I can't recommend Break Through Physical Therapy enough for anyone suffering from sciatic nerve pain! I was dealing with excruciating back pain that radiated down my leg, and nothing seemed to help. I had tried medications and injections, but they barely made a dent in the pain. I was feeling pretty hopeless until I found Break Through.
After just three visits within a week, I was already feeling so much better and was able to return to my normal routine, something I thought I'd never be able to do with how bad my pain was. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional. They took the time to assess my condition thoroughly and created a personalized treatment plan that included both in-office therapy and exercises I could do at home.
The physical therapists walked me through each exercise and movement, ensuring I was doing them properly and safely. I felt supported every step of the way, and the exercises were surprisingly effective in easing my pain. I really appreciated that they didn't just rely on one treatment there was a great combination of manual therapy, stretches, and strengthening exercises.
Although I had tried other treatments before, this approach really worked wonders for me. By the end of the week, I had made huge strides in my recovery, and I could feel the difference almost immediately after each session.
If you're struggling with sciatica or back pain and haven't had much success with other treatments, I strongly recommend giving Break Through Physical Therapy a try. The results were faster and more effective than I ever expected, and I’m so glad I found them. Thank you, Break Through, for helping me get back to living pain-free!

I came to BTPT after a concussion with lingering symptoms of dizziness, imbalance, and neck pain. Winnie was supportive from day one. She listened, understood what was going on, and created a plan that worked. Over the next two months, she helped me make a lot of progress, and I’m finally feeling so much better. She’s not only highly skilled, but also incredibly genuine and caring!

Highly, highly recommend BreakThrough PT! Winnie is excellent--extremely knowledgeable, caring, and kind. I came in for help with a nagging ankle injury, my sessions with Winnie had my foot feeling the strongest it's felt in years. No matter what your PT-related needs are, you will receive top notch physical therapy here.

I started coming to BreakThrough over a year ago because I was dealing with sciatic pain and knee pain. Cheyne has been incredible and working with him I am now able to run again without any knee pain. He’s a wonderful physical therapist and the staff are always very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend them if you need a PT.

After two months of an intense ankle sprain that hadnt improved I decided I needed a professional to help. I was referred here by my doctor and with a combination of in office visits and at home exercises I have regained full mobility, strength and most importantly am pain free. Very thankful for the help that breakthrough provided for me. Hopefully I will stay injury free but if I get injured in the future I wont be waiting two months to reach back out. Thank you.

I have been struggling with knee pain for almost 5 years and I didn't think that I would be able to run pain-free again, let alone run the most I've ever ran before pain-free. Brian at breakthrough made this the quickest and most enjoyable PT experience that I have ever had! Normally, when I've gone to PT it feels dragged out and I don't understand how the exercises are actually working to help my injury. Brian explained all of the exercises to me and created a plan to maintain the exercises outside of PT so that I wouldn't need to come in when unnecessary. Great atmosphere and great staff at Breakthrough, I would highly recommend!!

Breakthrough helped me recover from a fractured ankle. With their support, I’m back to doing everything I could do before my injury. The exercises they prescribed went at the perfect pace to heal smoothly, & also to continue strengthening my ankle after therapy concluded. My orthopedist originally referred me to Duke PT, but their first availablility was 3 months out — Breakthrough got me in that same week. If I ever need PT in Durham again, I’ll come bqck to Breakthrough.

Best physical therapy practice in the area! Helped me get back on my feet (literally) after a fibula break and back to 100% in right around two months! They also helped me work through chronic pain issues and some migraine issues. Overall just wonderfully helpful people!

Cheyne and Quinn quickly helped me recover from a car accident. Cheyne identified areas for strength improvement and gave me a set of at-home exercises that have really helped. I highly recommend!

What I especially appreciate about Dr. Cheyne and the approach at Breakthrough PT is that it is multi-modal - combining strength training, stretching, targeted massage, dry needling and more. This was a significant improvement over strength-only PT approaches I've encountered before.
