***Testimonial Tuesday***

Here is some feedback we are getting from our patients lately - highlighting Dr. Emma Gasinski today.

3 different patients:

One had debilitating back pain with sharp pain down the leg preventing him from sleeping comfortably for the last 3 months. He came to therapy and we saw these results in 4 weeks 🙌 he's not 100% back but definitely on his way to recovery.

Second is a patient who had been dealing with heel pain the last 6 months. He has been coming to therapy for the past 5 weeks and has KILLED it and is now back to fly fishing and biking through the beautiful roads of North Carolina.

Lastly, another patient who had back pain he was seriously contemplating surgery. He has been to therapy for the last 4 weeks and has made tremendous strides! We now have him back to doing yoga, building his home, and enjoying life again 🤗

Furthermore - they all have HOPE. AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR - to celebrate the little things, the big things, to be a shoulder to cry on, and a hand to high five when successes are made.

IF YOU HAVE HAD NAGGING PAIN OR DEALING WITH AN INJURY - we are here for you! Allow us to be on your side and get you back to doing the things that you love! Make an appointment today!

We wanted to announce the newest member of our team!

I decided that if 1 Dan was great, 2 Dans would be even better! (Just think of the puns)

Welcome to the Breakthrough Team! 🎉🙌🏻🎉

A little about our newest Dr. Dan:

Dr. Walden is a graduate of the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at the University of Tennessee. During his time as a young clinician, he curated his passion to serve his patients who were otherwise left without resources. He advanced his professional development by pursing specialized training in manual physical therapy skills, such as spinal manipulation and dry needling through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy.

Dr. Walden has completed a fellowship in orthopaedic manual physical therapy and is presently a Fellow of the American Academy of Manual Physical Therapists (FAAOMPT).

Where you can catch him outside of the clinic:

Dr. Walden enjoys getting outside mountain biking, surfing, and fly fishing. He’s also through hiked the AT and is a proud Vanlifer

Message us to get on Dr. Dan’s schedule and keep an eye out for us at some local bike shops in the next few months!

An exciting weekend for some of the Breakthrough Staff! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️

👟Dr. Emma has been training diligently for months and her hard work is going to pay off this weekend in the Asheville MARATHON! 26.2 miles is a freaking long way to run and she’s prepared to crush it!

💪🏼Dr. Audra will be competing in the CrossFit Individual Quarterfinals this weekend. 5 workouts over the weekend to be judged and scored in efforts to improve her worldwide ranking!

Does your PT even lift? does your PT even run? Yes, they certainly do!

2. Eliminate your pain
3. Develop a long term plan to keep you healthy and moving

Catch Dr. Audra at Glenn Bridge, Saturday January 21st for an overhead squat clinic! The open is just around the corner and we haven’t seen the overhead squat in a while so it just may show up!
🏋🏽‍♀️
The overhead squat is a challenging and demanding lift that requires a great amount of strength and mobility but when performed correctly, it’s an amazing lift for full body strength and conditioning! Hope to see you there!
