You deserve a physical therapist that cares.

I’m Ariana, your new physical therapist and partner on this journey to recovery. My mission is to help individuals of all stages of life find their inner strength and move freely without pain or dysfunction. I provide trauma-informed, body-positive physical therapy in the Twin Cities area. My specialties include orthopedic and pelvic floor rehabilitation.

Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, struggling with bladder leakage, or seeking to improve your overall physical performance after having a baby, I’m here to support your goals and help your body work for you.

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.”

With a deep passion for trauma-informed care, I created Arlo with the overarching goal of reimagining the traditional physical therapy clinical model to create a more supportive and empowering environment for all clients.

My Services

Arlo Physical Therapy & Wellness is completely out-of-network with insurance. This means no biased treatment based on insurance reimbursement, no high deductibles or copays, and direct access to a Doctor of Physical Therapy without a referral.

  • 60-minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy in a private office. I work with people of all genders using a whole body approach to find the source of your dysfunction whether it's pelvic pain, urinary leakage, bowel dysfunction, orthopedic pain, pregnancy discomfort, postpartum recovery, gender affirming care or any other therapy concerns.

  • Do you have a stubborn trigger point or tight muscle causing pain that will not go away, even with massage or stretching?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Do you have TMJ dysfunction, teeth grinding, chronic neck pain, facial congestion, or a dysregulated nervous system?

    Buccal massage is soft tissue work done on the head, neck, and face + inside of the mouth to improve fascial mobility.
