the summer of 2006 I had knee reconstruction done for a torn ACL. Shortly after, I started rehab at BREAKTHRU physical therapy with Lance. I was cleared to go back to regular activities within five months and playing basketball better than ever.

In the summer of 2007 I had a few occurrences of knee strains. I found out I had sprained my MCL and was back at BREAKTHRU working with Jeff. I am now going back to my life of basketball and trust and feel more comfortable with my knee and am ready to start playing at a competitive level once again.

Both of these experiences at the center have gotten me back to the sport I love, basketball. I owe everything to Jeff and Lance, they have helped become stronger than ever and have put so much time into my workouts.

When I started physical therapy on my shoulder with Dr. Knaub, there was a good chance I was still going to need surgery. After just a couple of weeks, I started to show some improvement, so we continued with treatment. Amazingly, my strength and mobility improved tremendously, and I was able to get out of surgery after 12 weeks of physical therapy. I have no doubt that the specific expertise of Dr. Knaub and his associates were instrumental in this success. I am already back on the court shooting hoops and, more importantly, living life without pain.

Coming here after having reconstructive hip surgery, it has given me strength in my leg and the ability to walk without a cane. My therapist, was extremely helpful in my recovery. All of the employees are helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this fitness center.
