ARIEL
CO-FOUNDER & LEAD PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Dr. Ariel Edwards is an orthopedic and pelvic floor Doctor of Physical Therapy, as well as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. She graduated from Northeastern University in 2016 and has been practicing in the outpatient orthopedic setting ever since. Ariel has completed advanced pelvic floor training through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, allowing her to provide specialized care for women during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Her treatment approach blends her background in physical therapy with her passion for strength training. In pelvic floor PT, she works with women to build strength, improve movement, and restore confidence—whether that’s returning to the gym, running without symptoms, or simply feeling better in their body day to day. When she's not at the clinic you can find her spending time with her husband and 1 year old daughter!
