At Breakthrough Physical Therapy, we believe hope begins with movement. These reviews reflect the experiences of patients who found answers, support, and progress through personalized physical therapy care.

I was 4.5 months postpartum with my second baby, dealing with back pain I never had with my first. Everyday things—lifting my kids out of the crib, bath time, unloading the dishwasher, even sleeping—were painful and exhausting. I truly didn’t know where to start or who to see: chiropractor, back specialist, or Physical Therapy.

After a discouraging experience with my PCP, my OB recommended physical therapy, and I’m so grateful she did. I was able to get in quickly with Erin, and even after the first session I felt real relief in my muscle pain. After a few sessions, I’m in such a better place physically and mentally.

Erin is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and understands what postpartum moms are going through. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and in pain and don’t know where to start, PT felt like a very approachable, low-barrier step—and it made a huge difference for me.

I went to see Erin after several years of chronic and increasingly painful back pain (little did I realize how much my pelvic floor was the real culprit!). I went to Erin as a "last-ditch effort" on the advice of my daughter, who kept telling me I needed a pelvic floor PT.

 

I was losing hope that what I had was "real" or "treatable". Erin listened intently to my years of history, acknowledged and validated my worries, and assured me that my goals of yoga, tennis, and running were not unattainable.

 

Since working with her, I have learned to recognize and "treat" my own tension - I've built strength, and more importantly, I've regained my own confidence. Since March, I've run a 10k, 2-5ks, taught yoga weekly, and played tennis weekly with NO flare-ups. My only regret? I didn't find her 20 years ago.

 

She is gifted in skill, compassionate in treatment, and I am so very grateful to have her as a PT. :-)

I cannot recommend Erin highly enough. I went to her specifically for hip/back pain with sciatica. I'd had this pain and numbness for nearly 15 years through other PTs, orthopedic surgeons, pain management, sciatica nerve injections - it persisted.

 

After just a handful of sessions with Erin, the pain was 100% relieved - I actually remember the exact moment it went away!! It has been nearly two years and the pain has not returned thanks to the exercises, stretches, and life changes she taught me.
