I can’t say enough about Ryan Schuler and his giftings in the area of healing the body. There are many folks out there who are trained and passionate, but I have never encountered anyone that has the innate ability to understand and see what is out of alignment and balance in a person’s body and be able to diagnosis and give excellent instruction in how to make corrections and achieve restoration in their body. I am very active and athletic but due to years of use and some functional issues in my feet, I could barely walk from the car to my office. I had just begun the process to get surgery on my toes. Ryan assessed my body and felt like he could help me regain not only the ability to walk longer distances again, but actually hike and play tennis and whatever else I wanted to do. I was very skeptical but thought I’d give it a last ditch effort before surgery. I mean, how can something that broken be restored with manipulation and “benign” exercises?! After a few month of sticking with his directions, I was able to do all the things I could no longer do. I walked the Camino de Santiago, and now play on a USTA Tennis Team. The small investment of finances and time will produce lasting results to greatly improve your quality of life. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
I met Ryan Schuler in 2017 while he was working at the gym I attended, and will be forever grateful that I did. I am a family practice doctor and have recommended many body work experts to my patients. I have also seen many myself. It has become obvious to me over the years that there are some who are not good, more who are great, but few who excel. Ryan excels at what he does. I truly believe Ryan has a gift. He has an innate ability to sense subtleties in the human body…things that others would easily miss. And he has a unique ability to find the source of an issue, address it, and then provide specific home exercises to allow continuation of the work he does for maximal healing. His instructions are clear and thorough. Ryan delivers his care with enthusiasm and is extremely passionate about what he does. He has had a life changing effect on me and my husband as far as maximizing our mobility while diminishing pain and mobility restriction. I highly recommend him as a healer.
I was referred to Ryan from my doctor after experiencing a lot of weird nerve sensations all over my body. I was quite concerned it was serious. During our sessions, Ryan worked on certain areas and introduced me to some basic exercises. Within a short amount of time all the nerve stuff was gone. I had neglected my body for so long and developed chronic weakness and imbalances from the computer work, poor posture, all of that. I've kept seeing Ryan, almost two years now, and am stronger and feeling better than I have in decades. I’m 51. I describe Ryan as a cross between a physical therapist and a personal trainer but know he does more than that, I just don’t know how to describe it all. I’ve never felt pain. He has you "crawl before you walk before you run”. I wanted to lift weights and gain strength and he taught me how to use my body and the correct muscle groups to avoid injury. He’s been life changing for me. I have knowledge and techniques that I will use for the rest of my life.
Federer and Mahomes travel with their own world-class physios to keep them moving and performing. In Central Oregon, we’re very fortunate to have Ryan Schuler. As a former college tennis player and current (very amateur) snowboarder and mountain biker who’s had a fair share of injuries, I rely on Ryan. His ground-up, hands-on, functional movement-based approach has allowed me to regain and grow athletic capability while eliminating pain. He is unlike any PT, massage therapist, or ortho I’ve ever worked with. He has reset my fundamental movement all the way down to my walking and running gait, helped me work through decades of accumulated scar tissue from past injuries, and kept me on a path to attaining my fitness goals. If you want to move more fluidly, or just reduce whatever physical pain you’re in, see Ryan.
I have been working with Ryan for over a year now. He is incredible! His unique technique has been instrumental in maintaining my ability to continue my work which is very physically demanding. He helps guide my exercise in an individualized way, working to strengthen my chronic injuries and stress areas. With his help I have been able to meet my own personal fitness goals in a way no group class, trainer or physical therapist has been able to help me achieve in the past. I highly recommend him!
