Movement is medicine

Welcome to my website! My name is Ryan McDonald and I have been working in the health and wellness industry for over 20 years. I am a licensed massage therapist and a Board Certified Structural Integrator with a passion for bodywork and movement education.Through my work, I aim to help my clients achieve their goals and experience greater health and well-being. Structural Integration (SI) is one of the services I offer, which has many general goals such as improved KQ (kinesthetic Intelligence) and complete body image. This means my clients have greater access to sensory information and motor access to the entire body, with minimal areas of stillness or holding. I also focus on achieving skeletal alignment and support, which allows minimal myofascial effort for standing and action, as well as reduced effort in standing and movement.Other goals include increased range of motion, decreased restrictions/limitations in chosen activities, reduced pain, living in full length, rather than being held in shortness and compression, balanced myofascial tissues around the skeletal structure, improved ability to keep your balance and suffer less negative impact from the inevitable pitching seas of stress.In addition to Structural Integration, I also offer services such as Myofascial Release, Integrated Bodywork, Anatomy Trains Structural Integration 3 Series and 12 Series, Movement Education and more.I obtained my Massage Therapy License in 2010 and continued my education in sports and orthopedic massage. In 2022, I completed the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration program with Tom Myers in Maine and became board certified at the end of the same year. My passion for my work was reignited with a deeper understanding of the fascial network and positive feedback from my clients.Thank you for visiting my website and I look forward to working with you! hide
