I’ve been dealing with hip and back pain for a while, and working with him has made such a difference. He really listened to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and gave me exercises that were both effective and manageable. Each session left me feeling better and more confident about my recovery. I truly appreciate his patience, knowledge, and encouragement — I can already feel the improvements. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and skilled physical therapist!”

Dr. Ryan worked in my daughter for ankle pain. He took my call in the middle of lunch, listened to me and worked her in very quickly. She is a JUCO soccer player who recently had surgical repair for fracture and torn ligaments in her ankle. She was in the middle of 2-a-days. He worked her in and got her right back to playing confidently. As she said, it was like magic. I cannot tell you how grateful we all our to have her back and playing with confidence.

After having extreme shoulder pain for 11 years, I was able to be pain-free after seeing Dr. Ryan! His knowledge goes beyond what you’d experience at a regular PT’s office. He has a whole body approach that addresses the issue and provides results like I’ve never seen before. Being pain free and having more mobility in my shoulder is something I never thought would be possible again! So grateful for Dr. Ryan and the work he is doing.

Ryan has been a huge blessing! I have seen him for over 4 years for multiple different injuries. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time to listen and provide the best level of care based on your needs. Ryan has been a huge impact in my recovery and has always help me get me back to competing and. doing what I love. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a physical therapist in the area.

Specifically, I saw Dr. Ryan because the ankle on my ‘problem leg’ was failing on long runs. Dr. Ryan and I discussed all of this history. He took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve and what was stopping me from getting there. Dr. Ryan found weak muscles to strengthen and overcompensating muscles to loosen. For example, he found my left arch had fallen so we worked to rebuild it; or, we did lots of work to loosen/strengthen my hamstrings.
