I sought out Dr.Ariana for dry needling my two year old C-section shelf and weekend availability for my schedule. I saw significant improvement in my scar’s stiffness and adhesions after several sessions of dry needling directly over the scar and surrounding areas. I appreciated the hands on abdominal work she would do during sessions and exercises tailored to my chronic pain body’s needs. For pelvic floor she offered both internal and/or external functional exams. Everyone should see a physical therapist perinatally and Ariana is an amazing resource for this speciality!
I see Ariana bi-weekly for physical therapy to help me recover from and prevent injuries related to aerial arts. As an aerialist, I’m constantly putting my body under unique strain, and Ariana has been incredible at helping me manage muscle imbalances and calm overactive muscles. Her knowledge, care, and personalized approach make a huge difference in my performance and recovery. As a certified personal trainer, I recommend all my clients—whether they’re dancers, athletes, or just dealing with everyday aches and pains—to see her. She’s truly one of the best!
I truly can’t say enough good things about Ariana at Arlo. I’ve been working with her for the past year, and the improvement in my pain levels, movement, and overall function has been remarkable. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and POTS, and Ariana has extensive experience working with patients who have both. That experience is evident in every session. When I first came in, I was struggling significantly with walking and daily movement due to chronic pain and joint instability. Ariana immediately understood what was going on and approached my care with knowledge, patience, and precision. Her hands-on bodywork — cupping, dry needling, and massage — releases pain and tension in a way that actually lasts. She then carefully tailors exercises to reinforce that work, always adjusting based on how my body is feeling and what it can tolerate, especially with POTS. She truly treats the whole person, not just a single issue. Ariana is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and validating. Thanks to her, I move better, hurt less, and feel far more confident in my body. If you have EDS, POTS, chronic pain, or complex physical issues, I cannot recommend Ariana and Arlo highly enough.
Ariana relieved so much of my back pain after a dry needling session! I'm a grad student and sit for long hours at my desk. Ariana was very empathetic and listened to all of my concerns. I was feeling better and getting back to work soon after our session.
As a PT myself, I love going to see Ariana for dry needling. She needles all the spots I feel could use it and does a great job. I always leave feeling better in the following week.
