How well you take care of your self now determines your quality of life in the future.

For the past 20 plus years I have worked in the health and wellness field. I started out as a Cardio Kickboxing instructor at a Martial Arts school and quickly moved on to getting my Personal Training Certification. As a trainer I worked with all sorts of fitness levels from children’s fitness program, older adults, to high level amateur and professional athletes.

For the past 20 plus years I have worked in the health and wellness field. I started out as a Cardio Kickboxing instructor at a Martial Arts school and quickly moved on to getting my Personal Training Certification. As a trainer I worked with all sorts of fitness levels from children’s fitness program, older adults, to high level amateur and professional athletes. In 2010 I graduated from Branford Hall Career Institute’s 1080hr Massage Therapy Program. After graduating I used my background in Exercise Science to guide me in my continuing education. I was very lucky to have great mentors right out of school to help guide the direction I wanted to take as a Massage Therapist. I studied Orthopedic Massage/Integrated Manual Therapy/Myofascial Release/Neuromuscular Therapy along with Specializations in Corrective Exercise, Sports Performance, and Conditioning for MMA/Combat Athletes I bring over twenty years of improving health in others into my treatment room and every training session. I look forward to helping others on their health and wellness journey.

Loved it. Thank you!

Absolutely would tell someone about this type of work and benefits. I walked out with exactly what I was hoping to achieve. For some reason I thought my appt was an hr later than it was and when I showed, Ryan just carried on like a true professional. He definitely enjoys his work and is good at communicating with you thru the process of manipulating your fascia.

Good improvement after one session. Pain decreased and range of motion increased.

Ryan’s expertise is spot on and his intuitive healing wisdom helped my neck release mounds of tension.

Ryan made space for me to come in because I was in such pain that I couldn’t roll over or walk too well. After a few days, those angry muscles relaxed to where they should be, and after the 3rd day, I was moving like normal. It’s great to know that if I have a really bad pain, he will adjust his schedule to help me.

Excellent. Answered all my questions, explained everything and gave me exercises to do at home. Felt great afterwards and will continue! I would highly recommend Ryan to others.

Can’t wait to return

You feel right away that you are in the hands of a skilled, kind and extremely smart practitioner! Ryan has a grounding presence. The difference in my posture after 1 session has been remarkable! I’m excited to continue my series and make this a summer of positive and needed changes.

Very knowledgeable and professional. Results are good so far. Not your typical PT, much more of a process with root cause focus.
