My daughter is a D1 cross country and track/field runner at the University of Virginia. Ryan played a critical role in helping her return to peak fitness her senior year in high school, after suffering a fractured femur. Through a carefully progressed rehabilitation plan focused on strength, mechanics, and confidence, he rebuilt her strength safely and efficiently. This foundation made it possible for her to return to running that same year, and have a high level of success in DI competition her freshman year. She continues to see him even now in college when she returns for breaks for maintenance and oversight. Ryan is fantastic!

After my sports injury I thought all hope was lost. Dr. Ryan was able to get me back on track. He never pushed me to do any exercise I didn’t feel comfortable with. He was also patient with me as I got stronger every visit. I’m now back better than I was before the injury and he’s completely the one to thank for it. Hopefully I’ll never go through such a horrific accident; but, if I do there’s no doubt who I’ll be going back to see.

Dr. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the areas that I had concerns with. He was able to pin point those areas, what was causing the pain, and then actively showed me ways I can prevent the discomfort from progressing, as well as ways to decrease the discomfort. He followed up with me about my progress as well! I highly recommend him whether you’re dealing with an injury or discomfort that you’ve been ignoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before scheduling your first visit near Ballantyne.

Can I start physical therapy without a doctor's referral?

Yes. North Carolina allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your first visit without seeing a doctor first. If your insurance requires a referral for reimbursement, we can help coordinate that after your assessment.

What does a typical session look like?

Every session is focused on you. We'll assess your movement, test your strength, and build exercises around your training and goals. Most people start with one to two visits per week, then adjust based on progress.

Will I have to stop running or lifting while I'm in PT?

Usually not. We design plans that work around your training. You may need to adjust volume or intensity temporarily, but our goal is to keep you moving and progressing while you rebuild capacity.

Why is this approach different from standard PT near Ballantyne?

We focus on long-term durability, not just short-term pain relief. Our plans combine hands-on care, progressive strength training, and recovery strategies that help you stay capable for years, not just weeks.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Wear athletic clothes you can move in—shorts or leggings and a shirt work well. If you're a runner, bring your current training shoes. Be ready to move so we can assess your mechanics and build a plan that fits.
