We’ve shown you a day in the life of our PTs…Now it’s time for our girl, Michelle! 💙

Michelle has been part of Breakthrough since the very beginning, and she truly does it ALL.

Ever wonder what her day looks like?

➡️ Answering calls
➡️ Welcoming every family with a smile
➡️ Handling all things insurance
➡️ Reheating her coffee at least 2–3 times a day 😂
➡️ Capturing moments in the gym
➡️ Washing & folding pillowcases
➡️ And making a MEAN pot of coffee

We don’t know what we’d do without you, Michelle! 👏

Take a peek into a full session with Leo!

Jenna took Leo through:

💚 Triple extension ➡️ warming up his leg muscles to prepare for more functional movement!

💚 Declined sit-ups ➡️ building core activation and strength for improved stability!

💚 Standing + picking up weights ➡️ strengthening his back and posterior chain while working on shifting weight backward for floor-to-stand transitions!

💚 Floor-to-stands (with wedge support) ➡️ developing the strength and coordination to move from hands and knees into standing!

💚 Treadmill walking ➡️ building endurance and reinforcing the muscle patterns needed for independent walking!

Awesome job, Leo! 👏

“Sometimes Sibs may seem like they have it all together because they have no choice to be, but they need support too. They often don’t want to worry their parents or be a burden. They feel the need to excel. Sibshops address many issues in a very laid back, non therapeutic, fun environment.”

-Sibshops Parent 💙

If you’ve been on the fence about signing your child up for Sibshops… this might be your sign.

Our next in-person Sibshops workshop is THIS Sunday, May 3rd from 9:30 AM–12:30 PM!

Let us know if you’re interested in signing your child up, we would love to welcome them into our Sib family 💚

Three weeks flew by… which means it’s time to celebrate TWO more incredible kiddos completing their intensives! 💙

The hard work, determination, and growth they showed over the past three weeks has been AMAZING to witness!!! 👏

Arlo has made improvements in:

➡️ Sitting independently on the floor or bench without arm support for longer periods
➡️ Improved trunk control and ability to maintain upright posture across positions
➡️ Increased leg strength and endurance, allowing for better standing stability with flat feet

Maggie has made improvements in:

➡️ Walking longer distances in her walker with less support
➡️ Transitioning from sitting to standing with minimal assistance
➡️ Increased confidence and strength, with greater willingness to try new and challenging tasks

We are so proud of Arlo and Maggie!!! 💙

Hear from our families 💚

Tracey, one of our Breakthrough moms, shared what it’s been like having both of her daughters here, one in PT and the other in Sibshops.

Take a look at what she had to say…

“Both of my 9-year-old twin girls attend Breakthrough…one for PT and the other for sibling workshops. They both truly love being there. The staff is always welcoming and supportive, and the PTs make sessions fun and engaging, which motivates my daughter to want to put in the work.

My daughter who attends Sibshops has gained so much from the guided activities and open conversations about having a sibling with special needs, something she doesn’t always get from her friends. It’s made such a meaningful difference for her over the past year.

We’re excited to continue with both programs and are even looking forward to adding personal training for my daughter with Down syndrome this year.”

— Tracey, BT mom 💚

Maggie was ON FIRE today 🔥

One of those sessions you just can’t wait to share…

Here’s what she accomplished during her intensive session today:

➡️ 15 lunges on EACH leg + held the last one for 15 seconds!!! (something she hasn’t been able to do before)

➡️ Sidesteps onto a platform while holding her amazing angelfish pose

➡️ Treadmill walking with bungee support, taking BIG, strong steps

➡️ Walked across the ENTIRE gym in her walker with Christine

This session was all about pushing past limits, and Maggie rose to EVERY single challenge 💪

We are SO proud of you, Maggie!!!

The strength, focus, and determination you showed today was incredible 👏💙

Arlo is putting in WORK 🔥

During one of his intensive sessions last week, he took on the trike and absolutely crushed it!!

Pedal after pedal, he built strength, pushed through fatigue, and didn’t give up when it got tough, that’s the kind of determination we LOVE to see 👏

It’s his final week of his intensive, and we can’t wait to see how he closes out his program and everything he continues to achieve 💙

April SibShops Recap 💙

Another amazing SibShops day filled with connection, laughter, and so much fun!

We kicked things off by talking about what it means to be a sib…sharing stories, frustrations, and realizing just how much our sibs have in common. There’s something powerful about knowing you’re not alone!

Then we got creative making calm-down strategy fortune tellers, each one filled with coping tools and ideas to use when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Since the sun was shining, we headed outside for an Easter-themed relay race!

➡️ balancing eggs on spoons
➡️ bunny hopping & skipping
➡️ carrying eggs on heads

Safe to say… It was HIGH energy and full of laughs!

Back inside, sibs made their own tissue paper flowers, each one unique, creative, and designed with so much personality.

We shared pizza, talked about our favorite singers and concerts (turns out a lot of sibs have the SAME taste), and then played human rock-paper-scissors, which had everyone nonstop laughing.

To wrap up, sibs reflected on their support teams, and the sweetest part? Some of them wrote each other’s names!! 🥰

So proud of this group and the way they continue to show up for themselves and each other. 💙

Did you hear the news?!

Anaiah might just be the newest unofficial member of the K-pop girl group Huntrix 🎤

During one of her recent sessions, she wasn’t just working hard on standing, she was putting on a full-on pop star performance at the same time!

Talk about multitasking!

This superstar brings strength, confidence, and personality into every session!!

What do you think… did she crush it?! Because we definitely think she did 🔥
