Ballantyne Clients Trust Us

Real results from active adults who refuse to settle for constant setbacks.

I injured my shoulder and Ryan was able to help me recover. What I like about the process is that you start with the fundamentals and end up strengthening to the point where the injury will be less likely to occur. Ryan works close with you and adjusts accordingly. He is also always available and I would recommend coming to see him for any injuries!

I have worked with Ryan for over a year now. In my teens I had hip surgery and ACL reconstructive surgery. Over the last 10 years, I have constantly battled swelling, aching, and overall discomfort. Since having Ryan do my programming, I have seen tremendous progress in my overall struggles with previous injuries. He really takes the time to know the injury and can provide realistic rehabilitation that works! I have recommended him to several family members and friends. His knowledge makes him the perfect person to provide the support for injuries while also training in strength performance sports.

Dr. Ryan is the best! Truly don't know where I'd be with my pain management if it weren't for his help. He's even helped me resolve back pain that I've been struggling with for almost 10 years

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.
