Ryan was first introduced to Physical Therapy as a high school athlete with a knack for pushing his body past its limits. A hamstring tear from soccer, a concussion from snowboarding and a rotator cuff tear from weightlifting resulted in Ryan spending much of his teen years in Physical Therapy learning about the rehabilitation process firsthand.
More recently, Ryan spent most of his twenties working as a personal trainer at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center helping an older demographic improve their capacity to move and develop the strength to perform their activities of day to day life with ease. After this mini career, Ryan spent his early thirties returning to school, attending Washington University in St Louis physical therapy doctoral program.
Today, Ryan finds himself most passionate about helping patients regain function and return to performing the activities they enjoy, ranging from helping post op knee and hip patients return to walking and performing ADLs to helping youth athletes return to their sport.
Outside of work, Ryan is an avid whitewater rafter, and backpacker, most recently completing the 100-mile alpine trail around Mount Blanc in the Alps of France, Italy and Switzerland.”
