Practice Philosophy
Ryan believes Physical Therapy is an art. It takes dedication, precision, and time to create a masterpiece. He believes that a hands-on Functional Manual Therapy approach to physical therapy is the most effective and efficient way to improve the function of his patients.
“Functional Manual Therapy® is an integrated and seamless treatment system which couples mechanical treatment of the joints, soft tissues, visceral and neurovascular systems with manual neuromuscular facilitation to enhance optimum motor control and human function.”
– Institute of Physical Art
Dance Therapy
While at Columbia, Ryan developed an interest in dance/performance medicine learning from Broadway-renowned, and fellow Columbia alumnus, Cameron Gomez. It didn't take long for Ryan to make his Broadway debut (backstage is close enough, right?), becoming the lead physical therapist for Aladdin on Broadway. Other Broadway shows Ryan assisted include Mean Girls and Flying Over Sunset
