Meet Your Director

Tim Salkowski PT, DPT

MY HOBBIES: Reading, exercising, market analytics, guitar

Dr. Tim was first exposed to physical therapy after his father punched his boss’s desk at work, breaking his hand and sending him to a physical therapist. His dad had him come check it out since Tim was a lost, young person at a community college trying to figure out what to be when he grew up.

Due to his many years of lifting weights and athletic background as a soccer and baseball player, physical therapy was an immediate hit.

He would take a job as a physical therapist aide here at Breakthru Physical Therapy before eventually attending Rutgers University to receive his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. After graduation, he returned to Breakthru as a physical therapist and is currently the Assistant Manager of the Medford Taunton Forge office.

Dr. Tim’s passion for physical therapy grew from a love of physical fitness and exercise. He believes that exercise is, in most cases, our first and best line of defense against injury and pain.

Throughout his clinical experiences, he has developed a passion for orthopedic and sports physical therapy. Tim has a special interest in Blood Flow Restriction Therapy, which involves low load resistance exercise combined with moderate reduction of blood flow to a working muscle to increase strength and improve cardiovascular function.

The only thing Tim loves more than seeing his patients resume participation in activities they love is seeing them go on to make their health and physical fitness a priority in their lives for many years to come.

When I called to make my appointment, Shelly was super helpful and nice. Her and Tracy at the front desk were always warm and welcoming. My first appointment and evaluation was with Matt. Matt was friendly and thorough and I started to feel better after that first appointment. My nextappointment was with Tim and thankfully they work together so well that I was still getting amazing results. I can’t say enough about this team and how they help their clients. They all really care and I always left my appointments feeling so much better. No appointment ever felt like an inconvenience or a chore. I highly recommend this location of Breakthru.

Saw Dr. Tim for 6 weeks at Breakthru to treat neck pain I had for over 6 months. He was excellent! Treatment consisted of heat, manual therapy and exercises. Tim has a friendly personality and listens attentively and then applies treatment- which worked extremely well for me. I highly recommend Breakthru and Tim.

I’ve been coming for months and no matter what I greeted with excitement. We are all here for a reason, and often times in pain… so it’s nice to know you have people rooting for you.Tim and Matt are phenomenal.

I am so happy with my results from Breakthru. Honestly going into this process I was pessimistic about how P/T would help with my type of injury. With the guidance of the Breakthru team, I've progressed significantly in my injury recovery and on my way to a full recovery.

Tim is a great PT Dr and the other staff is also amazing. I change my appointments the day of or few hours before and they are always so kind and helpful about it. It’s honestly such a great place to go to for PT. I have seen such an improvement with my pain. Thank you everyone at breakthrough physical therapy.

All staff are extremely friendly and professional. Very flexible. Dr. Tim and Dr. Abby very knowledgeable and compassionate.I started treating pain in one body area, developed symptoms in another and each session has been customized to my needs.I have observed Dr. Tim’s “bedside manner” with others. He is kind and gentle with those who need help and more challenging for some. I unreservedly and highly recommend this facility.

I've been going to see Dr. Matt for 2 months for a meniscus tear. He has no only worked to strengthen and rehab my knee, but he works to improve all areas the effect the knee. The entire staff is so kind and compassionate in their care while still being fine and upbeat. I wholly recommend Mt. Laurel Breakthru to anyone who needs physical therapy!!!

Tim is SUPER knowledgeable and talented. I used to DREAD physical therapy and he has found a way to help heal his patients and have fun along the way. Moving forward, if I ever have any injury that requires professional help I will be returning to Tim and this location. #TimforVP

I had consistent calf muscle pain for couple of months and struggled lot everyday... Tim is my Savior, after his PT sessions, my pain is gone and i finished my scheduled Broadstreet 10miles run. Highly recommend!

If I could give Dr Abby 10 stars I would, she’s well worth the services. I’ve tried multiple PT facilities with no success in relieving my pain. It took Dr Abby one visit to feel the relief! I highly recommend BreakThru PT in Mount Laurel and Dr Abby to everyone. The office is nice and staff is wonderful! Special thanks to Carolyn at the front desk for recommending Abby, she’s been very helpful.

Carol Geller

I am a veteran of PT, but I can honestly say that I have never actually seen and felt the good results I am getting after working with Tim for almost 8 weeks. I have numerous issues and he is helping me address them all. It is a great atmosphere, and Tim makes it fun. Tim is really knowledgeable and he listens to me and wants to help me achieve my goals. Thanks Tim. What a great feat! Lol

Abby is the best physical therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have been seeing Abby for at least 5 years for various injuries. I have always had a positive result. She makes me work hard and I don't mind as there is no gain without pain. I have recommended her to a number of individuals I know and they have all had positive outcomes.

Bettyjane Watkins

I have gone to Breakthru for years. Most recently my therapist Tim Salkowski was transferred and promoted to the Mt. Laurel office. Once my schedule changed I was able to follow Tim to Mt. Laurel because out of all my therapists I had the best results with Tim. I highly recommend Breakthru, especially Tim. The office is brand new and all of the staff are kind and friendly.

Gypsy Blue Cooper

The Breakthru team has been amazing. I’ve been working with Abby and Natasha for some time now helping me resolve a chronic recurring pain I’ve had the last ~8 years. Wish I’d discovered here sooner!

Erin Kitley

1685748172

I have been seeing Abby on and off for three years and I couldn't recommend her more! She is an amazing PT who always helps get me back to distance running in a safe manner. As a distance runner, I have faced a few injuries and with her talents, she has helped to get me back on my feet and back at the starting line. Not only is she a great PT skill-wise, but she is easy to talk to and takes time to get to know her patients. She works really hard to set realistic and safety minded goals. I always look forward to working with her every week!!

Matt Newell

Abby and the rest of the breakthrough staff are wonderful. The whole team is attentive to any needs and never hesitates to answer any question you have. I’ve been going here for years and will continue to do so.

The Breakthru team has been incredible in helping my daughter recover from injury and get back to sports. When I realized how wonderful Dr.Abby and all the staff are, I decided to stop delaying my own treatment for long standing back pain. Thank you, Breakthru for being so helpful and accommodating every step of the way!

Susan Phillips

Tim and PT student Rachel at the Mt. Laurel office have been helping me for the past couple of weeks with sciatic-like pain. Worked with me at the beginning to develop a plan that fit with my goals. Both are very personable and made therapy (almost) fun! Highly recommend the office.

Tim and Matt have consistently created a treatment plan for me then gradually started me with it. They check in each time with me on how I feel physically before starting my program at times adjusting it when I’m struggling such as migraines and overall pain.I believe I have been improving in their care and therapy. They are professional yet friendly, knowledgeable and open to questions. I believe I’m in good hands.

Deborah Carroll

1664585673

Dr. Matt at Breakthru PT is exceptional! I suffered from a tear in my Achilles and since I’ve been working with him, I’ve significantly improved. He developed a dynamic plan for me where each time I see him, he alters my exercises to focus on the area around my Achilles. He uses blood flow restriction to help strengthen my muscles. At the end of each session, he uses their Game Ready device which applies compression and cold therapy to help the healing process. Dr. Matt is extremely knowledgeable, very precise, patient, compassionate, focused, thorough, great at explaining why an exercise helps and further demonstrating it, and he can be witty! I highly recommend Dr. Matt to anyone who is looking for an all-around physical therapist!

Jim Macrina

1664574766

The best place ever! I've been seeing Matt for a couple of years and he has helped me tremendously with multiple injuries. The place is clean with a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Joy Stewart

Matt Fredrick is the definitely the best physical therapist that I have ever been to! Years ago, Matt helped me heal from auto accident injuries after someone smashed into the back of my car when I was stopped at a red light. This year, my father needed physical therapy to build up his strength. I made sure to bring him to Matt, knowing that he would receive the best care. Matt is very thorough in explaining the treatment plan, ongoing progress and desired goals. Matt is really great at what he does! If anyone needs a physical therapist in the South Jersey area, be sure to come to Matt Fredrick.

Louise Carter

I started with Dr Matt with aquatic therapy at a very low level. I progressed to high level exercises in the pool and am now doing full body training on land. PT has helped decrease my need for pain management and has prevent my need for surgery. I would highly recommend Breakthru and Dr. Matt!

Janet Dagrosa

1664552143

I have had a remarkably quick recovery from my total knee replacement surgery working with Abby at the Mt Laurel Breakthrough PT. Abby really listens & quickly assesses my status to provide the right amount of push (and good alternatives) to show positive results….all in a fun caring atmosphere. My surgeon was especially pleased with my post op results. I definitely have confidence in Abby and will be back when I get my other knee done next year.

Breakthru is a wonderful company with wonderful staff. Matt is knowledgeable and well trained. He diagnosed my condition and was spot on prior to my imaging study being reported. I would allow him to treat my children, this is the highest compliment that a parent or a professional in my field of work can give. I am lucky to have found him and am thankful for his help.

Ian Tuch

Matt is the man! He's gotten me back on my feet after tearing Achilles. He is currently helping my son recover after tearing his ACL. I know we are in good hands and highly recommend him and the team at Breakthru!

Dr.Matt has helped my knee tremendously. I thought it was no hope when I first came because it was so far from my surgery, but he never gave up on me and changed my attitude. My knee bends with no pain now. All the staff is great and they care about you. Best place to heal in New Jersey!
