Raleigh, North Carolina – BreakThrough Physical Therapy Reviews

I worked with Jared Gersch on managing and overcoming sciatica. Of all the PT's that I've worked with, Jared is the most outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, supportive, personable, and caring. He was able to accurately assess the areas that were causing my sciatica and design an individualized program that strengthened these areas. After 5 months, I was no longer experiencing sciatica. Upon completion of PT, Jared took the time to outline an ongoing home program that reinforced and further developed the exercises I had worked on during PT sessions. Overall, I felt stronger and more fit than when I began PT!

Great experience all around! Jessie took the time to thoroughly assess my fitness level during the first session and made sure I was comfortable with all the movements before progressing. She was extremely attentive throughout all the sessions, making sure the movements were executed properly. She wrote an entire fitness plan that I could complete outside of our training sessions as well and would check-in to see how I was doing. I highly recommend Jessie for anyone at any fitness level!

I was referred here for therapy after a bicep tendon repair. Specifically I was referred to Jared and I am so glad I was able to work with him.

I ended going twice a week for almost four months. They have a different approach there in that they want to see you within a week of your surgery. It was explained that it help my shoulder from not getting locked and I truly believe this did help in my recovery. While it may seem excessive to go twice a week I also thought this helped in achieving the goals that were laid out for me by Jared.

Jared has a wonderful bedside manner and listened to any concerns I had and answered all my questions. A few times when I felt a little frustrated on not tackling a movement he would offer up alternative movements to see if that would get the job done. He was always positive and never let me feel like my goals were not obtainable.

I also want to say what a great help Maria was with in’s paperwork and his two PT assistants which would get me initially started when I first arrived for my appointments. Both of them were super friendly and If they had time between patients they would chat a bit with me.

I would highly recommend going here without hesitation and hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to work with Jared.

Chris (and the rest) have been great! He's nice, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Gave very helpful exercises and stretches that I'm not sure I would have ever realized were helpful on my own (even though I do yoga and stretching every day!). Came in because of nerve pain in my neck and back caused by chiro, and with the daily stretches and weekly exercises it went away within a few weeks. Very amazed and pleased. I have chronic illness, so everything hurts all the time so I'll definitely be coming back when I have the time.

Highly recommend! Best PT I've ever had. I had debilating lower back pain when I arrived and am now pain free. Resolved my problem and provided a program to continue progressing and increasing strength and agility on my own. Jared (and all the staff) are very knowledgeable and thoroughly explain the how to and why's behind each exercise. Will never go anywhere else!

This is a picture of me day one of my running program when I told myself I would never run again! My doctor recommended Alan Tomczykowski following an acute injury from a Christmas Day walk with my family. I honestly was just going to Alan to try to relieve the pain and nothing more because I "knew my limits." I've never worked with a physical therapist that was able to think outside the box that I had put myself in from years of other PT. The techniques that Alan provided were individually based, realistic, and yet pushed me beyond my learned limits. Highly recommend Alan!

I recently had the pleasure of receiving physical therapy at Breakthrough PT Raleigh, and I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional care I received, particularly from therapist Alan Tomczykowski. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean and welcoming facility, making it easy to access and providing a comfortable environment for healing.

Alan's expertise and dedication to his work are truly commendable. Despite having one of the most complicated cases, he addressed all of my needs with precision and care. I had been experiencing pain and discomfort throughout my entire body for years, but under Alan's guidance, I feel like a completely new person. The majority of my challenges are no longer present or noticeable, thanks to his competent and compassionate approach to therapy.

What truly sets Alan apart is his ability to adapt and incorporate external factors into his treatment plan seamlessly. Midway through my treatments, I underwent medical procedures, and Alan effortlessly integrated my recovery into our sessions without missing a beat. His commitment to my well-being and his ability to tailor his approach to my unique circumstances made all the difference in my healing journey.

I wholeheartedly recommend Breakthrough PT Raleigh to anyone in need of physical therapy, and I especially recommend seeking out Alan's expertise. I've worked with several therapists in the past, but none have been able to solve the challenges I faced quite like Alan. It's important to be an active partner in your healing process and follow through with the recommended exercises and self-care outside of sessions, but with Alan's guidance, you can achieve remarkable results and feel great again.

Thank you, Breakthrough PT Raleigh, and a special thank you to Alan, for providing me with the best therapy possible and helping me regain my health and vitality.

Jared is the man. He helped me gain strength around my knee after having a lot of pain post marathon. Definitely recommend.

I have now seen Jared with BreakThrough Physical Therapy on Creedmoor Road three times. He has helped me a lot. He explains things well, answers all my questions and is encouraging in my progression.

Jared is an excellent Physical Therapist and customizes his approach. You receive individual attention and do not feel you like part of a heard of patients with a one size fits all approach. He listens to you and is empathetic with your pain. It was so helpful to be able to videotape his recommended mobilization and stretching exercises so I could do them at home. Highly recommend Breakthrough PT and will not go back to therapists at large Orthopaedic practices where it takes you a 4-6 weeks to get an appt and you are rushed thru.

Jared is an amazing person and therapist. He is knowledgeable, personable and so easy to talk too. He really listens and works with you to apply exercises that you can do on your own. Highly recommend him.

I can’t say enough good things about Breakthrough Physical Therapy on Creedmoor Rd. I used them in 2018, and again recently in 2023, both times with great results. I love that a real person (usually Maria) answers the phone when you call, and everyone there is friendly and professional. This time my therapist was Jared. He was the person who greeted me and did my entire session on each visit. The first visit was an assessment of my injury, what movements made it worse or better, so that he could tailor my therapy. I found him to be a great listener, compassionate, patient, kind, and SO knowledgeable! Each visit he adjusted the exercises and homework according to how I was progressing. I was often amazed at his ability to modify a movement just slightly to get the results he wanted. I liked that I could email him between sessions if I had questions, and they were quickly answered. At some point he reduced our visits from twice weekly to once weekly, then later released me to finish my rehabilitation on my own by continuing the exercises he had given me. I highly recommend this business, and will definitely use them again if I need PT in the future.

This place is amazing. I came here to rehab from my shoulder surgery and I couldn't have had a better experience. They don't just have you do exercises and move you on. They get to know you as a person, establish your goals, and develop a plan to get you there. You won't find a better place for your physical therapy.

This has been the most successful PT experience I’ve ever had. I worked with Jared and found him to be super knowledgeable, extremely thorough in his explanations, nonjudgmental, and encouraging. I wouldn’t hesitate to send any friends or family members to see him. Also, the office is well run, the space is clean and well supplied, and the support staff (Caleb) is helpful. I’ll be utilizing their personal training services next.

This place is very clean and has wonderful friendly service. Professional staff. Everyone has a smile and welcoming. Alex is a phenomenal trainer. I am doing so much better and was pretty discouraged when I started. The exercise and specific stretches he assigned for me has had a direct effect on my pain and has continued to help and give relief.
I highly recommend !!
