"I feel like a new person."

So a week later, last Saturday, I paid a visit to Ryan in Annapolis. He listened attentively to my issue and asked a few questions. Within minutes, Ryan had figured out what the problem was and knew how to fix it. After a few movements, I immediately started to feel some relief. I left the studio with some instructions which I have followed, and I can honestly say that after only 2 days of following these instructions and taking the 10 minutes-twice-a-day needed to continue improving, I feel like a new person."  Anne

“I first came to see Ryan a year ago for help with some chronic back, shoulder ,and hip issues that caused me pain and interfered with my ability to garden. I had had lots of bodywork previously but found Ryan and Somatics to provide me with relief and newfound comfort in moving."   Barbara

“I’ve had back and neck pain most of my life. I’ve tried everything from chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and physical training. When my massage therapist was no longer able to see me as a client, I began seeing Ryan for massage. I learned from reading and some of his explanations about Hanna Somatic Education and was intrigued..." Christina

"I canceled my previously scheduled appointments and instead went to see Ryan to experience and learn more about how Somatic Education could help me.  It has changed my life!  I now am almost entirely pain free.  The best thing about it is that I am in control of dealing with my issue—I don’t have to rely on a doctor, therapist or chiropractor to temporarily “fix” me.  It was very empowering to take back control of my life through my Somatic education.  As a result of my sessions with Ryan..."  Claire

“I retired 4 years ago ready to enjoy life only to have debilitating news that I had inoperable spinal stenosis and curvature of the spinal column from living an active life full of accidents. Added onto that I had hip deterioration, ligament and tendon damage from a previous horse accident.  I tried injections for pain, four years of physical therapy, pain medication, and finally burning the nerves to reduce pain. I was given special shoes and a cane. I walked better with the cane. But who wants to look old and fragile. When I met Ryan Moschell I was walking with a cane..."  Mary Anne

"Ryan has an incredible healing and calm presence and guided me through five sessions in his Annapolis office during which I felt immediate relief and rebalanced. Part of his work is to educate you to how to do these movements well enough to do them at home. From there I was be able to do theses exercises daily to rebalance from life’s demands especially being a Mom in my 40’s to a very energetic toddler..."  Pam

"Gently opening me to greater ease and range of movement."

"I started out thinking that having to do exercises at home would feel like a chore, it has actually become something I look forward to, a way of coming home to myself when I start feeling “off” or notice tension or pain beginning to arise. While learning the Hanna Somatics Method has been helpful, it needs saying that I have found it especially beneficial to work with Ryan one to one."  Ingrid

"All of the pain that I had before the session was gone ."

I’ve been seeing Ryan now for 10 years as a massage therapist. When I started seeing him I was struggling with diabetes, on multiple medications, over weight and in pain almost every day from fibromyalgia. Over the years I have lost weight, I’m running half – marathons, gotten off most of my medications, and most of my pain is now manageable. My life is very busy managing a real estate office, caring for my husband, being a devoted mother and soon to be grandmother, and training for more half – marathons.  So day-to-day stress still builds up. Recently I was having painful symptoms of what had been diagnosed as fibromyalgia..." Trish

"Since I started seeing Ryan Moschell for clinical one-on-one Somatic sessions I have noticed a number of changes that I find to be very positive. I can comfortably pick up my shoes from the floor first thing in the morning. Previously I had been too stiff for at least an hour to do this. I also have no more “rice krispies” when I turn my head. My foot, (when I check in at random times), seems to be more often in “neutral”.  I had very slight neuropathy..."    Roz

“I first came to see Ryan because of soreness in my left shoulder and neck, the result of numerous neurosurgeries over the past 15 years. I have a long commute and my job requires significant time in front of a computer both which cause tightening of my neck and shoulder muscles, tension at the original surgical site, and ultimately, severe, non-migraine headaches and visual disturbances. This can occur up to several times a day, and results in significant loss of efficiency and decrease in quality of life."  Nancy

“ I am a chef and a bartender, and Annapolis has it share of tourists, but never so much as Sailboat Saturday.  I was called in 7 hours early to help so I spent almost 17 hours walking, bending, standing, running, arguing, settling, pouring, dicing, counting, writing, dealing with stressful customers, and by the end of that I was in a type of agony that I’ve never felt before."  Nikki

"Ryan had been telling me there was a way I could alleviate the pain/tension and regain flexibility myself on my own. I agreed to start one-on-one Somatics sessions. In just one session I noticed a major difference in my ability to turn my neck further without pain.  The movements I learned and practiced helped me to continue the process of releasing my neck from its stiff and painful state."  Eileen

"I realized that I felt NO PAIN and had been feeling well since the last session."

"I realized that I felt NO PAIN and had been feeling well since the last session."

During the first session I mentioned a place on the back of my neck that I was sure was post surgery pain and had been diagnosed as inflammation/scar tissue. Ryan acknowledged the diagnosis but reminded me to leave open the possibility that what I was feeling could stem from Sensory Motor Amnesia. At the end of the session I had no pain in that spot for the first time in years. When I came to the next session a few weeks later Ryan asked me how my neck had been feeling. I had to think and check in for a minute and then I realized that I felt NO PAIN..."  Sharon

“My husband was skeptical when I first told him about Somatics. What caught his attention was when we golfed 36 holes this past weekend not only was my shoulder pain free but all of my drives were all 20-30 yards longer than they had ever been. My husband asked what I had been doing differently and I said the only thing that has changed is my Somatic training with Ryan..."  Paula

“My Somatics sessions with Ryan have been nothing short of magic! I came to Ryan with tightness and pain in my left upper arm/shoulder, mid back, and a tight IT band. I really wanted to enjoy my retirement, yet these issues where beginning to affect and limit all areas of my life…After attending my one-on-one session..."  Chuck

“Since learning Somatics with Ryan, I have had a lot of relief from chronic pain originating in childhood injuries, including severe shoulder and neck pain, migraines, and diaphragmatic breathing issues. I am grateful and relieved to see some light at the end of the tunnel..."  Felicia
