Athena Wellness and Physical Therapy

"Sara Acheson is worth her weight in gold! After chemotherapy, several surgeries, and radiation, my body was worn out. I had massive swelling at the surgical site, limited mobility, and weakness, which I thought was going to be part of my "new normal" after Breast Cancer. Following my initial meeting with Sara, I felt so much better in my body. After a few weeks of meeting with Sara, the swelling and pain had gone. My range of motion and strength had been restored. I am so grateful for Sara and Athena Wellness!"

"This is the second time I've seen Stephanie for pelvic floor PT in two years. She supported me through post partum recovery for my first child and now late stage prenatal pelvic floor work to help me have a healthy delivery of my second. Stephanie is SO knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I have been to PTs for sports injuries and rehab, but nothing prepares you for how different pelvic floor symptoms and issues will be and feel. Stephanie creates a comfortable and open space to discuss all issues and concerns, she has a wealth of knowledge and research that she uses regularly, and she remembers details about treatment even years later. She always offers explanations and talks you through what she is seeing and understanding, which is so helpful when pelvic floor issues can feel so mystifying and out of our control. She offers a range of treatment, from massage and dry needling to cupping and exercises. Stephanie has been integral to helping me progress through pregnancy and post partum and I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Stephanie at Athena Wellness was amazing. She did a thorough, whole-body assessment and quickly identified issues that were contributing to my pelvic floor issues--including ankle instability, calf tightness, plantar fasciitis, and lack of strength in my transverse abdominals, which I never would have connected on my own. Her knowledge is impressive, and her holistic approach helped me see results within 8 weeks and has set me up for future strength and success. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for thoughtful, expert pelvic floor therapy that looks at the body as a whole."

"Stephanie is a phenomenal PT. I went to see her for an ongoing shoulder problem and have had more relief in a few sessions than I have in the past year with other therapists. I appreciate her wholistic approach. I also appreciate the easy and reasonable number of home exercises! I would recommend Stephanie to any woman in need of physical therapy."

"I highly recommend Dr Sarah for her quality service. I am benefiting one to one service every time I go for therapy. She prepares different activities that I can benefit from for. It is helping me to build my bone density and to regain my strength and reshape my body. She greets me from the front door, she is very respectful, responsible and caring person. I have known Dr Sarah since 2021. That is why I chose to be treated by her. Even though it is further from my area. It worth visiting her."

"Stephanie was a wonderful therapist who helped me in my postpartum months. She helped guide me through rehabilitating my core so I can feel safe beginning traditional exercises again. I appreciate her help and expertise and would recommend her to anyone seeking pelvic and postpartum therapy!"

"I've been seeing Stephanie at Athena Wellness, and she's absolutely wonderful. I first came to her for back and hip pain, and after a couple of months I've noticed a big difference. She's not just great with pelvic floor care -- she really understands overall pain and how everything connects. Stephanie is so easy to talk to and really listens, which has made such a big difference for me. She treats the whole person, not just the symptoms, and even helps me think about what to bring up with my doctor. I also love that the home exercises she gives are simple and doable -- not a long list I'll never touch, but a few focused ones that actually help and fit into real life. I haven't met Sara yet, but it's clear she and Stephanie have created something special at Athena Wellness. If you're dealing with pain or pelvic floor issues, I can't recommend them enough!"

"Sara was so kind and knowledgable. I had no idea my surgery would be so difficult or the kinds of decisions I had to make would be so hard. I wish I had seen her before I made some of my decisions. I am very glad I found her. She is very kind and an excellent resource, and I look forward to working with her to aid in my breast cancer recovery and the choices I need to make going forward. :)"
