What is integrative physical therapy?
Integrative physical therapy builds on the foundations of traditional physical therapy and evidence-based care, while offering additional support for complex, chronic, and whole-person needs.
This approach is especially helpful for people with chronic pain, pelvic floor concerns, pregnancy and postpartum changes, hypermobility/EDS, or anyone who has felt dismissed, rushed, or misunderstood in healthcare settings.
You’re in the Right Place If…
You’re in the right place if traditional healthcare hasn’t fully seen you, or your experience.
You have pelvic floor concerns like bladder or bowel issues, painful sex, or prolapse.
You’re navigating an injury or persistent pain from an active lifestyle.
You’re pregnant or postpartum and seeking support beyond “just do kegels”.
You experience chronic pain or symptoms that don’t follow a simple pattern.
You’re hypermobile or have EDS and are looking care for personalized care.
You want care that respects the connection between stress, trauma, and your health.

Hi, I’m Ariana, founder of Arlo Physical Therapy & Wellness. Arlo was created to serve people seeking thoughtful, integrative, and trauma-informed care beyond the limits of traditional physical therapy.
As a BIPOC woman living with chronic illness, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find care that feels both effective and supportive. My approach blends skilled hands-on treatment with whole-person care to address root causes, not just symptoms.
Arlo Physical Therapy & Wellness is located in NE Minneapolis and proudly serves the Twin Cities and surrounding areas: Saint Paul, Richfield, Edina, Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Saint Anthony, New Brighton, Fridley, Eagan, and beyond!

My Services

60-75-minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, in-person or virtual. I work with people of all genders using a whole body approach to find the source of your dysfunction whether it's pelvic pain, an orthopedic injury, birth preparation, postpartum recovery, or any other therapy concerns.

Dry needling is a targeted technique used to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Thin, sterile needles are inserted into trigger points or tight bands of muscle. As a result you will experience decreased pain and improved muscle function.
-
Myofascial cupping is a technique that uses suction cups to lift and separate the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. This helps relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.
-
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on alternative therapy that aims to enhance the body's natural healing abilities by working with the craniosacral system to release tension and reduce pain.

What people are saying about their care:
-
Monica D.
“Ariana is extremely knowledgeable in the field of women's pelvic health and physical therapy. Often an overlooked topic by many PT's. She provides a welcoming space for her patients, provides plenty of resources and education and explains what she is doing in layman's terms. I highly recommend her services.”
-
Naomi L.
“Received amazing treatment from Ariana! I'm a student and developed lower back pain as a result of sitting long hours. The RELIEF I felt after a session with Ariana was incredible. She's dedicated and will provide highly customized treatment".”
-
Dani M.
“After being treated like a 90-year-old and not the mid 30-year-old strong woman I am, I took matters into my own hands and worked with a different physical therapist who took what I was already doing and applied what will actually work to treat my low back pain. No cookie cutter exercise selection from this physical therapist, Ariana treated everything and more.”

Melissa S.
“I hope this post helps to push someone over the edge to making their first appointment! Ariana helped me to find answers to my issues that I have been searching long and hard for. She understood and delivered kindly. I highly recommend Ariana for anyone looking for physical therapy assistance.”
