Abide Physical Therapy

I have been going to Michelle for years now. She has treated my neck, shoulder, and hip issues.
1) I have cervical facet issues, probably because I've had whiplash 3 times in the past, and every once in a while my neck gets painfully stuck. Michelle will do a manipulation to get it unstuck, then tune up my home exercise regimen both for treatment and prevention. This is way better than my experience with chiropractics, because they don't tell you any way to fix it on your own or prevent it.
When my neck problems first started years ago, I had to go a few times in a row so she could teach me all the exercises and make sure I was making progress. Now I just see her for what I call a "tune up" probably about 1-3 times a year whenever I start slacking on my posture or I do something funky that causes my neck to act up again
2) Shoulder: I had frozen shoulder...

I had been having pain in my knee for about 6 months prior to seeing Michelle. It wasn’t terrible at first, and I just assumed it would get better on its own. It didn’t, instead progressively got worse until I couldn’t do my beloved country swing anymore. Michelle had me fixed up in 3 sessions doing a combination of mobility exercises, cupping and dry needling, and just in time for a 2 week trip where a lot of hiking and biking ensued. I can’t recommend her enough!

I have had the chance to work with Dr. Michelle several times over the last few years. After having 3 children in 4 years (and still feeding one of them), my body has been left depleted. Dr. Michelle has an extensive knowledge of the body - including pregnancy and postpartum, and each time I’ve left feeling restored, refreshed, and revived. She is physically strong, friendly, and Uber talented. Added bonus, Dr. Michelle truly cares about helping her patients evolve past their limitations…so, if you are fortunate like me, may not need many treatments to see a total body improvement! Thank you Dr. Michelle for your service and gifts!!

Dr. Michelle at Abide Physical Therapy is the best. I went in for my arm/shoulder that was having some pain and limited mobility. She thoroughly evaluated my arm with multiple tests and then determined a plan of action. She had me practice a couple moves I was to take home and do on my own and she also did cupping and dry needling. It all has greatly reduced my pain and I'm so happy I decided to go to Abide PT. I would highly recommend her.

Michelle is great and gave me some exercises to work on at home. I was amazed at how immediately she knew what was going on in my shoulder, whereas in the past I have done therapies but no one pointed out the exact problem like she did "here, you have a tight muscle in this area". I really like that she tries to help you immediately with the pain or discomfort you have. I love her positive attitude and energy. She is super professional and her skills go above and beyond. I will see you soon Michelle. She has 100% my recommendation!!

January of 2019, I had my second hip replacement. This surgery due not go as well. After 2 rounds of physical therapy and 18 months later, all the specialists, my ortho surgeon sent me to , could not find the source of the #10 pain shooting down the leg of my new hip. I was in such pain, I was back to using a walker for months. But everyone kept telling me to go to PT…again. What could a PT possibly do for me by that time? I thought what could it hurt 🤷‍♀️
I called the same place I had gone to before, requested someone else. I literally said I need some young whipper-snapper , know it all , bossy exert who knew what they were doing. And I sure got her! Michelle literally nailed the issue in 2 minutes! I cried all the way home from such relief, because up till that day , I thought my leg would need to be amputated! I felt such relief and so Blessed to have found her....

Dr. Michelle is so knowledgable and experienced. I say this because I can give her the smallest details about what I’m feeling and she knows exactly how to figure out what it is and what’s causing it. She’s super on top of the follow up and makes sure that our treatment is actually solving our discomfort.

Dr. Michelle is an amazing PT! I came in with chronic neck and upper back pain. I'd gone to other Chiropractors, PTs, and they could not provide long term relief or results. Michelle has gotten me on the pain free path for neck and back and is now treating me for pregnancy pains. If you're seeking a long term solution to your pain, you NEED to come see Dr. Michelle at Abide Physical Therapy! NEVER have I had a PT spend a full hour with me providing direct hands on treatment like Dr. Michelle does. I've been to several of the big corporate PT places in the valley and the therapist will spend maybe 10 mins with me, give me exercises to do on my own and be done with it. It's no wonder I didn't get better. If you want to get to the root of your pain issues, and get to feeling better, come see Dr. Michelle!

Dr.Michelle is amazing! She is so warm and bubbly and she understands the body really well! If you are in pain, Dr.Michelle can help!

Michelle is a great physical therapist and recommend anyone whose going through a personal injury. I had a lingering right ankle injury that started affecting my dancing. I went to her for 3 months to understand, treat, and prevent my ankle issues. I learned so much about my ankle and how other parts of my body were affecting it. I recommend anyone who is seeking professional advice to visit her. You will not regret it.

Thank you, Abide Physical Therapy! I dislocated my toe and was in excruciating pain. Immediately the first person I reached out to was Dr Michelle because of the convenience of doing house calls and is simply someone I trust that is skilled in her field.

I’m fully healed now because of Dr Michelle’s treatment. I highly recommend her for the attentiveness, professionalism, knowledge and my favorite part being able to see me in the comfort of my own home.

Take my word for it and look no further than Abide Physical Therapy 🙌🏽

Abide Physical Therapy is amazing! I have been struggling with a shoulder impingement for a couple of years, and I decided to try cupping. Dr Michelle explained what we would do and how each movement and placement of the cups would help my shoulder. I noticed an immediate relief and increased mobility after the first session.

This was an amazing experience and I highly recommend Abide Physical Therapy.

I have had chronic pain off and on for years, Dr. Michelle's ability to hone in on the problem source and rehabilitate it is second to none. Now I am able to greatly manage my pain and work towards improving my overall health.

I was struggling with an IT band issue, but I had been to a physical therapist before, and it didn't help. However, after seeing Dr. Michelle, I know now what physical therapy should be like! Her assessment is so thorough and she really comes up with a treatment plan that works with you and what will fit into your lifestyle.

Unfortunately my insurance prevented me from working with her long term, but even the short time we spent together helped me see what physical therapy could be like, and I'm never settling for less again! She's amazing.

10/10 recommend working with Dr. Michelle. Initially came to her with chronic shoulder pain that I'd been dealing with for 2+ years. Within the first few sessions I got movement back that was pain free for the first time in over a year. I also appreciated that she took the time to listen and treat any other areas of concern I was dealing with (not all physical therapists will do this without scheduling another appointment). She is awesome to work with and very knowledgeable!

I had some severe hip pain last year and I was referred to Michelle from my close friend who had used Abide Physical Therapy and I am so happy I found Michelle. When I reached out she fit me into her schedule promptly and was very professional and knowledgeable, as well as super caring! I am grateful for her help!

Michelle at Abide took the time to understand my goals and evaluate my shoulder pain. After a few treatments and some targeted exercise I'm back to full workouts with full mobility.

Kind of out of the blue, my right knee started hurting. Eventually, it hurt a lot. I’d been walking an average of 5 miles/day for a couple of years. Sure, at 58, I had some “old lady soreness,” but nothing to speak of; nothing some good stretches and a couple ibuprofen couldn’t fix. But this? This was different. It got to the point where I could barely walk in general, and any mileage was out of the question. Sometimes it hurt when I wasn’t even doing anything! I was convinced that it was time for a knee replacement, but I called my ex-husband, a really great PT, and begged for help. His schedule didn’t permit time to see me, so he recommended Michelle.
I loved that was able to see me quickly, she came to my house, she was reasonably priced, and I could use my HAS. From the minute she walked in, I liked her. NOT that I just want someone I like. I want someone good, no GREAT, but...

Dr. Michelle was wise ,wonderful ,& kind . She was very helpful with some exercises that I can do at home to expedite my recovery. Michelle was quick to respond when I inquired about treatment and the location & the availablity are perfect for my schedule.

I had trouble with my shoulder. I was unable to raise my arm above my shoulder or overhead. Dr Michelle was very thorough testing me. I felt results the first session. She had me try different treatments that really helped me regain my mobility. I’m 70 years old and back to lifting and working out without pain! I highly recommend Dr Michelle!

When I Broke my foot, Dr. Michelle at Abide was one of the first people I called. She has been treating me throughout the healing process and I know the PT treatments have stimulated healing, kept my ankle mobile so that once the bone is healed I’ll be ahead of the game when it comes to getting back full strength, walking and mobility.

Dr. Michelle was great and helped me so much! I had an undiagnosed knee injury (in retrospect, likely a small meniscus tear) that I held off on treating because I thought it wasn’t serious/would go away. It continued to nag and I saw Dr. Michelle and after the first session which included manual therapy it already felt so much better! I continued to see her for consistent manual therapy and exercises to strengthen/activate other muscles around it and it is completely healed. Seeing Dr. Michelle saved me from spending money on an MRI and unnecessary surgery an orthopedist likely would have recommended to me. She is extremely knowledgeable and has great bedside manners.

Michelle is awesome!! I have struggled with ankle damage for years and had so many reoccurring issues. As soon as I started working with Michelle I started seeing huge improvements right away. She is very knowledgeable and I’m so thankful for the great work she does. 100% would recommend Michelle.

Michelle is the best!! When I fractured my tibia she was there to treat and strengthen my leg/knee and get my leg back to full recovery. Her knowledge, skill, professionalism, warmth and humor are what make her one of the best physical therapist around. I’m so grateful for all she’s done for me. I highly recommend Dr. Michelle!

Dr. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable and I’m always impressed how when I’m injured (ALWAYS!!!) she can immediately get to the root cause and get me back on the grappling mats almost immediately. Without Michelle I would be old, inactive and miserable. Now that I have her I’m old, active and happy. Thank you Dr. Michelle!!! 💪🏼

Michelle is very knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind when it comes to your specific PT needs. She helped me with subsiding the sciatic pain I’ve had for over a year and a half. She is very professional, helps you feel comfortable while treating, and is serious about helping you get better and staying that way!

Michelle is incredible at what she does. She is very detailed and takes your entire body into consideration in how it is moving to determine why you are having the pain that you are. Her passion for Physical Therapy is contagious and she genuinely does not want to see you in pain or discomfort and will treat you back to health. Michelle treated me while I was training for a few races that continued to get cancelled due to the pandemic. One training cycle turned into three before I was able to run my race. Michelle kept me healthy! She would look at my body and how it moved to increase my performance, she would stretch, scrape, and dry needle the areas that needed it, and she would always be spot on. She cares deeply for her patients and it shows. I would recommend Michelle to anyone! She is extremely knowledgeable and it’s evident in all she does!

Michelle is an outstanding physical therapist and is very knowledgeable about the work she does. Throughout my sessions with her, she not only fixed my mobility issues, but also educated me on what exactly she was doing and why. She takes the time to teach you how to improve not only the problem you are dealing with, but also prevent future problems. She is honest, thorough, and skilled. I would highly recommend her!
