What Our Bristol Athletes Are Saying


  • Ryan is very knowledgeable and just an all around great guy. I went in for knee pain but through a thorough evaluation found out some other areas of weaknesses that needed to be addressed to help rehabilitate my knee.

    Jessica Jessee

  • I started coming to Ryan after having a knee surgery and was trying to get back into sports. Ryan was very knowledgeable, supportive, and helped me recover quickly. Highly recommend for anyone trying to get back into their sports or just get healthier!

    RF Legendzz

  • Ryan gave me a detailed plan and showed me some warm up exercises to do before I lifted that changed the game. No more neck issues. I also had some lower back pain that would flare up and he gave me a plan for that.
