Meet Your Director

Tim Salkowski PT, DPT, COMT

MY HOBBIES: Reading, exercising, market analytics, guitar

Dr. Tim’s journey into physical therapy began unexpectedly when his father injured his hand at work. Intrigued by his father’s rehabilitation process, Tim, then a community college student seeking direction, found his calling.

With a rich background in weightlifting and athletics as a soccer and baseball player, physical therapy was a natural fit for him. He started his career as a physical therapist aide at Breakthru Physical Therapy, which fueled his passion for the field. Tim pursued his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Rutgers University, returning to Breakthru post-graduation as a licensed physical therapist. He now serves as the Clinic Director at the Mount Laurel office.

Dr. Tim’s enthusiasm for physical therapy is deeply rooted in his love for physical fitness and exercise. He firmly believes that exercise is often the most effective first line of defense against injury and pain. His clinical focus is on orthopedic and sports physical therapy, with a particular interest in Blood Flow Restriction Therapy. This innovative technique involves low-load resistance exercise combined with a moderate reduction of blood flow to a working muscle, enhancing strength and cardiovascular function.

Dr. Tim’s greatest joy is helping patients return to the activities they love and encouraging them to prioritize their health and fitness for life.

First visit to Breakthru Physical Therapy, and I was very impressed with the warm welcome and the overall professionalism of the team. Looking forward to seeing my progress over the next few weeks!

Over the past 2 years, I had been dealing with a hamstring injury and throughout that time, I had met with multiple trainers and specialists. I was unable to find a solution until I met Tim. I worked with Tim throughout the summer, and he helped me get back to running full-time and did a great job in figuring out ways to increase strength and flexibility in my hamstrings, something that I had lacked ever since I started running 4 years ago. As tough as it was having to take time out of my summer for 2x a day each week after a long day of work, Tim made my experience very enjoyable, as he was always positive and fun to be around. I'll miss working with Tim. I hope other people take advantage of the fact that they can work with someone who does a great job and truly cares about their patients like Tim does.

Matt knew exactly what I needed, exact exercises to help & the whole experience overall was perfect. From meeting the receptionist, to talking with my physical therapist, down to my exit out.. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience seriously. Made me feel like I’d already been going for a month off my first session.

I have gone to Breakthru for years. Most recently my therapist Tim Salkowski was transferred and promoted to the Mt. Laurel office. Once my schedule changed I was able to follow Tim to Mt. Laurel because out of all my therapists I had the best results with Tim. I highly recommend Breakthru, especially Tim. The office is brand new and all of the staff are kind and friendly.

Tim is one of the best Physical Therapist at Breakthru! He's patient, understanding and knows what he's doing. I came in nervous becuase some PT push you well beyond you limits. Tim pushes right to where you didn't know you need to be. The staff here is amazing as well and friendly and best part is we have a special little "guest" every Monday 😀

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tim at Breakthru Physical Therapy in Mt. Laurel for a few months now for my back and shoulder pain. I have scoliosis, and he has helped me regain better movement in my body, making everyday tasks much easier. Thanks to his treatment, the sciatica in my leg no longer affects my daily life, which has been a huge relief. The care and attention he provides are outstanding, and I truly appreciate his expertise and personalized approach. The entire team at Breakthru is professional, welcoming, and committed to patient progress. I highly recommend Dr. Tim and Breakthru PT to anyone looking for quality physical therapy!

I injured my lower leg playing Pickleball and needed physical therapy. Tim did an amazing job with me and I am now able to play again pain free. The strengthening exercises helped me through my injury. Tim also guided me on how much I should play after my pain subsided, which really helped.This business is very professional and exhibits a most friendly and caring atmosphere.I highly recommend this business.

I have been a patient for the past 2 1/2 months. Matt is my therapist and he is absolutely the best. There is no one that could have made my progress any better. Physically and mentally. They are the best, always hands on and very concerned and compassionate. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

Phil Tran

Tim and the Breakthru Physical Therapy team at Mt Laurel, helped me return to sport after my injury. In less than one year following my achilles tendon rupture, I was able to complete a half-Ironman distance triathlon! Tim is an expert in sports rehab and uses the latest rehab protocols to get athletes and clients back to sport and life with minimal discomfort. The use of blood flow restriction therapy was especially helpful in my early rehab and it is not offered everywhere! Big thanks to the entire Breakthru team for their help!

I’m 42 and have had my fair share of injuries, particularly from playing indoor soccer. After injuring my ankle, I found myself at Breakthru Physical Therapy, under the care of Dr. Tim. Having been to physical therapy at other places in the past, I wasn’t expecting much—previous experiences hadn’t been the best. But Dr. Tim completely changed that for me.He made each session interesting and fun, which kept me motivated throughout my recovery. What stood out the most was how he tailored the therapy to my needs, ensuring that I was not only healing but also getting back to playing soccer as quickly and safely as possible. When I experienced a calf injury after returning to the field, Dr. Tim was right there to help me through it.Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I’m back playing soccer and feeling more active than ever. Dr. Tim truly provides a high level of service, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care and attention he gave me. If you’re looking for top-notch physical therapy, Dr. Tim at Breakthru is the one to see! Thanks Dr. Tim!

I torn my bicep tendon & waited 3 months before the repair. The bicep had significant muscle atrophy. Breakthru is an outstanding PT facility, Tim S. and his team used advanced & extensive technologies to shorten recovery from the torn bicep & frightening muscle atrophy. They put together a comprehensive rehab program involving bands, stretch, weights, recum bikes, soft tissue & scar message and blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy. In 5 weeks I progressed from being extremely weak with a bicep. My bicep was 1.5 inches smaller since the injury with limited range of motion. Five weeks later my arm has full function and I can easily curling 25lb dumbells. BFR under the direction of a PT really allowed muscle growth with much lighter weight. I joined a large support group with similar injuries and it appears no one has recovered as quickly as me. Tim's program & the Breakthru facility with certified BFR & deep scar tissue therapies accelerated my recovery by 6 months.

I went to Breakthru Therapy - Mt. Laurel for several months. I worked with Dr. Matt and he was the best! He was so professional, understanding & easy to talk to. I saw great progress while my time at Breakthru. The whole staff was very kind and very accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about this place. 11/10 recommend!!

When I called to make my appointment, Shelly was super helpful and nice. Her and Tracy at the front desk were always warm and welcoming. My first appointment and evaluation was with Matt. Matt was friendly and thorough and I started to feel better after that first appointment. My nextappointment was with Tim and thankfully they work together so well that I was still getting amazing results. I can’t say enough about this team and how they help their clients. They all really care and I always left my appointments feeling so much better. No appointment ever felt like an inconvenience or a chore. I highly recommend this location of Breakthru.

Saw Dr. Tim for 6 weeks at Breakthru to treat neck pain I had for over 6 months. He was excellent! Treatment consisted of heat, manual therapy and exercises. Tim has a friendly personality and listens attentively and then applies treatment- which worked extremely well for me. I highly recommend Breakthru and Tim.

I’ve been coming for months and no matter what I greeted with excitement. We are all here for a reason, and often times in pain… so it’s nice to know you have people rooting for you.Tim and Matt are phenomenal.

Catherine Harris

1701219878

I am so happy with my results from Breakthru. Honestly going into this process I was pessimistic about how P/T would help with my type of injury. With the guidance of the Breakthru team, I've progressed significantly in my injury recovery and on my way to a full recovery.

Tim is a great PT Dr and the other staff is also amazing. I change my appointments the day of or few hours before and they are always so kind and helpful about it. It’s honestly such a great place to go to for PT. I have seen such an improvement with my pain. Thank you everyone at breakthrough physical therapy.

All staff are extremely friendly and professional. Very flexible. Dr. Tim and Dr. Abby very knowledgeable and compassionate.I started treating pain in one body area, developed symptoms in another and each session has been customized to my needs.I have observed Dr. Tim’s “bedside manner” with others. He is kind and gentle with those who need help and more challenging for some. I unreservedly and highly recommend this facility.

Karen

I've been going to see Dr. Matt for 2 months for a meniscus tear. He has no only worked to strengthen and rehab my knee, but he works to improve all areas the effect the knee. The entire staff is so kind and compassionate in their care while still being fine and upbeat. I wholly recommend Mt. Laurel Breakthru to anyone who needs physical therapy!!!

Ashley Espinosa

1697145088

Tim is SUPER knowledgeable and talented. I used to DREAD physical therapy and he has found a way to help heal his patients and have fun along the way. Moving forward, if I ever have any injury that requires professional help I will be returning to Tim and this location. #TimforVP

I have been there for physical therapy for over 2 months now, since my foot surgery. Dr. Tim is excellent and has worked close with me on getting me back to work on schedule. I couldn't asked for a better team of PT. ,

I had consistent calf muscle pain for couple of months and struggled lot everyday... Tim is my Savior, after his PT sessions, my pain is gone and i finished my scheduled Broadstreet 10miles run. Highly recommend!

Cordell johnson

1687976969

If I could give Dr Abby 10 stars I would, she’s well worth the services. I’ve tried multiple PT facilities with no success in relieving my pain. It took Dr Abby one visit to feel the relief! I highly recommend BreakThru PT in Mount Laurel and Dr Abby to everyone. The office is nice and staff is wonderful! Special thanks to Carolyn at the front desk for recommending Abby, she’s been very helpful.

Carol Geller

1687820482

I am a veteran of PT, but I can honestly say that I have never actually seen and felt the good results I am getting after working with Tim for almost 8 weeks. I have numerous issues and he is helping me address them all. It is a great atmosphere, and Tim makes it fun. Tim is really knowledgeable and he listens to me and wants to help me achieve my goals. Thanks Tim. What a great feat! Lol

Kathie Palin

Abby is the best physical therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have been seeing Abby for at least 5 years for various injuries. I have always had a positive result. She makes me work hard and I don't mind as there is no gain without pain. I have recommended her to a number of individuals I know and they have all had positive outcomes.

Gypsy Blue Cooper

1685748338

The Breakthru team has been amazing. I’ve been working with Abby and Natasha for some time now helping me resolve a chronic recurring pain I’ve had the last ~8 years. Wish I’d discovered here sooner!

Erin Kitley

1685748172

I have been seeing Abby on and off for three years and I couldn't recommend her more! She is an amazing PT who always helps get me back to distance running in a safe manner. As a distance runner, I have faced a few injuries and with her talents, she has helped to get me back on my feet and back at the starting line. Not only is she a great PT skill-wise, but she is easy to talk to and takes time to get to know her patients. She works really hard to set realistic and safety minded goals. I always look forward to working with her every week!!
