Daniel Ryan

Physical Therapist, Co-Owner

Dan has been a practicing Physical Therapist for the past 16 years. He graduated from the University of Hartford in 2003 with a Masters in Physical Therapy. Dan uses the principles of functional biomechanics to precisely analyze a patients movement and postural alignment that produce the pain and dysfunction. Once these improper movements are corrected, the stressed tissues no longer produce pain. As is the case with most physical therapists, Dan was introduced to Physical Therapy at an early age from numerous sports related injuries. In his free time, Dan enjoys running, biking, and swimming, having completed numerous Triathlons and Marathons. Dan lives in Hawthorne with his wife and 2 1/2 year old daughter.
