ORTHOPEDIC & NEUROLOGICAL PHYSICAL THERAPY
Individualized Physical Therapy Services.
My philosophy is to encourage and empower individuals to relate to their bodies and environment in fundamentally new, powerful ways. Physical therapy for all pain and issues related to the body.
PELVIC FLOOR ISSUES/INCONTINENCE
State of the art Real-Time Ultrasound and other proven Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy techniques empower you to combat common pelvic floor dysfunctions such as pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and more.
LYMPHEDEMA
Lymphedema is a specific type of swelling that occurs when the Lymphatic system is impaired either to a defect you were born with or from surgery (usually from Cancer surgery to remove lymph nodes). Lymphedema is not curable, but if caught early, can be managed. Even in later stages, Physical Therapy can help.

Mastering Menopause & Harnessing Hormones
MENOPAUSE-PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS
Menopause brings a slew of physical changes that can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. These may include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness. Physical symptoms of muscle weakness, bone loss, joint aches and pains, tendonitis and even changes in libido. Managing these symptoms can be challenging and may require a combination of lifestyle adjustments, medical interventions, and holistic approaches.
EMOTIONAL CHANGES
Menopause isn't just about physical changes; it also affects a woman's emotional well-being. Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression are common during this time. Hormonal fluctuations, coupled with life transitions and societal expectations, can exacerbate these emotional challenges, making it crucial for women to receive adequate support and understanding.
BONE HEALTH & CARDIOVASCULAR RISKS
Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and cardiovascular health. As estrogen levels decline during menopause, women become more susceptible to osteoporosis and heart disease. Addressing these risks requires proactive measures such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and possibly hormone replacement therapy (HRT), under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
Abigail Abbott- BA, MSPT, CLT
I'm Abigail Abbott, and I've been on a mission to empower women through physical therapy for over 25 years. My inquisitive nature drives me to relentlessly seek solutions for my patients, helping them reduce pain and reclaim their quality of life.
San Miguel de Allende has been my sanctuary since 1976, where I began my journey as a solo Physical Therapist. Growing up attending Escuela Bilingue and caring for my father until his passing in 2015, I've deepened my roots in this vibrant community.
My expertise lies in women's health, particularly in treating pelvic floor dysfunction. Through continuous training with the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, I've developed specialized techniques like Real Time Ultrasound to provide targeted treatment for issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, and organ prolapse.
But I don't stop there. I also offer comprehensive care in orthopedic and neurological physical therapy, as well as addressing lymphedema-related concerns.
As women's health needs evolve, so does my practice. That's why I've established the Menomoxie Collective discussion group, where I educate and empower women through peri-menopause and menopause.
I'm more than just a physical therapist; I'm a partner on your journey to wellness. Together, let's uncover your path to a healthier, more vibrant life. I can't wait to work with you!
