Exercising with Pain?!

Gina Hahn | April 26, 2021

Is that OK?? We all know that exercising regularly and eating nutritious foods are important for good health, but what if you have pain when you exercise? How are you supposed to be healthy or stay healthy if exercising hurts? Should you just “push through it”? Should you ignore what your body is telling youContinue Reading »

I have worked with two therapists at Breakaway and both have been excellent. They listen, they evaluate, then devise a plan for improvement. Highly recommend!

The staff at Breakaway Physical Therapy - therapists, assistants, and front desk staff - are all knowledgeable, professional, respectful, kind and with a nice sense of humor. I’m very grateful for their efforts in helping me become healthier than I was before.

I just completed my PT regimen for a hip-muscle injury with Sara. My injury had ended much of my at-home fitness programs, and also affected my ability to walk, get in an out of my car, and even my sleep. She was excellent: professional, knowledgeable and encouraging. I am completely healed and better than ever! The entire organization was welcoming, friendly, and always made me feel comfortable and valued. This was my third PT effort over the past five years (I will soon turn 75) and Breakaway is hands down the best.

Shana and her team worked absolute magic - diagnosed my problem, came up with a workable plan, and had great continuity. We even came up with future exercises for after I “graduated.” Everyone on the staff is great and the facility is wonderful. Highly recommend!!

My PT lady Sarah was extremely professional and proficient in evaluating my post hip replacement rehab requirements. She checked the starting range of both of my legs wrt strength and mobility. She put me through a wide range of flexibility tests. A 10 visit regimen was set up and I was provided with a set of exercises to do at home. I was very satisfied with my initial visit and highly recommend this PT facility.

Shaina and her team are WONDERFUL! I am so happy and better since I began my pelvic floor physical therapy. I did not even know this type of PT existed. Her team has helped me get SLEEP FINALLY after many years of struggling with overactive bladder issues. I can also lift weights and do squats again without pain. They have taught me the correct way to breathe when I lift and most importantly, how to relax and contract my pelvic floor muscles. I am retraining my bladder with their help and I do not need the EXPENSIVE medication for OAB. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! Keep up the WONDERFUL work!

The therapists at Breakaway are great! They all take the time to know every patient and their needs. They are a smaller facility and not a large franchise and they provide very personalized treatment.

I've been to physical therapy three times in my life and hands down, Breakaway Physical Therapy is the best. When I made my initial call to schedule therapy, I spoke with Dan who treated me with kindness and professionalism. When I arrived at their location in Crofton, I was delighted to find a cheery and welcoming facility that is very clean and well-designed. I can't speak highly enough of Shaina Clemons who conducted my intake exam and has worked with me on subsequent visits. She mapped out my therapy plan, so I had a roadmap with a clear path to recovery. I have made incredible progress in just a few weeks. Nice staff, skilled and knowledgeable therapists, great location and ambience. Highly recommended!

I primarily saw Grace at Breakaway physical therapy. Grace is exceptionally skilled and kind. It is obvious she really cares about her patients.Breakaway stopped taking my insurance rather abruptly. When this was done the owner came to talk to me about the situation which I appreciated. However, I felt Shania could have handled this a lot better. In the conversation Shania came from the perspective that they were doing what was best for business and overall patients. However, in doing so she failed to realize that this was hurting some patients as they had to find new PTs or pay out of pocket. I would have appreciated if Shania had provided other PT recommendations in the areas to help ease the transition process.My other compliant is that Breakaway rescheduled my appointments on occasion, this was no big deal and I tried to be flexible every time they called. However, over the course of 1 year of PT I missed ONE PT session (mixed up dates) and they charged me DESPITE my continuous flexibility when they changed appointment times on me with little notice. I also requested they remove the charge and they have not. If the business wants patients to demonstrate flexibility, they also need to be flexible and understanding.Update 06/27/2023: After posting the review, the charge for missing the appointment was removed my statement which I appreciate. Therefore, I updated my review from 3 stars to 4. Despite some issues at the end, overall, I had a good experience with Breakaway and cannot speak highly enough of Grace as she is truly exceptional.

Been here for almost a year for both a knee injury and pelvic floor therapy. Everyone is so knowledge and so kind! Best of all, they are super kid friendly, which is critical for this homeschooling mama.

Caring PT team with especially excellent knowledge about women's muscular health. Great with kids as well. They even have toys in most of their rooms and won't be bothered if you bring kids. I enjoy every appointment with them.

Breakaway has become my go-to place for physical therapy. I found them after being referred by urologist. Since, I have used them for recovery from Achilles surgery and bad knees. The staff is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

Beyond grateful for Breakaway Physical Therapy! I had a significant fall while roller blading that did not break any bones or cause any soft tissue damage but my hips were misaligned and it was causing sciatic pain which was awful. After dealing with the pain and stress for 3 weeks after the fall (including 1 primary doctor visit, Rx for nerve pain, 2 emergency visits, multiple x-rays, and a CT scan) I finally scheduled a consultation at Breakaway with a physical therapist. After my 2nd session, my pain and discomfort went from a 7/8 down to a 2/3! 🤯I want to point out that there were good days and some not so good days each week. However, it was clear that I was making progress. For me this was a HUGE deal. It actually interfered not so much with work but with my home life. My youngest child has cerebral palsy and requires extra assistance and being 6 years old she's not little! This requires me to be somewhat physically capable of lifting heavy weights. Being unable to so this for weeks was heartbreaking. During the initial weeks I was also unable to sit down without being in terrible pain so I had to be not just on my feet, but moving around as well (standing idly was almost just as bad).Enough about me, the staff is amazing! The front desk ladies are always warm and welcoming. They always had sweet smile and a kind word ("Happy Monday!" was my favorite). Every therapist I saw was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable, answered my questions, and put up with my antics.Do not forget the end! Getting a choice of heat or ice to end the session was the perfect way to finish the appointment. (Yes, they'll even turn the lights out during this time for you)!I cannot recommend this facility enough!!

Everyone is so friendly and compassionate! They always take the time to explain things to me really well, are endlessly patient, and make me feel at home. I couldn’t dream of going anywhere else.
