PhysioStrength Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health

I really enjoyed working with Abby at PhysioStrength. I began seeing her at around 5 months pregnant with my 2nd baby. My first was a C-section so I wanted to do all the things that would help me have a VBAC this time around. Upon my first visit with her I told her about me and how I had lost baby girl #1 just a few months back. Abby immediately acknowledged my pain and gave me a hug. She noticed my necklace (which had her name on it) & commented on it. I felt seen and my heart was warmed by her acknowledgment of my baby who is no longer with me. That in itself made me love Abby since the day I met her & of course, she was also great as a PT. She helped me with stretches & exercises to relieve my symptoms and prepare for a vaginal delivery. Happy to report that I indeed was able to bring my 2nd daughter into this world vaginally and I had only such a tiny tear that didn’t need any stitches and healed up nicely on its own. I went back to see her several months postpartum for help with getting active again, strengthening my core, and relieving some pain. I’ve now “graduated” from PT with a handful of exercises to work on throughout the week. My body feels good, stronger and I feel empowered to keep going further into my health and fitness goals. Thank you Abby for being such a great help & for your heart. I will definitely recommend this place and especially working with Abby.

Dr. Walter and Dr. Hoang are always so kind and knowledgeable. They reassure my anxious questions with plenty of calm explanations and therapies appropriate to my needs. It would have been so useful to be taught these exercises in health class at school. I am so grateful to have found PhysioStrength and to all the staff there!

Dr. Abby and the PhysioStrength team has been integral to my postpartum recovery. I felt extremely comfortable asking any/all questions and in safe hands during this monumental time in my life. The space is calm, clean, and supportive - I even brought my little one with me to appointments, and felt extremely comfortable to receive care while having baby with me.I love the online scheduling feature, and the clear and open communication from the entire team.10/10 recommend!

Bernadine and the team at PhysioStrength in downtown Tacoma have been the most amazing team to work with and I’m so excited to continue to work on gaining my strength back postpartum! Bernadine has so much knowledge in this area and I would recommend her to any postpartum mommas

Dr Abby came highly recommended from my midwife when I started having pelvic floor issues in my second trimester of pregnancy. Ive worked with two other pelvic floor PTs in the past - Dr Abby is the best of the best when it comes to her knowledge of womens health issues and her approachability to all things pelvic health. In pregnancy we worked on pelvic floor coordination and overall strengthening and preparation for birth. I stayed active and had very few aches and pains during pregnancy because of the strengthening work we did. My midwife accredited my minor tears and quick recovery to the work I did with Abby in the months leading up to giving birth. After having my daughter, Im back working with Abby to recover and getting stronger every day! The new clinic has a great atmosphere, there are so few dedicated pelvic health PT locations in Tacoma so its a great asset to our community. Im recommending Dr Abby and PhysioStrength to all my friends and family who are pregnant and those who need pelvic PT services, and I will definitely return for any future pregnancies I have. Dont hesitate to reach out and make an appointment!

My wife and I went to see Abby after we had our babies and we could not be more happy that we did. Pelvic floor Pt should be mandatory for women especially after having babies. She helped me after my C-section and my wife after her vaginal birth. She is very knowledgeable and got us both back to feeling a little more like ourselves. Could not recommend them more.

Seeing Abby throughout my pregnancy and currently during my postpartum recovery has been so crucial for me. During pregnancy she developed a fitness plan tailored to my specific needs and concerns. Her guidance gave me the confidence to continue my strength training and active lifestyle throughout my pregnancy, which I know helped contribute to a smooth birth and postpartum recovery as well. We’re currently working on a postpartum fitness plan that will allow me to return to running without compromising my pelvic floor or injuring myself. I’ve loved coming to the beautiful downtown location and bringing my baby along with me for appointments.I cannot recommend her enough! She is not only very professional and extremely skilled at her craft, but also incredibly compassionate and genuine. Seeing her has boosted my physical fitness and mental well being.

Love this place! Abby is fantastic and helped me both during pregnancy and postpartum. She’s a great listener and gave me practical tools and workouts to help me achieve my goals. I always leave feeling encouraged and well cared for. Pelvic health was a sensitive topic for me initially, and Abby is graceful and never made me feel uncomfortable. Highly recommend.

Ive been going to PhysioStrength to work with Abby both during my pregnancy and postpartum period, and thanks to the work weve done, my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum healing has been so much better! My body felt really prepared for my delivery and my body postpartum has felt stronger than I expected since I kept up with her exercises prior to giving birth. Highly recommend going here for pregnancy/postpartum support! She really knows her stuff!

I’m currently seeing Dr. Abby for my postpartum recovery and I cannot recommend her enough. She makes you feel so comfort and welcome, which is what you need during this time of change. Her knowledge and expertise is outstanding. Pelvic floor therapy can seem daunting but she makes it fun and exciting. I also saw Dr. Abby for a previous back injury and she completely healed me better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Abby and this cute clinic downtown!

Dr. Bernadine is so very kind, caring and compassionate. I appreciate how she takes time and really listens to me. She’s very encouraging and I’m finding the exercise program she has me on is really helping.

Abby Walter greatly helped speed my recovery postpartum. I have a deeper understanding for the proper way to take care of my core. I think every postpartum mom deserves the amazing care Abby provides!

I have been seeing Dr. Abby Walter for the past several months for knee and ankle pain as well as nerve issues impacting my hand/arm. She is very warm, knowledgeable, and clear in her instructions/recommendations for recovery. I have been improving and I trust her. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.

Dr. Abby has been amazing in my postpartum recovery. I have learned a lot and have been provided with lots of tools and cues to return to fitness.

Inviting and clean space that is welcoming! Abby is very knowledgeable, communicates clearly and explains everything in detail for full understanding of support needs! Highly recommend!

De. Abby is amazing! Highly recommend
