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.

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.

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

Breakthru was recommended to me from a coworker and I am so glad I also chose to come here. I have been working with Shannon and she is great at what she does! Very professional yet personable and truly listens to what my needs and concerns are. She does her best to adjust to that! The facility is also a great location, clean and calming and the front desk is very friendly!

Breakthrough physical therapy has been a lifesaver for me after my injury. I play pickleball regularly, but I tore my calf muscles several times. Nick, my therapist, has been amazing in guiding me through the recovery process. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional. Thanks to him, I was able to return to the court as soon as possible. I highly recommend Breakthrough physical therapy to anyone who needs help with their physical health. They have a great team and a proven process that works.

Shannon and Bryan are literally my life saviors. Their communication is upfront and comforting. They are beyond sweet, and it genuinely feels like they are happy to be doing what they are doing! They answer all questions to the best of their abilities, and don’t get frustrated if you ask the same question multiple ways or need an alternative explanation. They actually try to find answers to your complaints, rather than dismissing you and just collecting a paycheck. I genuinely feel like they care about me, and my well-being. You don’t get that in very many places now-a-days.I was sent to Breakthru PT as a workers comp claim. My main complaints included severe headaches and dizzinesses. I also stated my left eye kept twitching and bouncing. I told them that MRI, CT, and X-Ray came back negative. Together, they immediately identified I needed vestibular therapy. Sure enough, after my first session, they identified I had left vestibular hypo-function. They brainstormed a plan of action how to correct the issue.Mind you, neurology kept telling me I was fine and just “trying to get out of work.” Neurology didn’t bother trying to figure out what was going on with me - but Shannon and Bryan did. I am beyond thankful for them, and couldn’t be more grateful that they didn’t just dismiss me as another “workers comp” claim. They treated me as a person - not as a paycheck.I am looking forward to further treatment to *hopefully* correct my hypo-function. Thank you so much Shannon and Bryan!

I highly recommend working with Matt at Breakthru! He is not only knowledgeable, but dedicated to making sure that every patient understands the how and why for each exercise. I have never felt bored when working with Matt, and I highly appreciate the creativity and effort he puts into every session. I recommend Matt and Breakthru 100%!

Matt is the Bob Ross of PT. I am his canvas ... no, am I the paint? He's definitely the brush, I think. I've been here and other places for different issues. Breakthru has the most knowledgeable and motivating people.. I'll never go anywhere else.

Everyone at Breakthru Taunton Forge is great…the front desk people, aides and therapists. Nick works wonders with my scoliosis. He and Kevin are the only ones in the area certified in the Schroth Method for scoliosis. The environment is fun and helpful.

My experience at Breakthru PT was wonderful. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knee, and after seeing Dr Chloe, I no longer experience any pain. I can climb stairs, walk my dog, and lead a fairly active lifestyle while pain free. Everyone at Breakthru is caring, encouraging, and supportive. I highly recommend them!

I went to Breakthru Physical Therapy after a serious ankle injury and surgery. I worked with Dr. Brian Konzelmann on my recovery. Brian was great to work with. He motivated me in recovery teaching me a wide array of exercises and stretches to rebuild flexibility and strength that I was able to do at home between PT sessions. Brian worked to make sure I got the maximum benefit from PT while keeping pain at a minimum.I've had PT in the past for other issues and this is the first time that I felt I was getting a lot of benefit from PT.

I worked with Dr Matt Fredrick for 12 weeks after a hip replacement surgery. Dr Matt’s professional and friendly manner was key to my success. His protocols for progressing the level of exercise from 2 weeks post surgery to the 12th week were totally appropriate and successful.

Everyone at Breakthru is friendly and professional, and my PT, Shannon, has been absolutely top-notch! She has helped me overcome my pain and patiently worked with me over the last couple months to build my strength back up. Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable, which was apparent as soon as I began discussing my pain issue with her. I would (and have) recommend Shannon to my friends, as she will take excellent care of any patient she meets. :)

BreakThru saved my lower back and pregnancy!!! I threw my back out early and Shannon fixed me and kept me healthy my entire pregnancy. She created specific exercises to strengthen my back, core, and pelvic floor to help me support my growing baby. I am forever grateful for her and the breakthru team!!

To begin with, the staff at the front desk is friendly and accommodating. My therapist Dr. Nick Nolan was the best. I came in for lower back issues and he developed a plan that greatly improved my pain issues. He is the best. I would recommend him to anyone. His knowledge and level of care is fantastic, and the staff is a pleasure to deal with. Five stars!!!!

I began going to Breakthru about two weeks ago and I’m already seeing improvement in my elbow. Meghan, my physical therapist is very knowledgeable and friendly, and good to work with the entire staff is great. The facility is well stocked and run very efficiently. P.S. Meghan did not bribe me in anyway to leave this good review. Lol!

I was hesitant about going through physical therapy but from day 1 Meghan had me feeling completely at ease. She is so personable and knowledgeable about a slew of different ailments! My Dr. has even complimented my speedy recovery and it’s all because of having Meghan for my PT. Breakthru Therapy (Medford) is now going to always be my go-to therapy place! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch therapy facility!

I have never felt better, but I have had a BreakThru! I wish I would have known about this place and the doctors earlier on. I am 5 years post-opt from a VBT spinal surgery for scoliosis and truly, I am grateful for my team. Dr. Nick has helped me in ways I never thought possible; in ways other Dr's have let me down. My overall quality of life has improved significantly based on knowledge of how to control my pain. I wouldn't feel normal if it wasn't for his guidance. I've struggled with pain my entire life. His colleague, Dr. Kevin, doesn't hesitate to offer a different technique to help target the deep muscles that won't budge. Truly, I have never known what it felt like to move without pain until I met them. Everyone in the building engages with one another. The environment is warm and friendly. A place where you can heal. As long as you put the work in! If you struggle with managing your pain (scoliosis related or otherwise), this is the place you want to dedicate your energy to.

"BreakthruBeliever" - Becoming a client at Breakthru six years ago for both fitness training and occasional physical therapy is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Fitness training has been a game changer for my athletic performance, weight control, and management of back pain. My current trainer Natalie Yakimov has been fabulous and has gotten me back in shape again after Covid illness and now at Medicare age am able to do things I couldn't have done when younger. The collaboration of the fitness trainers and physical therapists is an added benefit of coming to this facility.
