Abbey Blake, P.T., D.P.T.

I am honored to provide care to patients in the Eau Claire area who have physical challenges that may limit the ability to engage fully in the things they most enjoy. Movement is incredibly important to our daily lives, and optimizing movement patterns can make an incredible difference in the lives of my patients. I find it incredibly rewarding when patients are now able to do what they were not able to do before, due to physical limitations, whether it be something simple or complex.

I have a wide variety of hobbies that I enjoy. First and foremost, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We love to spend time in the outdoors doing things like hiking, camping, walking, biking, etc. I also have many hobbies that I enjoy, such as writing, knitting, crocheting, sewing and drawing. I have always had the desire to become a good cook — I am hoping to become a great cook someday!
