Booked a session in hopes of improving my running form and efficiency… that hour was so VALUABLE and has forever changed the way I structure my strength training and running! If you’re looking to recover from Injury or focus on injury prevention… Ryan is your guy!!

For roughly 3-4 months (I think), I could not squat or deadlift because of a pain I thought was in my glute/leg. When I came in for my first meeting with Ryan, he did a few test and quickly found out it was an injured disk in my lumbar spine. Within less than 2 months Ive been able to squat over 300 again and deadlift over 300 again for reps, pain free. He has also done some needling work that has helped me alot with part of my rehab. I will definitely be coming back to get work done!

Dr. Ryan is the absolute best physical therapist on the planet (I may be subject to a little hyperbole here, but I have my reasons)! I am a 67 year old powerlifter who came to the sport significantly later in life. When I started working with Dr Ryan, I had knee pain during my squat attempts (and a great deal of fear) and shoulder pain during my bench. Dr. Ryan quickly got to the root of the problem and setup an exercise plan to help. He also worked with my trainer Erin Elise of SNS Barbell for a seamless program. And in just 10 weeks it all worked. I can squat to depth with no knee pain and bench pain free. But, the real measure of success is that I just competed in a full power meet where I posted my best numbers ever on squat, bench and deadlift. I also won my division. Now that is progress. Dr. Ryan is funny, positive, kind and thoughtful. He has the determination to diagnose the problem and the subject matter expertise to create an effective plan. Thank you Dr. Ryan for everything.

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.
