Letter from Lance

Hello BREAKTHRU family and friends,

The warm weather and sunshine have arrived and are well deserved after such a long winter.  Summer schedules are usually filled with activities, some of which are new and infrequent ‘weekend warrior’ activities, so please make the proper time and attention to safety and prepare for more demanding events.

 

Please enjoy this newsletter and feel free to share any feedback with me personally or any of our team members.  I would like to take a moment to share some of the exciting news and updates in our organization.  

Please make yourself a priority and arrange with one of our personal trainers a short 5 to 10 minute session to take some baseline information from you to better allow us to help you achieve your goals. You can opt out of any part you choose.  The assessment will include identifying your goals, body composition, body mass index, postural exam, balance test, and flexibility/range of motion screen.  Please take the time to do this for yourself because our priority at BREAKTHRU is to assist you in reaching your fitness goals and we need to work together, with accurate information to accomplish this objective. 

We would like to offer you a complimentary nutritional consultation.  Please take the time to write a 7 day food log of everything you eat and drink.  Tyler Urzi M.S. CSCS, will complete a complimentary nutritional consultation for you and give you some written feedback.   

Please remember that our expert physical therapists are available to consult with you about any ache, pain, problem, or activity you wish to improve (e.g. golf).  We perform a medical screening to rule out problems that would need referral, and are able to point you in the right direction for any neuromusculoskeletal problem.  We will be dedicating time for consults so please schedule with our front office if you would like to take advantage of this.  

 

I would like to welcome Melissa Szasz, licensed Physical Therapy Assistant to our team.  Melissa has a fitness background and experience, and is very excited to have the opportunity to combine her expertise in these areas for your benefit.  

 

Michelle Derr, Physical Therapist with her Doctorate degree will also be joining our physical therapy team in Medford.  She is a college volleyball player and passionate about orthopedics and sports.  

 

Jeff Wood, Physical Therapist with more than 12 years of experience is joining our team as the Medford Facility Director.  Jeff has extensive manual therapy, fitness, and management experience and is Board certified as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist.  He enjoys ice hockey and competing in triathlons. 

Bob Schuster, CMT  has completed his massage training and is excited to join our massage team.  He has expertise in stretching and muscle energy techniques which he is excited to share with BREAKTHRU’s clients.
