TelehealthRaleigh-Durham, Fayetteville & Surrounding North Carolina Cities

In response to COVID-19, we want to reinforce we take the health and safety of our patients, employees, and community seriously.

We offer virtual options for patients starting or continuing physical therapy for those who can not or do not wish to go into the clinic.

Because we take all extra precautions and follow CDC guidelines, our clinics are considered low risk of exposure and are some of the safest healthcare clinics you can find.

A Virtual Option

We completely understand that you may not want to participate in physical therapy at the clinic, which is why we are offering cutting-edge virtual physical rehabilitation services.

While our clinics remain incredibly safe, we are also dedicated to providing a physical therapy option for those who can not attend rehabilitation in person.

Telehealth FAQ

  • All BreakThrough Physical Therapy clinics offer Telehealth Screens. You can also visit any BreakThrough clinic location.

    • No! Both you and our doctorate-trained telehealth clinicians will come to a conclusion as to whether or not you are a good fit for telehealth physical therapy on day one in order to get you better in the best way possible.
    • PT is the best choice for helping patients get out of pain, or to keep moving, and to keep patients from needing pain medications, surgery, or extensive imaging. This, of course, applies to both in-person and telehealth physical therapy services!
    • PT also helps patients keep healthcare costs down and stay out of the doctor's office, by keeping them from needing medications, surgery, or imaging.
  • Yes. Here's exactly why...

    We understand that patients may not want to visit our PT clinic unless they feel certain it will help and that they will be safe and protected. That's why we are offering initial screens via telehealth

    Here's exactly what we are doing to assure that you and our teams are safe:

    • We are continually monitoring CDC, WHO and local health department guidance to keep the most up-to-date Safety and Health policies and practices.
    • Our front desk team screens patients for symptoms and exposure to COVID-19. Patients who meets these criteria will not be re-scheduled until after a two-week symptom-free incubation period, in accordance with CDC guidelines.
    • In line with social distancing recommendations, we are keeping patients separate from each other as much as possible.
    • We wash our hands before and after contact with every patient.
    • All staff members wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds each time.
    • We are continuing our routine environmental cleaning and using personal protective equipment as recommended by the CDC and our local health department.
    • We are sanitizing equipment and surfaces patients contact between patients.
    • Our clinics are stocked with hand sanitizer and tissues.
    • If a staff member is ill, she/he stays home.

    • Your pain is unique to your situation.
    • That's why we don't use the same treatment on everyone. Your dedicated physical therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan just for you, and then work with you so that you get the maximum benefit for the time you put in.
  • No! While some of our patients have a doctor's referral, we can also see you without a physician's referral.

    • Telehealth physical therapy has been shown to demonstrate comparable outcomes and patient satisfaction when compared to in-person.
    • Physical therapy is more effective, less invasive and less expensive than traditional health care treatment options.
    • Patients who get physical therapy right away are less likely to need specialist appointments, surgery, MRIs, and other expensive diagnostic procedures. And they spend less, an average of $4,500 less over the course of care.
    • Finally, physical therapy patients are less likely to need prescription pain killers.
    • The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that PT patients are 35% less likely to be prescribed opioids, even if they only come for one visit. Great news, since opioids are highly addictive and don't treat pain - they only mask it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.

BreakThrough PT Patient

I started working with Breakthrough Sports Performance to help with my back. I was unable to play two rounds in a row but after participating in the golf fitness class I can now play as often as I can without pain. The simple process of a physical assessment, swing assessment and KVest evaluation narrowed down the root cause of the injury and through exercises and drills we were able to fix it.

After just 4 visits...I feel like a brand new person. Before, I could barely walk for 15 minutes without my back screaming in pain. Now I'm zooming through therapy and going on walks at home.

Lorin Collins

I discovered Breakthrough Sports Performance due to an ankle injury. They were able to see within the first 24 hours which greatly improved my recovery time. They provided me with the right physical therapy and treatment needed to get me back on the court faster. Because of the knowledgeable coaches/trainers, and the excellent facilities, I have continued going to Breakthrough Sports Performance to workout, and I feel like I am stronger than I was before my ankle injury!

We rate BreakThrough Physical Therapy a 10; we are extremely happy! After having received excellent PT in the past, we had no doubt this was the only place we would trust with our son's recovery. The warm, welcoming environment makes it a comfortable place to receive therapy. This puts him at ease allowing for the most effective treatment. Thank you!

My husband was skeptical of my choice to use physical therapy to treat my back pain instead of medications. After seeing my results from working with the BreakThrough Physical Therapy team, my husband is a believer now too.
