Rooted Physio and Performance

Ariel has been a godsend. She is compassionate, kind, extremely knowledgeable and takes her time to facilitate care. 10/10 PT. Love working with her!

Working with Dr. Ariel was the best investment I made in myself during my pregnancy and postpartum journey! I scheduled an appointment with the hopes of staying active, safely, during my pregnancy but what I gained from working with Dr. Ariel was so much more than that! She took a holistic approach to our sessions by regularly checking in and offering advice on my diet, exercise, and mental health. My experience with my OB/GYN during pregnancy was very reactive - if I had a question, they would answer it but they wouldn’t go into any detail about what to expect next. My experience with Dr. Ariel was the opposite - her approach is extremely proactive. She would spend time during our sessions describing things that I may experience next so that I was prepared. Also, my OB/GYN would tell me my discomfort during pregnancy was “‘common” and I just needed to wait until I delivered to feel better - so frustrating! Dr. Ariel always took my discomfort seriously and aided in making a plan for movement/supplements to help. I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension during pregnancy and was left with more questions than answers from my OB/GYN. Dr. Ariel taught me how to properly take and record my blood pressure and reviewed my pressures at every appointment to ensure it was staying under control. I have no doubt that her guidance helped me flag to my doctors when my blood pressure got to a concerning level (eventually leading to preeclampsia). Lastly, her support postpartum meant the world to me. Even though she had a baby herself the week before, she took time to check in on me and ensure I was taking appropriate comfort measures after my C-section. She helped me return to exercise safely and at 7 months postpartum, I am not experiencing any pelvic floor issues. I truly cannot say enough good things about working with Dr. Ariel. If you are on the fence about booking a session - just do it!! Not only is she extremely good at what she does, she is one of the kindest and most caring humans I’ve ever met. Thank you, Dr. Ariel!!

Dr. Ariel has been nothing but amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable about pelvic floor but also how it relates to our body as a whole and how being hypermobile can impact this as well. She does an amazing job of ensuring that the exercises she provides me with are functional, practical and meaningful for me and my lifestyle. I highly highly recommend her!
