My son has been coming to break thru on and off for over a year. I have always given it 5 stars but today is something more extraordinary. As I sit here watching my son receive his therapy with Matt C (who is absolutely amazing and patient with him), his everyday therapist, Shannon (also great with him & understands his limitations but pushes him where she can and with great positive feedback so he feels accomplished), is still helping out with him. They all work very well together and do what is best for each patient. What really stood out to me today was Lauren and Sofie. Lauren has a very sweet patient with disabilities (as does my son). I have never seen such compassion and sweetness before. These 2 therapists have gone above and beyond for this patient and made her feel so special. I am beyond impressed and can’t express the amount of support and heart I see in them. The last thing I have to say is that the aid that works with my son, (Caleb) is so sweet and upbeat, very respectful!!

Everyone was very helpful in getting started on a new recovery program.

Joining Breakthru was the best decision I made in 2021. I started with PT. Upon recovery of that issue I began training with Lisa, and then Steve when Lisa was no longer there. I have made excellent progress towards strength training goals with Steve. Three days ago I started PT with Matt because of a knee injury. With excellent advice, therapy and training from the two of them I am feeling so much better and hopeful that someday I will be an awesome 80 year old!

I have vertigo and I had a very dizzy days and saw Olivia at Breakthru physical therapy and I walked out of there feeling wonderful. My experience with both the front desk and my therapist was very successful.

Matt was very pleasant and thorough . He asked a lot of questions before beginning therapy. He had read the papers I had filled out and was prepared.First, he explained the exercises I’d be doing and explained how they would help. Then he demonstrated each one and monitored them to make sure I was doing them correctly.When I was done, he gave me a printed copy of the exercises so that I could do them at home. In addition, he sent a video of the exercises as a visual via my email.I am very pleased with my session and look forward to the next appt as I work to strengthen my hip muscles.

Came across Breakthrough while looking for a physical therapy provider. Everything was easy from first contact: scheduling, handling the insurance company, support and expertise from the physical therapy staff and location management, guidance on home exercises, etc. Shannon is a lifesaver!After a few months I was able to gain enough strength, confidence, and stability to return to the gym and continue along my journey.Thank- you

Shannon Urban is a legend at Breakthru. She deserves a Nobel prize for customer satisfaction. I came to Shannon with terrible bilateral shoulder pain that affected my daily activities and my sleep at night. She is so knowledgeable and truly cares about patient satisfaction. Working with Shannon was one of the best PT experiences of my life and I can honestly say she has cured me of my pain without medicines. An absolutely first rate therapist in a first rate practice. I am so lucky I found her.

I am thrilled with the results of my physical therapy! My therapist Pam O'Neill treated me for a broken shoulder with extremely limited arm mobility and helped me obtain healing and full range of motion in my arm. She knew how to challenge me and treat my injury to get me to full recovery. Each and every visit she produced new advances. I never felt defeated with Pam as my therapist. My orthopedic doctor is also very impressed with my achievement and what I have been able to accomplish in a few months with Pam as my therapist. I highly recommend Pam at Breakthru in Medford! Thank you.

My therapist was Lauren, very professional and a pleasure to work with. I have some limitations to traditional therapy and Lauren was able to develop a routine specific for my needs. I would highly recommend.

I have been going there for 4 weeks and have had Rebecca and Shannon for physical therapy. They have been helping me regain my balance. I can now go up and down a curb unassisted. I can also climb my stairs to the 2nd floor without holding on to the rail. With the expertise and dedication of Rebecca and Shannon, I able to live safety in my home. I heartedly recommend Breakthrough for therapy.

I am really happy with this facility. I have been a very satisfied PT client; at present I am a fitness client. My trainer, Natalie Yakamov, is wonderful! Enthusiastic, attentive, clearly knowledgeable! I confidently trust her expertise and really enjoy and profit from training sessions.

Heather Luna

I have had the absolute pleasure of doing physical therapy with Dr. Shannon to help rehabilitate my foot and ankle from a serious injury. Not only is she knowledgeable and empathetic, she brings positivity and fun to each session. No one wants to be in physical therapy but Shannon makes it enjoyable and fun. They say laughter is the best medicine and working closely with Shannon definitely proves this is true. I have gone from entering the Medford facility on a knee scooter unable to walk and unable to put a shoe on, to walking in by myself with no support in shoes. We still have work to do but I am so proud of how far we’ve come and what the journey ahead looks like. Thank you Shannon!

Thanks to Lauren I’m back doing all my activities I love, and doing them without pain! She created a two step program for me that allowed my shoulder injury to heal and also get stronger. She was patient and kind and took all of my concerns into consideration. The whole crew there is so positive and welcoming. I always looked forward to going.

Zach at BreakThru is awesome. I've always felt pushed but also given approachable exercises. They are doable at home and have been improving my issues. I can also ask questions so I can make sure I have the right form or to understand why he's chosen that exercise, and I never feel dumb. It is such a a friendly environment here with all the staff, it's like walking into a family event where everyone says hello. Would definitely recommend Zach and BreakThru.

I am an 82 year old woman who has had cervical spinal fusion and double hip replacement. I was worried about losing my independence. I went to Breakthru Physical Therapy in Medford, NJ. The environment in Breakthru is very therapeutic. Due to the physical therapy and individual attention I received from therapists Rebecca, Olivia and John I can now look forward to living as my independent self. I highly recommend Breakthru and the outstanding therapists there. I especially want to thank the therapists who were dedicated to my recovery.

Amanda Fitchett

I came to Breakthru after I threw my back out. Shannon has been phenomenal in getting me back to myself. She diagnosed where the pain was coming from, explained everything in terms of how I could understand. It's been a few weeks and I have been pain free and moving much better. Getting an appointment was easy and they were always able to work with my schedule. In addition, if I didn't do my at home exercises, I was never made to feel like I did something wrong or felt guilty for not doing them. I would highly recommend them for PT needs!

After surviving 24 years of Law Enforcement without a significant injury, I suffered a complete patella tendon tear at work just 6 months away from retirement. I laid in the hospital devastated with the thought of not walking out of the police station in the same manner that I walked in as a rookie. Only after surgery, unable to put any weight on my leg, did I realize what an uphill battle I had ahead of me. I had never needed physical therapy before and did not know what to expect, but I did know that I wanted to recover faster than the surgeon predicted. When I met Rebecca for the first time and told her of my hope, she completely supported me. She would proceed to push me when I needed pushed, motivate me on my bad days and pull me back in when I tried to do too much. As I learned to walk again, she gave me confidence despite my fear of re-agitating the injury. Now, as I am jogging and preparing to be cleared by the surgeon to return to full duty, I am in awe of what she accomplished. Beyond her technical skills as a physical therapist, it was her genuine empathy and compassion that truly set her apart. Rebecca’s kindness, patience, and willingness to listen attentively to my concerns made me feel valued and supported throughout every step of the process. She created a warm and welcoming environment within the clinic and made each session something I looked forward to, rather than something I dreaded. I cannot thank Rebecca enough for taking me from a place of despair and immobility to a place of mental and physical recovery.

Kevin started a course of therapy that very quickly started to improve the problem with my knee. The range of motion gradually increased while my pain decreased. He was very thorough and always answered all my questions. Thank you so much!Georgann

I started Schroth therapy last November after years of being self-conscious about my scoliosis. After my consultation with Kevin I was immediately put at ease by his expertise and easy going personality. You can tell he really loves what he does and he knows his stuff! I took the 35 min drive a couple times a week from Pennsauken to Medford-at times tired from work. He always showed me grace when I was a few minutes late. His ability to connect with his patients is something you don't find in a lot healthcare practitioners, and I sincerely appreciated it. Everyone at the front desk were always pleasant and helpful in making sure I was scheduled. After 5 months I'm so happy with my progress! I stand taller and my posture is so much better. Kevin taught me how to incorporate the Schroth exercises at home. I'm sooo grateful for his guidance through this process and will be returning to maintain my corrections. Thank you Sensei Kevin-you're amazing!

I have been going to Breakthru since the beginning of January. It was easy to get an appointment the front desk staff is always friendly and accommodating to my schedule. My therapist Shannon is excellent. She pushes me to work hard but not to hard where it would hurt my knee. My knee is constantly improving since going to Breakthru and working with Shannon. Shannon is constantly introducing new exercises to strengthen my legs. I highly recommend Breakthru in Medford

Three months ago I had a total knee replacement. A potentially devastating surgery to come back from if you are competing in a sport you love. Three days after my surgery I started my journey back when I walked into Breakthrough Physical Therapy and met my new Therapist, Dr. Shannon Urban, PT, DPT. Shannon pushed me appropriately and designed a program unique to my goals of returning to competing in the sport I love. I am now back enjoying my quality of life that includes competing in my sport, walking my dogs and bike riding. Thanks to Shannon and the rest of the team at Breakthrough Physical Therapy.

I have experienced numerous sports injuries in college, knee surgeries and the nagging aftermath as a result in my 60's. I have been a patient at a host of physical therapy facilities throughout my life- Breakthru Physical Therapy & Fitness located in Medford at the Village at Taunton Forge is the BEST and the benchmark for all others to be compared. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and dedicated to the well being of all their patients. Specifically, Dr. Shannon Urban and her diagnostic skills, application of the proper stretching and exercise routine to combat my specific ailments and in general oversee and construct a top notch recovery experience tailored to my needs. Shannon and the whole staff at Breakthru has changed my life for the better- Thank you!!Scott
