Ariana Lopez, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
My specialties:
- Physical therapy
Professional interests:
- General orthopedics
- Balance and fall prevention
- Pelvic health
- Dance medicine
- Dry needling
- Pregnancy and postpartum
Practice philosophy: My goal is to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and patient-centered care. I strive to educate patients about their health so they can make informed, empowered decisions about their therapy program. I also aim to motivate patients and help them get back to the activities and roles that are important to them.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I became interested in PT through my own experiences with injuries during my dance career. This inspired me to complete a Bachelor's degree in Dance Science and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
