Pelvic Health Physical Therapist

Hi, I'm Ariel.

I'm a physical therapist with more than 20 years of experience. My background includes orthopedic rehabilitation and working as a Pilates instructor before focusing on pelvic health. Over the years, I've continued to build on that experience through further education and training, including graduating with honors from Arcadia University. That combination of experience and education shapes how I work today, looking at how the whole body moves and functions rather than focusing only on individual symptoms.

My interest in pelvic health is personal, too. After three pregnancies, including two C-sections and a VBAC, I experienced my own challenges with recovery. Physical therapy made a real difference for me, and being on the patient side of treatment helped me appreciate how important it is to feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care.

I believe good treatment starts with listening. I take time to understand each person's concerns and goals, explain what we're working on, and develop an approach that makes sense for their life. I combine hands-on treatment, movement, and education with practical strategies patients can use on their own. Providing care at home allows me to connect that work to the routines and activities that matter most to each person.
