What Our Patients Say
Matt
I joined my wife for her pelvic floor therapy session. Dr Bartz was amazing. She was very professional, a good listener and great at breaking things down in an understandable way. My wife felt very comfortable with her and we both feel more equipped for the upcoming birth.

Amber was recommended to me while preparing for a VBAC. Our initial consultation revealed that my muscles had trouble relaxing, and a lot of work was needed if I wanted a natural birth. Amber was very encouraging every step of the way and only recommended the necessary amount of classes as I was paying out of pocket. I felt very comfortable with her because she really feels like a friend the entire way through.
Amber coached me through pushing to make sure I would be able to push correctly and checked to see which position my body would do best for labor.
Through following the stretches and exercise exercises she taught, as well as her coaching on pushing, I was able to have a VBAC!! I attribute this all to her! My only regret was that I didn’t know how beneficial this was for my first birth, and I did not reach out to her then..
Amber, you have been such a blessing to my birth story and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be your client.

Dr. Amber is absolutely phenomenal. I first saw her to address shoulder inflammation, and was impressed with her grounded, knowledgable way of working with me as a newly postpartum mom with excruciating back and shoulder pain while breastfeeding. I then began to see her during my pregnancy with my second child. I was worried about prolapse and a bad tear from my first pregnancy. She gave me exercises to prepare for birth that helped me have an amazing second birth, without tearing. I felt like I could trust her entirely, and her PT knowledge helped me reconnect with myself. Now, newly postpartum, I'm working with her on addressing prolapse and core strengthening. To anyone who has felt a sense of despair related to their pelvic floor, I could not recommend Dr. Amber enough. She shares hope, and pairs the emotional comfort with specific exercises that help me feel capable of transforming my relationship with my pelvic floor. Thank you!

So happy I found Amber for pelvic PT after having a baby. What a difference it made in my recovery! Amber is super knowledgeable and she personalized each session to what I needed. I noticed such a difference each appointment. Plus she’s very kind and comfortable to work with. Definitely recommend anyone who is pregnant or postpartum to visit Amber!

I am so grateful to have found Catalyst Physical Therapy and Amber! She helped me prepare for surgery for a total hip replacement and has taken me through my post surgery recovery and strengthening. She has been an amazing resource and is so knowledgeable about what my body is going through but she listens so genuinely about the journey I am on as I regain my activity level. In physical therapy the patient has to be committed to do the work but having such an insightful and knowledgeable therapist like Amber has truly been the key to my positive experience and healing progress.

Amber is very knowledgable, kind, and gentle. She helped me with issues that were affecting my quality of life and were shrugged off by other providers for years since the birth of my child. Her approach was very customized to my individual needs and physical capabilities, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Catalyst PT

I have been to several physical therapists (PTs) in Tucson AZ, and Amber has been outstanding by far. Not only does she provide quality care, but offers resources on her website which have greatly helped my continued recovery and pain management. She’s helped with pelvic floor, feet and back issues - but moreover has provided guidance to navigate me through several diagnoses - not just exercises. I especially appreciate her dedicated time (1hr one on one) and the advice from a different perspective. I’ve always been impressed that she remembers where we left off from last session and other details specific to me with her workload. She truly cares, going above and beyond to provide service for her patients. Amber’s experience, expertise & demeanor are second to none. I highly recommend her!

If you need PT stop looking and go see Amber. I’d give 10 stars if Google allowed. I have been going to PT on and off for about the last 8 years for reoccurring shoulder pain. And now adding in periodic back pain. Amber was the first PT to really thoroughly evaluate me and identify some potential root causes and not just treat surface level issues. Her knowledge, methodical thorough process, diagnosis, and treatment plan have been fantastic and help me reduce shoulder issues and completely alleviate my back pain. Over my 8 year journey I have probably seen over 10 PTs Amber ranks #1 by a long shot.
