"The long days I work as a flight attendant have gotten easier with Ryan teaching me many variations of the movements that I can do throughout the work day."  Sonya O.

"... 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.

"My goal is to feel young again, and I've already noticed that I am moving in that direction with improved range of motion, especially in my right hip. I'm playing hoops again and feel good most of the time."  Scott G.

"It dramatically accelerated my progress cleaning out old, stuck emotional energies and it's been amazing to loosen up muscle patterns that have been tight and restricted for years..." Wendy L.

"My chronic back pain was infringing on my life-long love of golf and having shoulder surgery last Christmas wasn’t helping.  I connected with Ryan Moschell at Somatics Health Solutions for several sessions last spring.  He explained the his approach to eliminating pain and strengthening muscles and started me on a daily program.  After a few months, my back pain became more manageable..." Tom P.

"In my first session, Ryan gently guided me in the first movement, and I felt immediate relief. I experienced emotional release as well as physical.  Literally, I felt the weight of the world was off my shoulders. All this in one session!..."  Maralyn F.

""I have been a competitive equestrian for many years and, after suffering an acute psoas/groin injury I was referred to Ryan Moschell and Get Out Of Shape by a fellow equestrian who had had excellent results. I had ridden with the pain for a number of months, but when it became so severe that I could not ride, I knew I needed treatment.  After just one session with Ryan..."  Mimi. M

"...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

"... Today I start each morning with Somatic movements and I am living a much fuller and more active life than I have in years. Ryan’s expert instruction and knowledge have allowed me to enjoy more days on the water or restoring my classic boat. Somatic movement taught my muscles how to relax again instead of being in a constant constricted state. Thank you Ryan!"  Dan R.

“Thank you Ryan Moschell! Truly amazing, after one session my chronic back pain of 30 years was reduced to almost nothing. Everything has been easier, walking, standing, sitting, better balance, easier breathing, etc… Not only am I out of pain but I feel even closer and more connected with my horses through my seat. What a great feeling..."  Felicitas

"I have suffered for more than a decade with pain that resulted from abdominal surgery.  Over the years I had several more surgeries to address the issue, but after a year or two, the pain would always return.   Frustrated with the limitations of western medicine, I began to try alternative healing techniques and was led to Ryan.  He has taught me..."   Karen

“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

"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

"After seeing a friend with a bad back, out power walking and playing golf, I had to find out what the difference was. She told me about Somatic movements and Ryan Moschell."   Bill

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 just wanted to take a second to shout out to Ryan Moschell and thank him for going over some Somatics with me, getting results even while 3000 miles away, to alleviate a strained tricep muscle from my Cross-fit class!  I was able to workout the next morning without any pain or extended soreness."  Lauren

“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

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

"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

“Sometimes you have an experience that really changes you for the long term.  Although it made sense in my mind, I still had doubt about the potential effects of Somatic..."  Dustun

“Over the years I have had problems with my lower back on occasion.  When it flared up the last time, I went to the doctor who said it was sciatica and I needed to rest.  Instead of just waiting for weeks for healing, I called Ryan and got in to see him the very next day."  Kathy

"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

"Most recently, he was able to alleviate a lower back strain and a very sore elbow both incurred as part of abnormal heavy lifting to complete a move into a new home.  These issues were resolved the day after the specific session." Greg

“I really love Ryan’s somatic work because he provides the tools so that I can continue on my own.  Those exercises really make a difference for me.  While I was on travel my right shoulder was suddenly hurting.  After performing the exercises the pain went away." Marion

"When I came to Ryan, I had shoulder tension that prevented me from turning my head from side-to-side without pain.  After a few sessions, I not only regained full mobility in my neck but increased my flexibility overall..."  Kathy

"... Ryan is a masterful instructor and is very patient as you are guided through movements that may seem difficult to grasp at first. When you experience Somatics, you’ll find that your body can be very relaxed and that your specific problem areas can be feel better.”  Don

"....he patiently listened to my physical history & explained that he felt the Somatic approach could be very helpful & I would able to relieve this pain through particular movements on my own! Wow…he was giving me a gift & he barely knew me. Ryan is an extremely gentle & thoughtful practitioner that has an obvious love for his profession & is genuinely excited to expose his clients to this healing technique." Joan

"Sensory Motor Amnesia. What an elegant concept and since I have reaped some of the benefits it’s even more exciting than a mere academic correlation. Thank you!”  Pete

"...  The petrified muscles became pliable and relaxed in a matter of days.  I had forgotten what it feels like to feel great.  Wow!  After years of missing out on any number of activities that I simply could not physically do, I now feel I have no limitations." Jennifer

"As I practice the exercises you taught me, and with more coaching, I know the freedom already experienced will be a new way of living...”  Richard

"... I found myself implementing his tools on the way home, in bed that night, and every day after that, and it has helped! I do have to say that I appreciated more than anything about his workshop is how Ryan was able to tailor fit it to my specific (personal and career) needs.”  Valerie

“It’s clear that Ryan Moschell thought about what it is we do and wants to apply his field to ours. I had the pleasure of hearing Ryan speak about Somatic Education and its physical benefits recently and I’m sold! His presentation style is accessible, interesting, and informative and..."   Sarah
