Physical Therapy for Knee Pain : Better Results in Less Visits

Knee Pain Treatment at Breaking Through

Have you tried physical therapy for knee pain and felt it didn't work for long-term results? That's because conventional physical therapy only scratches the surface, but Breaking Through is different. Physical therapy at Breaking Through goes deep to address the root cause of your knee pain. It's not about quick fixes, it's about lasting solutions.

At Breaking Through, we utilize the patented One80 System®. It is not just another treatment method, it’s a philosophy and a comprehensive approach that targets the underlying dysfunction. This system is about precision – from our total body assessment to each customized exercise you are given, our physical therapists will normalize your function in as few visits as possible.

Traditional physical therapy is focused on symptom modification, but that misses the point. Breaking Through will find the root cause of your pain. While conventional treatments focus on short term pain modification, our purpose is to maximize your nerve/muscle function. This is what will restore strength, increase motion, eliminate pain and get you back to your daily activities quickly.

Finding The Root Cause of Your Knee Pain

Knee pain can be caused by several factors and ultimately lead to loss of functional abilities. Knee injuries can happen in sports, recreational activities, slips and falls, auto accidents, or just from overuse. Here is a look at a few of the most common knee issues we treat with The One80 SystemⓇ: osgood schlatter's disease, patellofemoral pain, meniscal tears, contusions, fractures, ligament strains and sprains, osteoarthritis, and ACL tears.

When you have knee pain, most doctors and physicians will prescribe drugs or surgery. If you go to traditional physical therapy for your knee pain, they are trained to apply the one-size-fits-all protocols, tape, braces, and exercises. When you tell the chiropractor about your knee pain the recommendation is endless visits for manipulation. These approaches are designed to relieve the knee pain, but do not address the root cause of your pain, and thereby committing you to several repeat visits in order to remain pain-free.

Unlike most health care professionals, the physical therapists at Breaking Through implement The One80 System® to treat the root cause of the symptoms. We actually take all of the factors effecting knee function into account. For each visit we give you a total body assessment and design a plan specific to meet your individual needs. This is why our patients return to play, work, walking and all of their normal activities quickly without need for medication, treatment gimmicks and endless appointments.

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh’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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh 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!
