Wellilo Physical Therapy & Yoga with Dr. Ariele Foster

"I began working with Dr. Foster after suffering a severe herniated disc that left me with constant pain, numbness in my foot, and noticeable weakness in my calf. My gait had changed and daily activities were difficult. From my very first session, she not only helped address the physical symptoms but also taught me what was happening in my body and how to move in ways that managed and reduced my pain. Her approach was incredibly comprehensive. The combination of targeted exercises, hands-on manual therapy, and dry needling made a difference every single visit. I consistently left her office feeling better than when I walked in, and week after week I saw steady improvements in strength, mobility, and confidence. What stood out most was her ability to balance expertise with support. Each day she listened carefully to my current status and picked one issue to target- making remarkable difference in just one session and cumulatively over our time together. She explained everything clearly, teach me how unexpected body parts were connected to the issue of the day, and celebrated each milestone along the way. I'm convinced that her skill and guidance were key reasons I was able to avoid surgery and return to normal movement. I am deeply grateful for the care I received and recommend Dr. Foster without hesitation to anyone dealing with pain, injury, or recovery. She made an enormous difference in my life."

"Dr. Ariele is so lovely to work with. She has a calm, considerate, patient centered bedside manner. I've really enjoyed working with her to build strength after a broken arm and hip and neck pain. She explains the treatment plan in a way I can understand. She also provides thorough notes so I'm not having to remember everything during the sessions on my own. That's been helpful to reinforce compliance with the exercises and seeing results week by week. I highly recommend her services!"

"Dr Ariele is a wonderful PT, and mixes our sessions with a really helpful combination of hands on treatment and education. She provides extensive notes, and tailors her treatment plans to your needs and lifestyle. I love her approach and outlook to PT, and she's so kind and communicative. Couldn't recommend her enough!"

"Ariel was a great PT with a very thorough diagnostic process which made me feel assured that we were targeting the right problem. She is thoughtful in her analysis of your pain and functioning and pays attention the details."

"I came to Dr. Foster with chronic pain in my left foot (arch, toe, top of foot). After a thorough discussion about my pain and habits, and some practical exercises - I already felt some relief. I've been doing her suggested exercises for about two weeks and am already seeing a difference in mobility. I highly recommend Dr. Foster because I felt that she really listened to me and was able to explain clearly what was likely causing my pain, and how the exercises would help."

"Ariele is a wonderfully patient and intuitive physical therapist. As opposed to most rehab centers, Ariele takes only one person at a time in an intimate space with no distractions, so she can give you her full attention through the whole session. While I came in with a foot issue, she was able to diagnose significant problems with my posture all the way up my spine that was affecting how I walk, which no other PT has noticed. It was a very collaborative experience working with her as I found she listened well to my opinions and found ways to incorporate those into my treatment plan. Highly recommended Ariele and Wellilo for individualized physical therapy!"

"I'm fortunate to have worked with Ariele virtually and in-person for over ten years on various aches and pains (hip, back, shoulder, heel, etc.). Her advice and treatment is ALWAYS helpful! Ariele is a natural teacher who is continually learning the best strategies and techniques, shares her extensive knowledge base with her clients, and is truly passionate about PT. I love the detailed notes that she sends after our PT sessions and have saved all of them over the years in a 3-ring binder! :) I find myself going back to them to remember exercises she taught me. I also took a series of functional movement group classes with Ariele that helped a lot with flexibility, strength, and toning. Anyone who works with Ariele is working with the best of the best! You'll keep going back for more!"

"Ariele is unlike any other physical therapist I've been to. She is extremely knowledgable, intuitive and pays close attention to detail. I came to her after a tough case of lower back pain and sciatica, and I already feel significantly better in just five visits. I've also found her needling to be very helpful. After every visit, she sends detailed notes to her patients summarizing the visit and sharing tips and reminders. She goes the extra mile for her patients. Very thankful for Ariele."
