Hi, I am Ariel
What my patients think ABOUT ME
I asked my patients and colleagues to define me in a few words to help others understand who I am. These words came up most frequently.
Attentive
Professional
Focused
Motivated
Diligent
Inspirational
Our Core of VALUES
01.
Transparency
I know that when you are in pain, you are more susceptible to manipulation and don't deserve that. That's why I will always be honest with you and provide you with the most accurate information about your condition, along with the prices of my services. I understand that being open and transparent is the only way to be a good professional and establish a trusting connection with my patients.
02.
Education
You have access to much information but cannot always understand how accurate the information is. Part of my duty is to give you suitable evidence-based sources of information so you can learn and understand the hows and whys of your condition, and together, we can make the best decision for you.
03.
Sharing the responsibility
I am the therapist and responsible for leading the treatment, but you have the whole responsibility of your own body. I will bring the best of my skills to treat you, and I expect you to share the responsibility for the success. I have no rights over your body, so I will explain everything we do step by step. You are responsible for asking as much as you want to know to understand any decision taken during the treatment.
04.
Fair prices
I value my time as well as yours. When I am with you, I dedicate myself to your case, and I know that this is valuable. I don't take money in advance, and I don't charge for things that I did not provide.
05.
Confidentiality
I am committed to respecting your confidentiality. You should know that anything you say in the clinic, whether connected to your physical or emotional condition, stays safe and confidential with me. If I want to consult with another professional medical staff about your situation, this will be only with your permission and consent.

Why I chose to specialize in...
A Sports therapist?
Because I wanted to help through a profession that involves healthy movement for non-healthy people, I always saw myself taking people from point A to point B, leading projects, and educating them for a better life. Today, I know I couldn’t choose a better profession for myself.
Why Sports and Dancing?
My connection with music and dance is unique. Although I was never a great athlete or dancer, I have always admired and wanted to support those who love to strive and fight to reach the top. I am a good source of inspiration for amateur athletes and dancers. My knowledge of human behavior and the stage has given me a valuable perspective that I can use as a tool to find the right solutions for people who need my help.
This is my business's VISION
Learn
"When there is nothing left for me to learn, the only thing left will be to die."
It might sound a bit extreme, but I believe in this. I know that I am the best therapist I can be now. However, tomorrow, I will improve with experience and clinical hands-on but also with courses and interactions with other therapists, teachers, and patients. I always learn from everybody.
Educate
"Knowledge is a free resource of the human species. Although I have the qualifications, experience, and therapeutic protocols, I have no right to keep this knowledge to myself."
My patients should learn how to perform better, treat themselves, and prevent the next injury - and MY duty is to make all this affordable during the patient-therapist relationship.
Contribute
"Life on this planet is a constant interaction of giving and receiving, and we humans play an important role in it."
No matter what happens, we must always stay connected to the 'giving' part of our personality. And when I say 'giving,' I don't mean working or helping a friend. Do something for someone you don't know. Volunteer occasionally, one hour each month for a cause you believe in. You don't have to donate money or goods; giving an hour to people or animals is something wonderful that can fill your soul, and sometimes it will be more rewarding than the money you could earn in that hour.
