“…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...”
Moving pain free
"...dramatic improvement and my pain has abated."
“So I have scoliosis and have always had a bad back but really been in debilitating pain for the last 2 years. I am in law enforcement and very active and could no longer do the daily tasks and activities I wanted to do. I had tried everything 3 separate pt programs, chiropractor, yoga, acupuncture and medication shots directly into my back. Those things helped a little but not very much…” Blake G.
"I felt as if someone had taken chains off my rib cage."
"To my delight I can report improvement in my riding. My legs feel longer in the stirrups, meaning that my pelvic muscles are loosening. I can now access my ‘whole’ left side (back and legs) on the horse. This is allowing me finally to make balance adjustments and prevents falling in by one horse and helps alleviate a stiff left side reaction from another horse. My coach agrees that my riding has improved. Additionally I can breathe more freely..." Mary Anne
