Ariel Petite-Armstrong, PTA

Ariel was born in East Moline, Illinois, and grew up in the Quad Cities area before moving to the Tidewater region of Virginia, where she completed high school and attended college. She earned her Associate of Physical Therapy degree in 2022 from ECPI in Newport News, Virginia. During her clinical rotations, Ariel worked with patients recovering from hip and knee replacements, low back pain, and motor vehicle accident injuries. Her personal experience with low back pain inspired her passion for helping others regain their quality of life. She is interested in deepening her understanding of spine care and improving patient outcomes by training in the McKenzie Method. Ariel finds joy in helping people return to the activities they love and is excited to provide exceptional care as part of The Therapy Network team. Outside of work, Ariel enjoys spending time with her two children, playing trivia, listening to music and audiobooks, and exploring weightlifting.
