Hello, my name is Ryan McNallan. I am originally from Pine Island, a small town in Minnesota. I completed my undergrad at Rochester Community and Technical College and the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. I then spent the last 3 years in Arizona completing my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at A.T. Still University. My first experience with Physical Therapy was when I had a couple of shoulder injuries in high school from playing football. I fell in love with the idea of working with athletes then, but as I have seen more of the field I’ve come to enjoy my geriatric and blue collar patients as well. I have experience working with neurological conditions, balance impairments, hip, knee, back, neck, and shoulder pain. One of my favorite things coming out in the research is that ACL’s are able to heal on their own and may not always require surgery to fix. My treatment philosophy is to reduce pain as quickly as possible, increase strength and function, all while giving you the tools to treat and prevent your injury from happening again. Outside of work, I love to golf, play basketball, workout, play video games, watch anime and football, and spend time with my family and friends. I’ve recently gotten back into reading so feel free to recommend any good fantasy or sci-fi reads.
