“I discovered that if I am not available for an in-person session, Ryan's web sessions are so good! I was a little nervous at first that the webcam would be as effective. But one time I was too ill to drive the hour to see him, but my body was hurting so badly that I just needed his help. Ryan suggested we do a web session. “ Lauren M.

"A few years ago I met Ryan at a Dressage Show where I was a vendor. I was going through a difficult time with my body; it was extremely tight all over. I was not sleeping and had limited movement. this was not a good thing for I am a horseman, taking care of multiple horses, giving riding lessons, and more…” Trish H.

Un-Twisting Success

“…I have a slight scoliosis and twist in the spine which has caused discomfort and limits my ability in sports. I have tried many things over the years: exercise, chiropractic, Alexander, Feldenkrais, physical therapy for lower back pain, and other postural methods. Each offered small improvements but no overall changes and nothing lasting. I had started Somatics after reading about it in a magazine but felt stuck after a year. I found Ryan and Get Out Of Shape when visiting family in Maryland...”

“My back has been the main challenge I have faced for many years. I chose to try hands-on Somatics sessions with Ryan and regularly did the suggested somatic maintenance movements at home. The results helped me and soon my workouts had more energy and were more impactful in my physical wellbeing…” John G.

"... My atlas orthogonist did her best, but finally told me that the muscles on the left side of my head and neck were so tense, they were pulling my atlas out of position. That sent me into utter despair, because I had always held my body like a clenched fist, and no amount of meditation, medication, exercise, or conscious effort had made any lasting difference. I went back to my internist, who said, “Well, if the problem this time is your nerves and muscles, not your bones, then I recommend you contact Ryan Moschell. I’ve worked with him myself and he’s excellent.” "    Bonnie C.

"Ryan photographed me at the beginning of the session and then showed me the first set of exercises. Just a few, easy to do movements, that while requiring concentration, were not physically challenging. The difference was immediate and apparent to me physically and Ryan took my photo again before leaving and showed how my body could relax and ‘untwist’ from my daily tightened state to a more natural state."  Darryl B.

"I was completely free of back and hip pain for the first time in over a year."

"...I can't express what a difference it makes to once again be free from chronic pain -- it has changed my whole outlook on life and improved my mood dramatically. I am now able to comfortably run 10+ miles, bicycle for several hours and swim over 2500 yards (resume my normal triathlon training regimen) and do so with zero pain. I'm also a much nicer person to be around :)  I am so relieved to know that chronic pain is not a sentence for the rest of my life, and I don't have to accept that as part of the 'normal' aging process..." Mira

"Everything is easier such as walking, breathing, sleeping, you name it."

"Everything is easier such as walking, breathing, sleeping, you name it."

"My first ride after the sessions: Due to confidence problems over the last few years, I had too much of a thigh grip in the saddle. This time I did not and my horse went into the canter so much smoother and I was able to follow the motion much more fluently. Also, in riding the image is conveyed “let your legs hang down like a wet towel draped over your arm”. Well, I think I felt this for the first time. My instructor told me after the first canter depart to do that again so that your horse will know you have changed an this is the “new you!”  Evi

"When I am sore I do slow pandiculations and I am pain free."

"Right now since being back I have a lot of energy and most of the time I am not sore and when I am sore I do slow pandiculations and I am pain free. As of today I am starting mat work movements  that will summarized into into a short very few minutes twice a day daily routine.  This stuff is exciting. I also see how my emotions contributed to SMA ( big) in addition to injuries. Well the work has made me more patient when I take a physical challenge on..." Harvey K.
