About Dr. Christine Astarita, Founder of Breakthrough Intensive Physical Therapy
While I wish I could say I have a direct connection to the special needs community which drew me to serve this community, I have to honestly say I don’t know what did exactly. Although that fact, my life’s mission is to create a world in in which special needs families’ lives are positively impacted by supporting you all. It’s not just about the children, but its also about the siblings and the parents too. So, I’m determined to help you get the most for your child and to help them live their best lives - and yours too.

What People Are Saying About Breakthrough Intensive Physical Therapy...
Client Progress Videos
Lily's Journey
When Lily's parents first contacted us, they told us they felt like her progress was stagnant in her current therapies and they wanted to give her every opportunity to be as independent as possible.
By the end of her three weeks, she was able to stand against resistance all by herself, get up from sit to stand independently, and even take a few steps by herself!
Savvy's Journey
Watch Savvy's incredible progress as she completes her 3 week intensive therapy program.
Savvy went from having difficulty independent sitting for 1 minute to being able to cross sit for over 17 minutes independently! She also was able to commando crawl and take steps on the treadmill to work towards her independent mobility.
Intensive programs help to rapidly progress milestones and Savvy clearly achieved just that!
