PT, DPT, ATC
Ryan received his Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from George Fox University in 2015. Prior to becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy Ryan received his bachelors degree in Athletic Training from Oregon State University. Ryan has a passion for promoting a narrative of resilience and empowerment, rather than a reliance on the traditional medical model. His purpose is to provide customized solutions to the needs of all individuals by creating a therapeutic alliance with each one.
Ryan utilizes a wide range of treatment approaches to promote positive adaptations that will improve an individuals ability to manage injury and the variability of sport/life. He is not a believer in magic hands and is very upfront with his patients about the limited role that the therapist’s hands play in their overall wellness. Ryan's patients hit the training floor early and often as he believes true motor learning occurs through the organic process of movement experience and error correction.
Ryan treats patients of all backgrounds but excels at working with field and court athletes of all levels and works as a private consultant for several NFL athletes.
Ryan believes that Headquarters Physical Therapy embodies the ideals of the healthcare industry - compassion, empathy, and science-based interventions. He believes that the Headquarters PT team is the best collection of physical therapists and nutritionists that Portland, Oregon can offer
