"I feel like a new person."

"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 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

“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

“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

"The benefits are Amazing… increased neck and shoulder mobility, my chronic hip bursitis is alleviated! Having been a lifelong asthma sufferer I can use the breathing techniques and chest/ back stretches and contractions to calm my chest tightness and asthma reactions to allergies and pollen sometimes even without the aid of medication. It is a huge step for me to not feel the panic from a tight chest and asthma symptoms..."  Elizabeth

"Having gone from attempting chronic pain management, and the realization that this chronic state and the “management” of it was what I had to look forward to for the rest of my life, as well as the possibility of having to quit my passion for my physical well being, to now having gained CONTROL..."  Amy
