Dr.Sean has the best physical therapy practice! I've seen Dr. Sean and also several of his other practitioners over the past few years for PT/rehab as needed due to a fall and lower back injury. During that time, he has not only helped me improve my overall health and movement, but is always patient and empathetic, willing to answer any of my questions while helping me feel like I'm getting the most out of my physical therapy.
I've also had the pleasure of witnessing some of his interactions with other patients during this time, and the way he prioritizes ALL of his patients (young and older alike) is unmatched.
I was a skeptic of PT being beneficial for my needs at first, but Dr. Sean and his team have completely changed that. If you're looking for a place to do PT or any type of rehab, look no further. You will always feel like family here, and see progress with the various skills and treatments offered.
Thank you for all that you've done to help me heal, Dr. Sean and team!

Sean did a great job helping our little one get mobile! Gave great guidance and exercises week to week.

Nothing but great things to say. This is the 2nd place my infant daughter (started at 10m, finished a week before turning 1) has come to for physical therapy, after not feeling very confident the first place had much experience with babies. Sean helped my daughter reach milestones she was behind on, I’d say fairly quickly at that. Very consistent with appointment days & times every week. They have toys for engagement to get her moving and working on what needed to be done. No waiting for appointments to start on time. Interacted great with her as she’s very hesitant of new people but she was smiling & interacting with him amazingly after about the 2nd visit. I definitely recommend this place if you have a younger child who needs physical therapy and will be returning if any of my kids need any further assistance!

I absolutely loved my experience with BreakThrough PT in East Raleigh! I worked with Sean to rehab my knee and he was always lovely and tailored my exercises to my activities (dance) and goals! Donye at the front desk was also super helpful with all billing questions/concerns! The staff overall were really nice, helpful, and good at what they do. Highly recommend!

Good, competent people here. Highly recommend. They helped fix the issues I was having and armed me with the knowledge to keep myself strong.
If you’re a newcomer to PT, I recommend asking lots of questions and never skipping out on the exercises you’re given. You get what you give!

I’ve never done PT before and wasn’t sure what to expect but I’ve had a wonderful experience here. Dr. Sean was so knowledgeable. I also saw Chandler and intern Juliana. Everyone was honest and transparent with me and gave me practical advice which is way more than I can say about most doctors. I was going through a stressful time but I felt like this team was totally there for me 💯 They were kind and supportive and worked around my schedule, needs and goals. Also shoutout to Donye at the front desk with her endless positivity. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. I’m going to miss seeing them!

I recently had the privilege of receiving treatment at BreakThrough Physical Therapy, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for by Dr. Sean and his wonderful team. If you are looking for a PT office I highly recommend this one!

Sean helped me after I was diagnosed with a herniated disc. He was very helpful in every session and always willing to answer any and every question I had. He also took the time to listen to my particular issues and modify activities based on changes in my healing development. Hopefully I won’t need to return but if I do, I will come back to Breakthrough PT.

Dr. Sean is a great physical therapist. He is very friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, and calm. He is fantastic to work with! The staff Donye is amazing as well! It’s very nice talking with her on the phone or in person. The space is quite spacious and updated; clean and tidy! It has big glass windows and you can see trees and plants outside. The entrance game is really fun and engaging. Thank you for making it great Sean and Donye! If you are looking for a PT, that can be a great one to go!

BPT has knowledgeable and friendly staff. I like that Sean is willing to think outside the box when it comes to care/treatment. He really listens. Brian took time to demonstrate and thoroughly explain exercises.

I received PT at the Breakthrough location in NE Raleigh on Ramble Way. The team was great! Sean, Bryan are very methodical and thoughtful in designing a program that is specifically for your PT challenge. They patiently work with you and adjust your plan as needed. I went from a pain level of 9 to .5 (on a scale from 1-10). The entire staff are professional and caring. From the time you walk in the door throughout your healing process. I would definitely recommend working them.

The therapists here are outstanding! The level of personal attention is out of this world. They ALWAYS make me feel like I am their priority when I'm there. Very attentive to your needs! Not to mention , the fact that everything they do with you is personalized specifically for you. Very patient and kind people. They have NEVER made me feel out of place ,or like I'm not reaching my potential. Their enthusiasm is contagious! I never write reviews but these guys (and gals) are absolutely amazing , and I want others to know!! Thanks from the bottom of my soul to all that work at this facility!!

I love BreakThrough! Sean and his team are wonderful!! 💕When I came to BreakThrough, I could barely walk and was in a pain. After a few therapy, I’m back to normal. Sean Duggan and his staff were amazing kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sean and the staff of BreakThrough Physical Therapy/Raleigh East.
Me encantó Break Through! Sean y su grupo son increíbles Lo recomiendo 💯

You feel like you are part of a family, not just a patient. Sean is top notch. He explained everything and made sure I understood the process. I had a different type of Physical Therapy for vertigo. The program helped me in ways I thought could not be helped. Everyone there was professional and courteous. I highly recommend Break Through.

I can't say enough good things about the Breakthrough PT Raleigh East office. First, Dr. Sean. Sean is an incredible PT - the best I've worked with and I've worked with a few. He listens to patients, varies exercises, offers home options and always leaves time for questions. I came in for PT after a hip surgery (labral tear) and chose Sean because of his orthopedic certification. He really knows his stuff and is very pleasant to work with. Second, the facility is brand new and really well-maintained. Last, but certainly not least, the staff I've met (Lauren and Grace) have been equally pleasant, efficient and great to deal with.
