What our patients are saying…

  • “I have seen a lot of different physical therapists over the years and I can truly say that Dr. Abbie Laycock is the BEST I have come across! Not only is she kind, but she is super knowledgeable in every area. I finally feel like my issues(and I have many) are healing and not simply getting temporary relief. I have had so much success with her that I now have my 26 yr old daughter seeing her as well. We are very thankful for Dr. Abbie!”

  • “Dr. Abbie was such a blessing to me postpartum! I went to her with pelvic floor weakness and tension, back pain from my epidural, and a diaphragm in spasm. After several sessions I felt like a new person. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly desires to see her patients heal to attain a better quality of life. I highly recommend her services to women, especially in the postpartum period.”

  • “The best PT I have ever seen. I originally found Dr. Laycock to help prepare for my delivery while I was pregnant. And she ended up helping me with lower back, hip and knee pain I’ve been struggling with for over a decade. She has genuinely changed my life. Thank God for you!!!”

  • "She strikes the perfect balance of being both professional and incredibly warm and friendly."

  • "Working with her decreased pain during pregnancy, increased my knowledge of how to workout correctly, and facilitated a smoother recovery postpartum."

  • "Dr. Abbie is hands down the best PT. She has the perfect touch to release pressure points."
