Hi, I’m Dr. Arianna Wendlandt!
I first started on my path towards becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy in high school where
my passion grew out of involvement in multiple sports with a few of my own injuries. I’ve
always considered myself a bit of a science nerd and that trait truly exposed itself during
anatomy, physiology, and exercise science courses in school, setting me up perfectly for my DPT
training.
Over the years, I have battled personal health challenges that have opened my eyes to the
diverse world of healing that I believe encompasses a holistic approach to help restore optimal
physical, mental, and emotional functioning.
In my personal practice, I find that it is essential to meet each person where they are at,
treating the WHOLE individual, and working as a team (you, me, and any other necessary
providers) to best reach your goals whether that be bettering your quality of life or returning to
peak athletic performance. Above all, my goal is to EMPOWER my patients by giving them the
confidence to take ownership over their health journey and teach them preventative strategies
to maintain a full and active life.
A large piece of the healing journey is movement! Our bodies are made to move which can be
interrupted by injury, pain, chronic illness, or past traumas. One of my favorite tools to address
many of the lasting symptoms from such experiences is dry needling. This tool can help
interrupt acute or chronic pain patterns, opening a window of opportunity to retrain the
neuromuscular system for enhanced movement and return to normal functioning. Whether
addressing chronic low back pain or working to improve squatting mechanics, dry needling can
be useful for you.
When not in the clinic, you can find me riding many of the local mountain bike trails or
searching for fresh snow while backcountry snowboarding. I love working with people that
enjoy some of the many recreational activities that Colorado has to offer. Let’s work together
to keep you actively participating in the things you love.
