Un-Twisting Success

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.

"To say that Ryan & Somatics changed my life would be an understatement. Ryan helped me to open my eyes & educated me through the most difficult time of my life. I have been in chronic pain since 2006, and for the first time in 9 years, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My husband and I searched for years and years for something, anything that would help alleviate my pain."  Ali

“Participating in a workshop with Ryan Moschell was one of the best investments that I have made in my health and well-being. Despite weekly chiropractic adjustments and regular massage and acupuncture appointments, I was never able to stay in alignment. After the workshop and my private session with Ryan, I have been able to maintain alignment by doing my daily exercises..."  Beverly

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 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

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

"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

"Able to stop a headache"

“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

"Old issues are being alleviated in such a short time."

"Old issues are being alleviated in such a short time."

“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

"It is a huge step for me to not feel the panic from a tight chest and asthma symptoms"

"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

"Ability to locate and eliminate the pain myself"

"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
