Dr. McAbee has worked with a wide variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions impacting patients of all age ranges. He strives to combine an evidence based approach with the patient’s beliefs and perspectives about their condition to create an individualized plan of care for each patient he works with.

Dr. McAbee is an avid runner and cyclist, actively participating in local running groups and races throughout the Southeast Region. He has been able to work with individuals dealing with an injury return to running and cycling, creating individualized treatment plans to help them return to endurance training and competition.

Dr. McAbee is preparing for his Orthopedic Physical Therapy certification in the coming years.

Dr. McAbee is from Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he attended James F. Byrnes high school and participated in football and strength and conditioning training. Over the years, he has spent much of his time outside of the clinic running, cycling, weight training, and playing a wide variety of sports, especially golfing!
