BE DIFFERENT
How is Breaking Through different? Unlike other providers in the traditional medical roles, we use critical thinking and science-based analysis to drive all our assessments.
Our team takes the extra time to work with each individual and determine the root issue that is holding them back. This separates us from many of the traditional model therapy clinics.
Our level of care we provide is not the industry standard. We are different and we get results. We are One80 SystemĀ® providers and NeurOptimalĀ® Neurofeedback providers which truly sets us apart.
THINK DIFFERENT
Our method of physical therapy is different. No gimmicks. No fancy PT equipment, injections or contraptions. The first step to healing is to change the way you think about your pain and your body.Ā Pain can be a signal from the body that it is trying to heal itself. Using The One80 SystemĀ® we help our patients understand the root cause of their pain and take control of their healing process.
We also offer brain training from NeurOptimalĀ® Neurofeedback.Ā This is a different approach to improve your mental and physical performance.


MOVE DIFFERENT
During each one-on-one physical therapy session, we complete a full body assessment. We test the movement, function and strength of your muscles and then implement an individualized home exercise program that will continue to keep your muscles active.
Our neurofeedback clients use brain training for sports performance. This can help them move pain free with more confidence and certainty, while decreasing performance anxiety and improving focus.Ā Ā
BE DIFFERENT
Breaking Through is unlike your typical "healthcare" providers because we Think different and Move different. We want to Be different to help our clients live their lives to the fullest. We do not want our clients to become dependent on our treatments or have to rely on us in order to feel better. Instead we want to educate them on how they can return to a pain-free lifestyle.

I had plantar fasciitis for months. I thought I could fix it on my own through YouTube videos and advice from others. I could barely hobble mornings because my pain was so bad. My daughter suggested Breaking Through Intensive Therapy in Middleburg Heights. They are absolutely amazing!!! They didn't just treat my foot's surface symptoms, they have a 180 approach which finds the root cause of the pain and corrects that. It's truly incredible what they do. I felt so welcome and no question was too silly or unimportant. I still learn something new every time I go there. It's awesome. I learned so much and feel so much better and I cannot recommend Breaking Through Intensive Therapy enough. They are so incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and skilled, and you will wonder why you waited so long to go.Posted on Google![]()

I love that the team at Breaking Through takes such a different approach to PT. Iāve sent several members of my family there for various issues, and the sessions weāve had have been simple and subtle, but so effective!Posted on Google![]()

Over the past year I have experienced growing pain and discomfort in my lower back and down my legs . . . including some numbness in my feet. I had begun a program of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen to manage/control the pain. At a meeting with friends, someone suggested physical therapy as a means of finding relief. They suggested Breaking Through, where several people had already had success in managing new back pain. Because of the relationship with those people, I went to Breaking Through and had my first treatment. I felt immediate relief right after the first treatment . . . and for the week that followed. So much so, that I had no need for the pain medication I had been taking prior to the treatment. I have been given exercises that take about 15 minutes to do 3 times a day. Since doing those, I am now experiencing very little pain and hope to achieve complete pain free days in the near future. I will see the therapist for a few more treatments to be sure it is not temporary, but I am feeling confident that the exercises and the treatment have helped me find relief that will lead to a pain free life again. I was actually considering surgery, as was proposed to me after an evaluation by a neurosurgeon, until I started the treatments. I am now convinced that Breaking Through has helped me "break through" the pain . . . and I'm on my way to those pain free days again. I highly recommend you visit Breaking Through to find the experience that may help you find pain free days as well.Posted on Google![]()

Joshās methods of physical therapy at Breaking Through are exceptional! He has helped me with both shoulder and knee issues. I was unable to work due to a shoulder injury and after three visits, I could safely return to work without pain. As far as my knee is concerned, Iām bone on bone but through his techniques of therapy, I can walk without pain. My knee doesnāt crackle as much either. With previous therapists, I either didnāt see any improvement or minimal improvement at best. Iām very disciplined about doing my prescribed exercises at home, but no matter how much I did, I was making little progress. At Breaking Through, I see results. My quality of life has improved. The at home exercises are easy which makes me more incredulous that this stuff works! I have referred other patients to Josh, and after a few sessions, they could do things that previously were difficult or painful. One person was told by his therapist that there was nothing more they could do. This was as good as his mobility was going to get. He improved after a couple of sessions. Josh really understands the bio- mechanics of the human body. He applies that knowledge to get you moving. If you have tried physical therapy in the past, just leaving you discouraged, try Breaking Through. You will be encouraged!Posted on Google![]()

Josh is the best medical professional Iāve ever seen for physical ailments / chronic pain. After years of dealing with issues and seeing surgeons / PTs, Iāve improved more in a handful of appointments with Josh than ~5 years with other clinicians. His One80 method is uniquely effective, but itās his personal dedication to his craft that elevates the quality of care to another level. Iāve gotten back to tennis and golf during my time under his care and look forward to building even more strength!Posted on Google![]()

Love these guys! Josh is excellent at what he does and this technique has helped me considerably. I really like the fact that they have videos for all of the prescribed exercises that they send to you after the appointment . Highly recommend, especially if traditional physical therapy has failed you.Posted on Google![]()

I rented a Neuroptimal device from Jennifer and the crew at Breaking Through Intensive Therapy and had a great experience! From rental all the way through the set up and running of the neurofeedback program the process was seamless. I highly recommend renting the unit or doing in-person neurofeedback sessions from Breaking Through!Posted on Google![]()

Breaking Through broke through on my first visit! From their welcoming staff to their full body assessments and therapies, they did not disappoint. I no longer have sharp pain in my shoulder and have a plan in place for continued improvement with stretching I can do from home. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

The name says it all! I truly have broke through my pain with the help I received from Josh and Jen. I came to them with ankle pain and was having trouble walking. The exercises given to me had me feeling better after a few days and fully recovered in just a few weeks! I couldnāt believe how fast it worked! Thanks Josh and Jen!
