Get to Know Ryan 

Ryan, originally from Irvine, discovered his passion for physical therapy when his brother suffered an ACL tear while playing soccer, giving him a firsthand understanding of injury recovery and the impact it has on families. After completing his undergraduate studies in Biopsychology at UCSB, he earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine in San Diego. Ryan specializes in treating neck and shoulder conditions and finds fulfillment in helping surfers and children with disabilities get back to the activities they love. On the weekends, you can find him surfing, fishing, snowboarding, or experimenting in the kitchen, and his background living in Hawaii and Japan reflects his love of adventure and diverse experiences, which helps him connect with patients from many walks of life.
