“I have been to many Physical Therapists at different locations over the years given 2 hip replacements, a hip dislocation and now 2 knee surgeries. Needless to say I was in the least bit thrilled to start therapy...again. Every place I had gone to previous had the same old mundane, repetitive exercises. Super boring.My new surgeon was very adamant about where I went and who I was to see, which in this case was the Institute for Athletic Medicine in Elk River with a man named Ryan. I was skeptical and not thrilled, but that all changed when I went to my first appointment and met Ryan!Prior to my first appointment, my surgeon had communicated with Ryan about the procedure, my previous procedures and my condition (Cerebral Palsy). When greeted by Ryan he was completely aware of everything which in itself was a game changer...a place where the surgeon and the therapist actually communicate... that was the first for me! Ryan then went on to tell me he has a lot of knowledge and training with spasticity which is what I had needed all along...for many years so that was a HUGE bonus because I'm not a typical textbook creature.I was super impressed with Ryan's knowledge and handling of me...knowing exactly when to check if my kneecap was tracking correctly by working with the timing of my muscles spasms. No other PT has been able to work with and manipulate my muscles spasms, which is critical. He is so gentle and kind.Ryan explained things that were easy to understand, which is great because I ask a lot of questions“
