Robert Berghorn has been helping endurance athletes to recover from injuries naturally and enhance their performance for over a decade. Here are just a few of his success stories.
When I first came to Dr Robert Berghorn, I was a little skeptical as I’ve been to other physical therapists before, but they weren’t able to help me.
I’ve been suffering from agonizing lower back pain that’s been stopping me from training and taking part in triathlons.
After coming to Ascent Physical Therapy, everything changes. Within 2 weeks of starting with Robert, I noticed a major decrease in my lower back pain and saw gains in my overall strength and balance.
Since Robert is a triathlete himself, he understands the needs of endurance athletes and can find the right strategies to improve their physical condition and performance.
I highly recommend Dr Robert Berghorn and Ascent Physical Therapy!
BRIAN LEBOW, LONG ISLAND – LOWER BACK PAIN
As an endurance athlete, it’s important to me to be in good shape. When my shoulder pain stroke, I went to chiropractic to get pain relief and treatment, but instead left with more injuries and pain in my hip and back.
After that, I came across Dr Robert and decided to give it a try. Dr Robert was able to put me back together. The back pain was gone within 2 weeks and I feel I have gotten so much stronger.
Dr Berghorn gave me great exercises to improve my overall physical well-being and I learned how to keep myself pain-free.
I’ve been able to continue swimming and running through all of my treatments.
I highly recommend Dr Robert to anyone who’s looking to recover from their injuries and improve their physical health.
CARYN ZILKA, LONG ISLAND – BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN
I am a regular athlete and enjoy running and being active. I was training for the 2022 NYC Marathon and was in desperate need to rehab some old injuries and get rid of some of the bad running habits I’ve developed.
Dr Robert spent an incredible amount of time and patience evaluating all aspects of my running including gait, stance, and stride.
He didn’t just provide exercises and send me out the door like other PTs, he worked with me intensely to improve my form and gave me tips to incorporate into my running regimen.
After that, I was able to run the marathon, which Dr Robert also ran. I ran the marathon and crossed that finish line just 13 minutes after Dr Robert did!
LORI INNAMORATA, LONG ISLAND – PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
After I obtained a severe back pain injury when doing some heavy lifting and gymnastics, I tried some other physical therapists, doctors, and medication, but didn’t get any improvement even after 6 months.
I was missing out on all the activities I used to love and the pain was really affecting my life in many ways.
Then I found Ascent Physical Therapy and within the first three visits, Robert identified the root cause of the problem which was a muscle imbalance that was causing my back pain.
As I began his treatment approach I was already feeling a slight difference within the first 3 weeks and by the 3-month mark, I was actually able to return to lifting.
By the 6-month mark of his treatment plan, I was then able to return to gymnastics. At this time, I have no limitations in my lifting (improved my PRs from pre-injury) and I have returned to full form in gymnastics without needing to hold back.
I would highly recommend Rob and Ascent Physical Therapy to those who are truly looking for a 1-on-1 detailed approach or for those who have been told PT was the answer but have not reached their goals with other providers.
