Sports Rehab for Golfers
Restoring function back to your golf game through physical therapy and sports rehabilitation.
Whether you just started playing golf or you've been a golfer all your life, we understand that when the sport of golf has become a part of your life, you don't want anything keeping you out of the game. The sports rehab physical therapy you get at Breaking Through is extremely effective for golfers to return to the course with less sessions and long lasting effects than the typical ice / heat / massage / chiropractic treatment. We actually recommend eliminating those "treatments" because they are designed to treat your symptoms - the pain caused by the golf injury, without treating the cause. Our golf rehab physical therapy programs are created to engage the muscles that are not firing in order to strengthen your body and strengthen your golf game!
Golf Rehab: Common Golf Injuries
Golf can be one of the most physical non-contact sports - especially for beginners. When you're golfing 18 holes as an amateur, taking more swings to get from the tee to the green than the professionals, still working on perfecting that golf technique and carrying your own bag, you're putting a lot of strain on the body. At Breaking Through we do a full assessment on every client at each physical therapy session.
We treat all sports injuries, chronic pain and acute pain whether caused by your golfing game, another sport injury or overuse. Common golf injuries we see regularly include: back pain, golfer's elbow, shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries, knee pain, wrist tendonitis, hip tendonitis and ankle tendonitis.
How Not to Treat a Golf Injury
We will never tell you to stop golfing, we want you to be able to stay on the golf course and do the activities you love. Our physical therapists will perform a hands-on, one-on-one assessment and prescribe exercises catered to your individual needs. We do NOT prescribe rest, ice, heat, massage, taping, orthotics, anti-inflammatories or injections. We will find out the root cause of your pain, strengthen your body, and get you back to doing what you love in less visits with long-term results.
Golf Rehab Physical Therapy Sessions
The physical therapists at Breaking Through begin each golf rehab session with a personal, one-to-one assessment and treatment focused on your specific individual needs. This assessment helps us to look at your functional movement from your head to your toes. A traditional sports physical therapist will spend the entire golf rehab assessment focused on the specific area that has decreased mobility and function. Our treatment approach helps us find the root cause of your pain and dysfunction. Your golf rehab will have long-term results in fewer visits, and help you eliminate pain, increase strength, and prevent further injury.

- Re-Assessment: At the conclusion of each visit, we will re-asses your functional screen to see how your movement and function has improved, and how your limitations have decreased.

Melanie Reinke16 September 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
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
Jennifer Toth10 September 2026I love that the team at Breaking Through takes such a different approach to PT. I’ve sent several members of my family there for various issues, and the sessions we’ve had have been simple and subtle, but so effective!Posted on Google
Tony Smerk, Sr.8 September 2026Over 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
cynthia mikula8 September 2026Josh’s 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, I’m bone on bone but through his techniques of therapy, I can walk without pain. My knee doesn’t crackle as much either. With previous therapists, I either didn’t see any improvement or minimal improvement at best. I’m 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
Christian Lee8 September 2026Josh is the best medical professional I’ve ever seen for physical ailments / chronic pain. After years of dealing with issues and seeing surgeons / PTs, I’ve improved more in a handful of appointments with Josh than ~5 years with other clinicians. His One80 method is uniquely effective, but it’s his personal dedication to his craft that elevates the quality of care to another level. I’ve gotten back to tennis and golf during my time under his care and look forward to building even more strength!
