Abide Physical Therapy

I've been seeing Michelle for some repetitive strain due to Jiu Jitsu and physical activity. Not only does Michelle help reduce pain, but she teaches me preventative tools to make sure the pain stays away. She's incredibly knowledgeable and very patient.

Just two sessions and I’ve made vast improvement in my deficiencies! Michelle is great at explaining what she’s seeing and address the issues. Over the years of weightlifting, tightness and compensations have compacted from some injuries that were not resolving by stretching and long warm-ups alone. The dry-needling and cupping she’s done is specific to your needs and best of all she’ll give you the tools to do at home continue the fixing of your body mechanics!

I’ve had undiagnosed chest/abdominal pain for a couple years now. It’s been investigated by numerous doctors and specialists, ruling out everything major, but it has persisted. Within one session with Michelle she discovered I had two immobilized vertebrae (and this two immobilized ribs). We began treatment and it’s the only thing that’s had any effect on it since it began.

Plus, she’s helped keep me healthy through several jiujitsu injuries. I can’t recommend her enough!

After a few months of dealing with pelvic floor issues, I watched a few of Dr Michelle’s Instagram stories and decided to go to her in person. She really listened and talked through all elements of my issues and gave me a few small exercises to start with the first meeting. After a few weeks, I was already seeing a difference, which has allowed me to progress slowly but really see and learn my body and what it needs. I’d highly recommend her to anyone having pelvic floor issues as a solution beyond surgery or doctors.

I have gone to Dr. Michelle for a couple injuries, but most recently an ankle injury. I had sprained my ankle pretty bad and had gone without treatment for several months hoping it would resolve on its own. Eventually I went to Dr. Michelle for an evaluation and treatment, and I wish I had gone sooner! She evaluated the issue and performed treatment on my ankle, while assessing any progress throughout the session. I left with less pain, more range of motion and practical's to continue to help my healing. She's very flexible with her scheduling and the ability to pay with my HSA is the best! Dr. Michelle is my go to!

I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and chronic pain, and have tried out a few specialized physical therapists, looking for the right fit for me. Even after working with other providers, I was still experiencing pain. In addition, I couldn't find anyone who was trauma-informed as a physical therapist. But that all changed when I met Dr. Michelle!

After hearing about Dr. Michelle from another person with EDS, I started seeing with her. Working with Dr. Michelle has been amazing. Not only is she trauma-informed, but thanks to her expertise I've been pain free for the first time in years. Dr. Michelle is empathetic, super knowledgable and doesn't give up on me.

If you are in pain or have EDS/POTS/MCAS like me, I highly recommend Dr. Michelle!!

Came to Dr. Michelle after struggling with pain while squatting in just one leg. After explaining and showing her where/when it hurts, she was able to quickly diagnose the root of the problem. I loved that the session took place in the gym so that I could demonstrate the issue and we could test progress as she worked on me. Even in just the first session I noticed a huge improvement. Dr. Michelle is an athlete herself which is extremely helpful because she understands the movements and has great tools to get you moving correctly again. I appreciated that she gave me exercises to work on at home between sessions. She took video me doing the exercise on my phone so I could go back and reference it. Flexible with her hours and takes HSA. Would recommend Dr. Michelle to anyone.

Michelle is an amazing physical therapist! Aside from being extremely knowledgeable she is also very caring. She goes above and beyond her work duties to make sure her patients are receiving the best care possible. She takes her time in evaluating the ailment and finding very helpful exercises and routines. I highly recommend Michelle!

Michelle has been an incredible source of relief for me, addressing multiple physical issues that I’ve encountered due to my active lifestyle. From IT band problems to persistent shoulder and neck pain, as well as issues with my calves and back, Michelle has consistently provided effective treatments. I had been suffering from shoulder pain for years, resigned to the idea that it was a long-term issue, but Michelle's diagnosis and treatment turned things around quickly. The fact that she offers mobile appointments is a game-changer, making it much easier to schedule sessions during busy workdays. A big thank you to Michelle for her outstanding work!

Michelle is incredibly thorough and caring. She is tactful in her approach to making you feel whole. She does more than just manage symptoms, she addresses the root problems. I cannot overstate the value I find in her services and what she has done to keep me feeling healthy.
