Meet Michael Ryan! Our NewPhysical Therapist
Over the past year, Stretch Physical Therapy has been experiencing a growth spurt. As more of our wonderful patients recommend our natural, medication- and surgery-free approach to total wellness to their friends and family, a flood of newcomers have arrived at the clinic, all looking to experience the benefits of a pain-free life. For months, we’ve been looking for the perfect fit to expand our team so that we can give our patients the one-on-one attention and care they deserve. It wasn’t easy to find an individual as passionate and committed as we are about helping others without injections or surgery — that is, until we found Michael Ryan, the newest physical therapist to join the Stretch family! Michael joins us from a four-year stint at a physician-run clinic in Cincinnati, where he helped hundreds of patients reclaim their lives from pain and injury. He enjoyed his time there, but it eventually began to weigh on him. “I was over the ‘getting people in and out as fast as possible’mentality,” he says. “The physician dictated the treatment, so surgery was often prematurely prescribed.”Michael was happy to see this isn’t the case at Stretch PT. “Here, I can control the patient’s plan of care to help patients avoid surgery,” he says. When asked what attracted him to our clinic, Michael says that first and foremost, it was the philosophy behind what we do. “Kim’s work is really inspiring,” he says. “She’s set up her clinic so that we can spend a lot more time with each patient, building a really personal experience. You get to know your patients and their struggles on a meaningful level.” Patients have already begun to appreciate Michael’s friendly and outgoing attitude. He always speaks with compassion,
honesty, and candor to the people he serves.
Outside of the clinic, Michael’s life revolves mostly around his and his wife’s new house. They’re huge foodies and fans of microbreweries, so when they get some free time, they love to grab a bite and relax with friends over a beer or two. He’s also a passionate recreational runner, hitting the pavement as often as possible. Ever since Michael joined in February, he’s impressed everyone with his knowledge, expertise, and easy-going nature. We’re thrilled to have him on the team and look forward to his contributions for years to come.
