As I reach the end of my current physical therapy journey, I would like to recommend Pam Bigelow at Breakthru PT at Medford Fitness! Pam worked with me pre and post op for my right hip replacement surgery. She included hands on acupressure, aquatic therapy and physical therapy exercises that were customized to meet my needs. Pam is well-trained, professional, friendly and extremely caring. I had an excellent experience, and was motivated by Pam to make a full recovery from my joint replacement surgery.Ilene Morris

Customer service oriented. Kind, friendly, polite, and patient. Staff works together well and are attentive, willing to answer questions, provide guidance, support and instructions. I especially appreciate that staff ask for feedback during sessions to ensure client is comfortable. They monitor your pain level by asking directly so not to cause discomfort, harm or injury. They never leave client unattended and are readily available as they monitor all activity for safety and compliance via consistent gentle reminders. Staff communicate verbally and non-verbally, demonstrating directives, hands on, providing needed aid and assistance but also communicate verbally in a calm and reassuring manner. Staff are positive, upbeat and encouraging. They do not hesitate to provide verbal positive reinforcement throughout and at close of session. I feel like I am being rescued! Finally getting the help I need. They also explain the physiology and mechanics of exercises in layman terms so client is well informed and can relate.

I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received for my trimalleolar ankle fracture from Pam Bigelow. Thanks to her very skilled manual work on my ankle, I have achieved full range of motion and have returned to running. She is an extremely dedicated professional who prioritizes assisting her patients to return to maximum functioning. Thanks Pam!

I have been with BreakThru Physical Therapy for about a year working on three issues: my neck, my shoulder and my hips. All are now resolved. No Pain! Lots of gain! Stephanie at Taunton Forge started my recovery until I switched to MedfordFitness in order to use the Endless Pool. Pamela and Ben were very helpful, kind, thoughtful and they were diligent in keeping me working hard. I will recommend BreakThru PT to everyone I can.Thank you to everyone that I encountered.Susan Harker.

Physical therapy at Breakthru has been a positive experience for me. The whole team is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. They are clearly invested in each patient’s physical progress while also facilitating a pleasant social atmosphere. Pam has been my PT and has helped me so much. She is great to work with and has a wealth of experience. And she makes PT seem fun with her outgoing personality. Highly recommend Pam and Zach and the entire Breakthru team to anyone seeking PT. 🙂

Dr. Rebecca Romano is an outstanding Physical Therapist. She is a caring and compassionate doctor. I have been a patient of hers for over a year now for three different issues. Her approach to each issue is very detailed. Dr. Romano will take the test results, the prescribing doctor's notes and your history to come up with a plan to get you back to a healthier you. One of my issues was from a traumatic event which required surgery. At the very start of therapy for this event she said there would be exercises that would be painful and that she might not be my favorite person at that particular moment. She was correct, but as I got through those tough exercises my progress to recovery is coming along extremely well. Both my surgeon and my medical team are very pleased with my progress due to Dr. Romano's knowledge of my injury and how to help to heal it.Dr. Rebecca Romano is a "TOP DOCTOR" and you would be in caring hands as your Therapist.Thank You Dr. Rebecca,Robert W.

I am someone that is uncomfortable going to work out. All of the employees made me feel so comfortable and that alone made me feel better. I actually enjoyed the experience and the exercises came easier to me because of them!

I’m one week post op from a THR and thanks to Pam’s help before, surgery, and now afterwards, I am moving better than expected with very little pain. My friends can’t believe how well I’m doing, and Pam deserves a lot of the credit. I only wish I could give her more stars.

What could have been a grueling and uncomfortable 6-week event became for me an enjoyable and challenging trek back to the full use of my knee. John was completely competent and trustworthy, giving me confidence to meet my goals, and Ben was outgoing and informative, answering all my questions and giving me reassurance. I would certainly use Breakthrough again, and I would encourage others to do the sam
