Abide Physical Therapy

She truly cares about each patient. Every time I see her it's like seeing an old friend. She's knows how the body moves and why which allows her to treat the source of the issue. Not just the symptoms.
I have multiple bulging disc and a couple herniated ones as well. I've been to multiple dr's. And not a single one was able to get me relief like she could . Not to mention having a workout regime to help me get back on my feet again.
Michelle is one of the people I thank God for having in my life. Truly a blessing to know her.

I went to Abide Physical Therapy early on in my pregnancy when I was dealing with some pretty intense pain in my neck and upper back. Michelle was amazing! She performed dry needling, and it was exactly what I needed to relieve the discomfort. I'm so grateful for her expertise and the care I received. Highly recommend Abide PT if you're looking for relief and professional, personalized care!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Michelle at Abide! She has taught me so much more than any other Physical Therapist I’ve seen in the past. I’ve learned so much about pelvic floor and Dr. Michelle always has an answer to my millions of questions. Aside for pelvic floor, she has helped relieve the shoulder pain I’ve had for years. Highly recommend!!

What an incredible experience! I feel exceptionally fortunate to have met Michelle and her outstanding team. For years, I struggled with persistent lower back pain, compounded by chronic muscle tightness and herniated discs from sports injuries. There were days when simply getting out of bed felt like an uphill battle. However, everything changed when I met Michelle. She listened with genuine care and assured me that her focus was on complete healing, not just temporary relief. With unwavering confidence, she told me that if I followed her recommendations, I would be cured in just seven sessions. I fully embraced her approach, and after those seven sessions, I emerged pain-free. Now, two years later, after heavy lifting and resistance training, I can confidently say I’m completely free of pain. If you’ve been suffering for years without answers, know this: it doesn’t have to be your...

Exceptional on all fronts! From customer service to knowledge and practical application, Michelle with Abide has you covered! I was able to discuss symptoms of what induced it, get a visual through a spine prop to understand what was going on with my neck pain, and steps to alleviate it with some stretching by being able to both record me to ensure I have a copy of the process as well as measure my neck rotations before and after to showcase the results. I feel the difference!! Thank you so much Michelle!

I saw Dr. Michelle for discomfort I’d been having around my rib cage for a couple months on and off. It seemed to go away “on its own” and I would forget about it, but then it would eventually come back so I knew I needed a professional opinion as to what was going on. Michelle was amazing! I went in for a consult and after her asking meaningful questions and having me do certain movements while feeling my rib cage, she quickly figured out it was actually a tightness in my spine that was creating strain on my ribs. She gave me 2 exercises to do for 10 days and that discomfort was GONE. I’m still amazed at how quickly she diagnosed, treated and fixed my pain. This woman knows what she’s doing and I recommend her to people whenever I can! My husband also sees her on a regular basis for PT for a long standing back injury he’s had. After years seeing numerous doctors and trying PT without...

Dr. Michelle helped me with pinched nerves in both my legs after my pregnancy. She gave me exercises to help that were appropriate for a new healing Mom! I am so thankful for her treatment!

Dr. Michelle is the best! After 3 months of physical therapy and two shots from a pain clinic, I was worse off than when I started. One session with Dr. Michelle got my pain to manageable, and she gave me a manageable set of home exercises to continue to grow my strength. 100% worth every penny!

Dr Michelle does an amazing job on helping me keep my body moving. I’ve gone to her multiple times for back and knees issues and each time I feel better almost instantly. The fact that she participates in the same sports as the people she treats means she truly understands the aches and pains you’re feeling.

My journey:

Michelle went above and beyond the role of a typical physical therapist, demonstrating genuine concern for my overall well-being by not only treating my immediate arm pain but also actively advocating for further investigation when she suspected something more serious, ultimately guiding me through a complex medical journey involving an MRI, specialist referrals, and even accompanying me to appointments - making her feel like a trusted partner in managing my health rather than just a healthcare provider. Her support during an uncertain time was invaluable, allowing me to navigate the process with confidence and feel truly cared for. I recommend her 100P, you will NOT regret and your body will be thankful for it.

Abide Physical Therapy came to us, to help when we needed it most.

Our 93 year old mother came to visit us, in Arizona from Texas, for 4 weeks during the Holidays. My husband and I wanted to make sure she got a PT session to help alleviate the pain that radiates from her right shoulder to her knee. Dr. Michelle from Abide came to our home and invested over an hour with Momma! She listened to her concerns, answered many questions, and gently addressed the pain. More importantly though, Dr. Michelle left Momma with a sense of agency and confidence in her own well-being! Momma often tells us in the morning and before she goes to bed, “Gotta do the exercises Michelle told me to do!” And then she does them.

We share our story because we know that the unexpected happens to everyone. Needs arise that just can’t wait 2 or 3 weeks. In our situation, our momma needed...

first things first, Dr. Michelle is willing to go above and beyond for her clients. She always has an idea or knows someone who can help and is willing to reach out for things that may pop up while working with her.

I have had quite a puzzling injury involving plevic issues as well as things more geared toward ortho PT. I have seen many people and Dr. Michelle has given me the confidence in knowing she will work with me and do whatever it takes to work with me on my journey to feeling better. She is the missing piece between plevic and orthopedic PT.

Dr. Michelle helped me when no other spine specialists or pain management practices would even remotely try to. I was able to not need reoccurring spinal epidurals and other surgical type treatments that I was previously receiving anymore, but the best part was that the PT techniques that Dr. Michelle taught me were all non-invasive, nor scary and they’ve provided more relief for my injury than any epidural could ever have.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Michelle—she is truly the best physical therapist I’ve ever worked with! After dislocating my shoulder, I came to her for therapy, and the results were immediate. From the very first session, she helped improve my mobility, loosen up my shoulder, and made me feel stronger overall.

Dr. Michelle’s expertise and care made such a difference that I was able to cancel the shoulder surgery I had previously scheduled. She listens carefully to your concerns, provides thoughtful feedback, and even helped me create a personalized gym routine to ease back into working out after my injury.

What sets Dr. Michelle apart is the instant progress you feel after each session. Every time I leave her office, my range of motion is noticeably better. On top of that, her friendly and encouraging demeanor makes every visit a positive...

Michelle helped me rehab my aching shoulder and taught me as she worked. Michelle is very knowledgeable in muscle anatomy and movement. I myself studied exercise and compete in strength sports and having a PT who knows her stuff is extremely important to me. I drove an hour for my appointments with her because she’s THAT GOOD!

I was glad to get some therapy sessions with Dr. Michelle when I could. I should've seen her sooner when I initially had my lower back injury. I took about a month to finally make an appointment to go see her. Not often that your physical therapist also does jiu jitsu at the same academy as you do but it made all the difference because she knows the type of movements and things you need to do to get better.

The dry needling and cupping was probably my favorite part of the therapy. She gave me plenty of good tips to do at home to make a more speedy recovery. Thank you again Dr. Michelle for helping me get back to jiu jitsu sooner.

I don’t know what I did, but MAN did my wrist and arm hurt after an Armlifting competition. I couldn’t even push the start button on my car it hurt so bad. I went to Strongman nationals a few months later and it was still giving me grief…But after months of it not healing on its own, I finally asked Dr Michelle for an appointment, and now that I did I will never wait for anything to heal on its own again! After only 3 treatments she basically made me forget I ever had pain at all! My strength came back immediately and the pain subsided. The dry needling and cupping unbound the muscle and I feel like new again. I have said it to many of my friends, I will NOT wait for any injury to go away on its own again, Dr Michelle will be the first place I call to quickly get back to my normal training habits. It’s really peace of mind knowing that your PT is here to help you get hack to your...

I’d like to thoroughly and completely endorse Dr. Michelle Perry as a fabulous physical therapist. I’ve worked with probably 8-10 physical therapists in my life, a few of them very good. But Dr. Michelle is the best physical therapist I’ve had.

I had severe foot pain from neuropathy (tingling and on the bottom of my feet) and from arthritis (stinging pain from bones I had broken on the top of my left foot a few years earlier). I had tried to soldier on, working with my doctor who prescribed pain pills for both places. In addition I had plantar fasciitis which I’d had for years. It really hurt to walk no matter how hard I tried to fight the pain. I had sort of decided that I would always walk in great pain.

Dr. Michelle’s exercises went far beyond exercises I’d been given before and I could tell I was feeling better. Dr. Michelle is fast, well educated, and...

I have been struggling with a reoccurring injury since 2011. On and off lower back issues since. Last time I tweaked my back I thought things would work themselves out as they always did by 2- 3 weeks but this time the pain was getting worse just by standing at work alone. After 5 months of pain daily and having to pop ibuprofen (which I do not like doing) just to get through my work day, I finally decided it was enough.
I got an mri done and found out I had spinal stenosis and 2 bulging discs. I knew it was time to dig and attempt to fix this issue (not with surgery) holistically. I believe the body is meant to heal itself.

I found Michelle through a referral from
A client and I trust my clients, especially because he is in strong man competitions and I also have been weightlifting for 14 years. Michelle is an athlete as well. I want someone who understands...

Dr. Michelle is amazing! I have struggled with chronic upper back pain and discomfort and have tried multiple chiropractors and physical therapists, but none were able to help long-term. I honestly didn’t even know where to start to relieve my discomfort and feel stronger. Since going to Abide, I feel so much better throughout the day.

The appointments are spent one-on-one with Dr. Michelle. She is empathetic, understanding, and really listens to her patients. I feel better after every visit, and having the guidance on what exercises and steps to take at home has been really helpful. I have noticed a huge difference by consistently doing the at-home exercises. I highly recommend Abide Physical Therapy!

I have EDS, thoracic outlet syndrome, and a ton of comorbilities and injuries. I am in so much pain constantly and had a lot of surgeries with tons of injuries that still require surgery, but I am very adverse now. I know the best thing for EDS is physical therapy; however, I’ve been in PT for about 8 years on and off and always get hurt there, am farmed out to an exercise specialist who has loads of patients and not enough time to watch me, etc. - bottom line, I have not had the best experiences with PT.

My doctor referred me to Dr. Michelle and I could tell she was very different from our initial phone call. I was still reluctant to schedule so I held off for several months because I have fear that I’ll get hurt again.

Well, finally I had a hip preservation surgery scheduled and figured I should really put forth effort with PT and with Dr. Michelle because...

Michelle she’s great in her job she knows what she dose and she suggested me a really good exercises for my back pain .I totally suggest her to everyone need a help ! Thank you again Michelle .

I was dealing with shoulder pain for a while affecting my workouts, sleep and quality of life. I thought I could make it go away myself with stretching and certain exercises but it just kept getting worse. After many months I went and saw Dr. Michelle and she helped me start correcting the issue. She helped me with different movements, stretches and exercises and left me with ones to do myself every day. I quickly started to see improvements with the pain and range of motion and strength! It’s like nigh and day and I’m so glad I went to see Dr. Michelle!

Dr. Michelle is magic!

I’d been dealing with Achilles pain for about a year. Figured it would go away on its own or that it was just the price of aging and jiu jitsu. Of course, it progressed and once the pain was all day, I decided to figure it out. Foot doc sent me to physical therapy and a friend recommended Dr. Michelle. Let me tell you. Immediate relief after the first session. She goes hard.

After a few sessions like that, I knew my niece who is 10 and experiences chronic pain, needed to see her. Dr. Michelle listened as she described her pain, asked questions, and settled in. After the first session, my niece said “my hips better than they have my whole life!” Each session with Dr. Michelle is like that: listening, asking questions, and getting to work. We both continue to improve under Dr. Michelle’s care.

Now I tell everyone to see her....

Dr Michelle is freaking fantastic! I've got multiple issues and she is absolutely genius at intuiting the root of each as well as the best way to treat them, and she's not afraid to pivot when a better treatment option presents itself. I've dealt with EDS-related pain for much of my life, not actually knowing I was dealing with EDS! Once I figured that out, when I began experiencing significant pain and restricted movement in my spine, neck, and shoulder blades, I knew enough to look for a physical therapist who specializes in EDS. I'm SO GLAD I found Dr Michelle! She is amazing. She has helped me make so much progress dealing with my physical instability, and she also helps me understand what I need to do moving forward; Dr Michelle teaches as much as she treats! I have recommended Abide Physical Therapy to several people - some who deal with EDS and some who are just looking for a...

I was having dizziness, anxiety, lightheadedness, headaches and sore neck muscles. I didn’t know what it was. I worked with doctors for about 5 months and even checked into the hospital. After 2 full days in the hospital all the tests and blood work came back normal. The doctors couldn’t find anything wrong and I felt helpless. Finally I called Dr Michelle Perry at Abide. I had worked with her before on other things. She was able to fit me in within a couple of days and went right to work. She found that I had tightness in my neck and spine that was causing the issues. I worked with her to do specific exercises to relieve the tension. After my first visit things were already getting better. After a few visits and following the exercise regiment all my symptoms are nearly gone. I will continue to carry the exercises and teachings I was given to stay healthy the rest of my...

I saw Dr. Michelle when I was pregnant with our third child. I was having severe pain in my pubic bone. After only 3 visits and a few simple homework exercises, the pain was gone!

My favorite thing is how Dr. Michelle approaches treatment. She diagnoses, educates, and gives a solution. In the past, I had seen chiropractors who wanted me to keep coming in 1-2x week for 6-1yr.. Dr. Michelle gives real solutions that work and last due to the education.

Not to mention, she is a beautiful, loving caring woman with a heart for God.

I would highly suggest anyone having pain, discomfort, or just wanting to improve performance see her! She is worth every dollar, and far beyond.

I’ve been doing yoga for years and when I met Dr. Michelle, she could feel my back was tight and I was able to get into a pose so much better after she worked on me.
She truly cares for her patients. It’s obvious that Dr. Michelle is passionate about her work and does her very best to help.
I live out of state and emailed to see if I could get in while in AZ for a visit. She scheduled me right away. I certainly wish all doctors cared for their patients as much as Dr. Michelle.

Working with Dr Michelle was a wonderful experience I was hospitalized from an injury and she made my health a priority. Felt very cared about and not just another source of money. Made sure to get me in for regular appointments and helped my back recovery happen so much faster than if she wasn’t there supporting me and educating me. Very professional while still being compassionate and caring.

I came in after struggling with ankle pain for a few weeks. Dr. Michelle got me in quickly and after just 2 session (and some recommended stretching) I was COMPLETELY pain free!

I'd highly recommend Dr. Michelle to anyone experiencing pain or discomfort, regardless of what you've tried in the past.

She really knows her stuff and is great for conversation during the session!
