About Breaking Through Physical Therapy

At Breaking Through Intensive Therapy we provide physical therapy and neurofeedback to clients of all ages to help them reach their functional goals and live life to the fullest. Our Middleburg Heights physical therapy clinic got its start specializing in intensive physical therapy for individuals with neurologic deficits, which is why "Intensive Therapy" is in the name, but as we have evolved, so have our services. Our physical therapists became the only in Ohio certified in The One80 System to treat the root cause of pain, function and performance.  By employing this method we have become a physical therapy clinic most effective at using physical therapy for orthopedic injuries, sports rehab, sports performance and chronic and acute pain. We also provide neurofeedback sessions and equipment for those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression and a variety of mental health challenges. As a NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback Trainer, and the only NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback representative in Ohio, Jennifer Palcic can discuss renting and purchasing of the neurofeedback systems for companies, sports teams or for in-home use.
