Our Award Winning Team in Asheville
About Us
Breakthrough Performance and Wellness, providing physical therapy in Asheville and Buncombe County, North Carolina, is redefining the role of physical therapy in the lives of active people. We are an essential line of treatment to recover quickly and thoroughly from sprains, strains, and fractures, but we are much more than that. We believe that to live life fully and authentically, you need to feel good enough to go hiking, to climb mountains, to play sports and to reach new performance levels, and we can help you achieve that.
We understand that our clients are active people who want to enjoy the mountain lifestyle fully and not be hindered by lingering pain and weakness. In all of our procedures and practices, the needs of our clients are the priority and all our decision-making stems forward from that. To that end, we see our profession as not merely a reactive treatment to injuries that have already occurred, but as a means to sustaining an active lifestyle without recurring problems. Our client-centered approach fosters movement and optimization.
We are also certified in Dry Needling and have an excellent reputation for our success in treating sports injuries and providing sports conditioning. Our clinics are located within Inspire Personal Fitness at 554 Riverside Drive, Asheville and within Glenn Bridge Crossfit at 12 Glenn Willow Dr Unit 67, Arden. There is free parking and access to CrossFit equipment and even a grassy outdoor area as needed for exercise. We believe that your full appointment should be spent under the care and guidance of your licensed and experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy, not being passed to an aide or technician five minutes into your visit.
Book an appointment or a free assessment with us to learn more how we can help you. We work in a Direct Access state, which means you can take advantage of our services with or without a doctor’s referral. All clients are furnished with itemized bills which can be submitted by them to their insurance provider, if their plan includes coverage.
