BreakThrough Physical Therapy

I cannot recommend this office and Lee specifically enough! Scheduling an appointment and checking in is always super easy. I find the location convenient. What I appreciate most is that Lee helps me get back to the activities that are important to me and create rehab exercises that are worth my time outside of my appointments. I have been able to run a marathon and enjoy hiking despite 2 separate injuries. All the therapists are compassionate and attentive. Thank you!!

I had the unfortunate experience of spraining my ankle twice in one month while dancing. Thankfully, I found Break Through Physical Therapy and the incredible Anastasia Engelsman. Anastasia is not only the kindest person I’ve ever met but also achieves the most remarkable results. With her extensive experience in physical therapy and her background as a dancer for over 12 years, she has an in-depth understanding of the dance world and the specific needs of dancers. Thanks to Anastasia, my ankles are now stronger than ever. I believe this has been the best investment of my time and money. I highly recommend Anastasia Engelsman, especially to fellow dancers, for her exceptional knowledge, empathy, and ability to help her patients achieve their goals.

Awesome place. In my 30’s and dislocated my knee recently - Lee had me back to whitewater canoeing, lifting weights, running and (most importantly) keeping up with my kids in less than 8 weeks, even helping me keep a commitment that I was worried I’d need to cancel that involved hiking and teaching a bunch of teenagers how to kayak for a week. Super professional and also a fun office. I’ve been coming to these folks for over 5 years with various injuries, and they deserve their high reputation. No question I’ll come back the next time I need PT.

I had a great experience here. I worked with Lee on an issue with my hand (trigger finger in my thumb). I'd been to UNC ortho, who gave me a cortisone shot, and it didn't work long term. My massage therapist recommended BreakThrough. What I like most is how they combine physical manipulation (where Lee physically worked on my hand), dry needling, other techniques, and then at-home exercises. I went about 6-8 times across several months, and my trigger finger was fixed. Lee was able to pinpoint the cause of the issue and how to fix it. The environment is relaxed -- not your typical doctor's office, and everyone is so friendly. Aaron at the front desk is fabulous -- booking appointments, paying, etc., was always super easy.

I live about 5 mins from this location so it would have been very convenient to go here for PT. My knee (patella) was fractured into 4 pieces through no fault of my own. From injury to surgery it was an incredibly traumatic experience. The next part is recovery. I reached out to ask them what their onboarding process looks like. I wanted to see the facility and meet whom I might be working with for the next 20 weeks. I wanted to be assured I would be in good hands even if that assurance came from a quick meet and greet. I inquired with the woman who answers the phone and she made it sound like I was asking for something out of the ordinary. She then took my name and number and said someone would call me back later that day or the next morning and we could discuss over the phone. It's two week later now and I've still never heard back. In parallel I had reached out to Cora on Knox Way and they promptly invited me in for a meet and greet. I couldn't be happier with Cora. What brings people to PT varies. Some people have been through hell. I wish I could speak for their actual services but their lack of care right out of the gate was enough for me to go elsewhere. Edit After Owner Response *** I am not a client of theirs and never was, so there are no HIPAA privacy rules they must adhere to in regards to addressing my comments directly. What would have been a more appropriate response would have been to simply acknowledge the mistake and assert that corrections have been made for future folks.

The Breakthrough team has been beyond helpful in my injury recovery, and I 100% recommend them for anyone who needs a PT, especially runners. Their PTs spend 45 minutes one-on-one (sometimes more) with only you and treat with a combination of graston/cupping/needling and rehabilitative exercises that are functional and efficient. I worked with Smurti Shah for over four months in a hip-related running injury, and her specialization in runners and hips, expertise in the human body, attention to detail, and active listening were incredibly helpful in my recovery.

I have been seeing Smruti for years. My daughter has seen Lee. They have such great people and I think they work hard to make sure they have good people.

I had a great experience here. Lee is amazing-- he helped me figure out my weak points and gave me all of the tools to address the problems I had. I highly recommend BreakThrough!
