1 on 1 Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Ryan and his team are amazing! They take time to learn about your injuries and provide the right treatments to get back to feeling good again. The atmosphere is professional, relaxed and comfortable!

Fantastic experience: I should have written this review last year! Now I have two reasons to give 1 on 1 my 5 stars. In 2022 I had frozen shoulder. After seeing another pt practice that did not help me, I was referred to a surgeon. He was eager to perform surgery and I was scheduled but the week before I got in with Ama at 1 to 1. She encouraged me to give pt another try and under her care I avoided surgery and gained function in my shoulder and arm! I’m so glad I went the therapy route rather than surgery! Then in 2023 I had 2 sprained ankles within 2 weeks. Again under Ama’s care and plan I gained strength and began to walk normally and without pain. I am forever grateful for the care and custom treatment for my condition.

Fantastic experience: 1on1 Physical Therapy with Ryan has helped me avoid a major back surgery. He got me in fast and his plan of care was exactly what I needed. His expertise in dry needling gave me relief when I needed it most. He checked on me periodically and I am grateful. I feel like I’m on the road to functioning normal again. Try them out!!!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best Physical Therapy I have ever experienced! I came in with years of issues in my upper back, neck, and shoulders. After just one amazing session, and I already feel like a new woman. I will be recommending this practice to everyone I know. Highly, highly, recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: ★★★★★ "A Trip to Ryan's PT Magic Land: Miraculous Healing with a Side of Soul Searching" In the realm of soccer, took a dive, My knee all wonky, barely alive. "Off to Ryan!" ordered my wife, Tired of my injury strife. A skeptic I was, in plain sight, 'Til I met Ryan, the PT knight. A voodoo doc, with a magic spree, Fixed my knee, and set me free. Lessons learned, clear as mist, Not just lawyers on my list. Great PT is the golden key, Thanks to Ryan's therapy spree! Ryan and team, they're quite the blast, Healed my knee, and oh so fast! To all my pals, I loud decree, Try 1 on 1, and you'll agree!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome! After experiencing pain for several months, I tried 1on1 Physical Therapy and was pleasantly surprised by the level of relief and treatment I received. It is evident that the team has a thorough understanding of their field. The staff at Dr. Ryan's office were very accommodating and made sure that I was seen consistently in order to ensure my continued progress. I highly recommend 1 on 1 Physical Therapy. Lu

Fantastic experience: The staff at 1 on 1 Physical Therapy is wonderful. They are kind and most of all know their job. When I first started I could barely move my arms and the pain was horrible. I honestly do not know what I would have done without them. Now I am back to normal and pain free. My range of motion is great. I would recommend 1 on 1 Physical Therapy to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Katherine is the best physical therapist I have ever seen in my 40 plus years in asheville, NC. She is so incredible at listening and focusing on where you are feeling pain. I arrived with extreme pain and left with very little, she is the very best ! Thanks Katherine !

Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled with back issues for years and have tried so many things to try to bring myself back to where I used to be. This is the first time I’ve felt like I have a team supporting me in my goals and dedicating time to the process. I am finally regaining strength I haven’t had in a long time and I couldn’t recommend Ryan and his team more. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable provider with endless tools to support you these are your people!

Fantastic experience: Ryan and his team brought light out of darkness for me. Hard to find the words to express how grateful I am for the incredible care I've received over 1.5 years of chronic sciatica which set in during the pandemic. Their expertise, encouragement, emotional support (and good funk during dry needling) have brought healing to my body, mind and spirit and transformed my life and rhythms. In the last year I've resume cycling (though I still fall and need stitches...), rock climbing, backpacking and swimming - activities that bring so much joy. I feel renewed gratitude each day when I wake up and breathe in.

Fantastic experience: I had not been able to raise my right arm over chest height for 3 months. Went to a doctor, and he talked about surgery and cutting into my bones....agrhh! Then IN ONE VISIT to 1 on 1 Physical Therapy, I was raising my arm up again over my head!!! Am now working on permanently strengthening my shoulders with them.

Fantastic experience: Ryan Fenton with 1on1 Physical therapy is the best there is in Asheville. I came to him with a shoulder injury and he proceeded with massaging techniques and dry needling that helped me become healthy again. Highly recommend to anyone who needs personal, and efficient PT in the AVL area.

Fantastic experience: After a car accident in 2017 I was injured and was attending PT for a few years (in another state) on and off. After moving to Asheville I wanted to continue my care. I was directed to 1 on 1 Physical Therapy. I was so impressed after my first visit. ... and I continue my care there each visit feeling better than the last. Attending PT at 1 on 1 I have been given attention and care that is unmatched. The therapist really know their stuff! I honestly feel I have known everyone there for years because they are so inviting. I highly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: Stop looking. This is where you need to be. I've had various injuries over my life (yay athletic?) but this is the first physical therapist I've worked with that genuinely CARES. But it isn't just the main Doc (Ryan) - it's all of them. I was lucky enough to be treated by two folks there and I cannot express my gratitude. They don't force you into anything you don't want to do, their music is entertaining (as is front desk staff!! Love Heidi!), but they definitely offer a motivating nudge when you need it to help you get better (who else hates Dry Needling? Yes, well, they're right. It works and they do it correctly here). I hate that I was injured, but I'm glad to have found a place that actually wants to help me get better.

Fantastic experience: Ryan Fenton is a nice guy and a fantastic PhD PT who has healed every problem I've had over the last decade -- back, knee, hip, neck and balance -- and he worked out an exercise routine to help me through old age which is working well so far. He also diagnosed my husband's thigh problem immediately while watching his uneven gait and that is solved now. Ryan's assistants have all been great and nice as well. Plus, he's easy to reach and knows the ins and outs of Medicare and other types of insurance. It's worth a substantial drive to see him!

Fantastic experience: Ryan and all the staff at 1 on 1 are great! Professional, courteous, and compassionate about your progress and healing as a patient. I am so glad I found 1 on 1 and recommended it to anyone in need of physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: 1-on-1 physical therapy is wonderful and is the best physical therapy I’ve received. I wish I could give 6 stars! Dr. Ryan and Dr. Katherine have really helped my chronic neck pain and shoulder pain. For the first time in a year I am no longer taking Tylenol or ibuprofen regularly for pain thanks to these great PTs! I am a former college basketball player and avid backpacker, it was very debilitating suffering from a neck injury and not being able to do the outdoors stuff that I love. After getting PT here I have been able to resume hiking and other outdoor activities without fear of re-injury. Very clean and professional business, warm friendly staff, and real results. I highly recommend choosing 1-on-1 physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: I've become quite a fixture at 1 on 1 PT. I've been receiving treatment through one of the hardest things I've been through in my life. Cyndi is great. She is warm and friendly and always has a smile and great attitude. Very professional woman who has endured the same injury as myself. It has been so insightful to have her by my side through this journey. Thanks Cyndi!!!!!

Fantastic experience: After a neck and back injury I was unable to sleep with limited mobility. Ryan had me sleeping better and out on the golf course after a couple of visits. He is very experienced, easy to talk to and sent me home with exercises that helped my recovery.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best PT. I am in my late 60s, and have had many orthopedic injuries in a sports-filled life....and thus had many experiences with PT. Ryan is the best! Spends an hour 1 on 1 with each patient, providing extensive priceless information on how to heal and strengthen, wonderful hands on treatment, curative dry needling, and a friendly, invitational atmosphere. The best!

Fantastic experience: Chris is an awesome PT. I was skeptical of trying physical therapy at first because I’m not too old yet and had chronic back pain for 3 years now and nothing seemed to help. I was feeling pretty desperate because my kids are still young and I want to be my best for them and couldn’t because of my back pain. It was really limiting me living my fullest life. I met with Chris and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I had to work hard sweating under a mask each session but it was so worth it!! I literally can’t believe that I can wake up in the morning without pain and sleep through the night again. Chris is easy to communicate with and did a great job getting my back in shape. I learned a lot about the importance of posture. I would recommend Chris and 1 on 1 PT to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Professional, experienced, personable therapists. Late weekday apts available and Saturdays! After my broken knee cap/patella, it was hard to imagine when life could be normal again. Thanks to Dr. Ryan and both Dr.Cindy's, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter. Thanks y'all!

Fantastic experience: Ryan’s sincerity and the care he has for his patients helps to make the environment a great place to heal and recover. The other practitioners in the office are great as well. I highly recommend 1 on 1 PT!

Fantastic experience: Ryan is the best in Asheville! He's knowledgeable, friendly, takes great care in educating patients, listens to your concerns, and plays great music! The staff is awesome also. One on one treatment for a whole hour. Great location, easy to find.

Fantastic experience: I have had a herniated disc and was able to go from barely rolling out of bed and unable to tie my shoes to my old reckless self in no time. Great staff and were able to work with my schedule in a very short time period. Was nervous with the dry needling at first and now...must be a mandatory. Thanks y’all!

Fantastic experience: Ryan Fenton has the best skills as a physical therapist that I have ever experienced. He gets results, whereas other physical therapist that I have seen for chronic tennis elbow have not even come close to his very effective treatment.

Fantastic experience: Ryan is a lifesaver! After having neck surgery, I had very limited movement. He gently worked on my muscles and my range of motion is so much better! He is so knowledgeable and is always learning more. This is so impressive to me. Ryan is kind, gentle, a miracle worker....and so fun to be with!

Fantastic experience: I've seen Ryan 3 times so far and amazed with the results. He is 1 on 1 with you the entire hour. Easy to talk to and plays great music, not to mention he fixes your problems. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I only have positive words to share about my experience in being treated by Ryan at 1-On-1 PT. I am being treated for knee and lower back pain. After only 4 treatments and simple home exercises, I was significantly improved where lasting effects were realized. After 3 weeks my treatments were reduced from 2x/week to 1x/week. I am convinced that my recovery is due to having hands-on work being done by Ryan for a full hour. I’ve always felt pain-free upon leaving my treatment sessions. Ryan also suggested home exercises that can be done readily and quickly. The 3 exercises he suggested were extremely effective and zeroed-in on the affected area. He has taught me how to manage and relieve any pain that does occur at home. And he has done this in only a few weeks! He also is available anytime via phone or text to answer questions or provide advice on how to deal with issues that crop up. That is customer service! Ryan’s approach is much different than that of my previous PT provider (affiliated with the hospital and my physician’s group). In 2017 treatment for similar conditions by my previous provider went on for over 10 months at 2x-3x/week, where hands-on PT work was only 15-20 minutes, with the remainder of my hour shared with 2 other patients. The home exercises prescribed by my previous PT provider were numerous and took a long time to complete; making them nearly impossible to remember when I no longer was being treated there. In contrast, I’ve only had 10 treatments with Ryan and am so much better! My knee issue is resolved and my lower back pain is nearly gone. The few and simple exercises he gave me will be easy to remember when I’m discharged from his service. I am so glad that my physician referred me to 1-On-1 PT! Ryan is an experienced PT clinician who assessed my issues and quickly found the best treatment approach, enabling a quick recovery. I highly encourage anyone needing physical therapy, to checkout Ryan and 1-on-1 PT. He has done wonders for me, and corrected my issues quickly and cost-effectively! Having individualized care is key! Don’t make the mistake I did back in 2017 - you don’t have to use the PT provider in your physician’s hospital system! Many thanks to Ryan to getting me back on track to feeling normal again so quickly!

Fantastic experience: I am an extremely happy repeat customer of Dr. Fenton's Physical Therapy expertise. I first meet Ryan approx. 7 years ago when I was considering shoulder surgery. With his amassing PT help I was not only able to rehab 100% without surgery but I can do hand stands and pull ups again. Two years ago, following a herniated lumbar disk injury we worked together over the course of less than 4 months in preparation of a successful 42 mile - 25 hour R2R2R run across the Grand Canyon and back. Earlier this year Ryan coached me through a 4 week rehab of my medial collateral knee ligament prior to climbing a 17,000' volcano in Ecuador. I have no doubt there are other technically skilled PT practitioners like Dr. Fenton. But in my experience Ryan is unique. He compassionately listens to you and understand how and when to push you harder AND in my case often when to hold you back from pushing too hard and re injuring yourself.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful practice. Ryan has helped reduce my pain significantly. I love woking with him and appreciate all the tools and techniques he has taught me to keep my pain at a manageable (nearly non-existent) level!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ryan Fenton at 1-on-1 Physical Therapy. I have had many previous PT's and have never had the good results I've had with Ryan. I feel this is because he spends time with me and not trying to have 3 patients at once. He knows just what I need to get moving again. Call him if you need physical therapy. You'll be happy you did. Gail Israel

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience! Ryan is fantastic! You truly get individual one on one therapy. After 3 treatments of dry needling, my back pain was completely resolved. I continue to seek care as needed there and suggest this facility to others in need.

Fantastic experience: Ryan at 1 on 1 Physical Therapy is outstanding to work with. After breaking and dislocating my ankle, I had physical therapy at one of the larger therapy offices. I worked with different therapists each time and not all of them seemed equally qualified. It felt like a factory, cranking out therapy. I see Ryan each time and he develops the a custom program for me. I am making tremendous progress and Ryan keeps the therapy sessions fun. If you need physical therapy, I highly recommend 1 on 1 Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Ryan has helped me recover from muscle strains on numerous occasions over the past five years. He is always professional and personable, freely sharing information that helps with my recovery. I have recommended him repeatedly to friends.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr. Ryan Fenton at 1-on-1 Physical Therapy by another Doctor who specialized in pain management. My pain issues were multifaceted and Dr. Fenton understood what to do to help relieve the pain from all of them. He is not only professional but more knowledgeable on a much wider range of physical issues than any other Physical Therapist I've worked with in the past. He also knows how to listen. So, Stop cryin' and go see "Doc" Ryan, no joke.

Fantastic experience: I have been sharing Clinic space with Ryan and Cindy for 4 months now and have seen many loyal and satisfied patients come through. They are dedicated to providing the best care in town - you will be seen one on one - which is really rare - and they are invested in your recovery. They use effective hands-on techniques to get you moving and feeling better.

Fantastic experience: Best Physical Therapy! I have had amazing results with Ryan. He has fixed issues I have had for years, and I am a new person. It is refreshing to know I have help when I need it, and at my age, life can still go on in comfort and activity.. Great experiences! I HIGHLY recommend this PT practice! Thanks for everything!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ryan and his staff are wonderful. They really take the time to find the cause of your pain instead of wanting to do surgery first. They have helped me say active with my young family and pain free. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Ryan now for 3 weeks. He has been treating my shoulder and I saw immediate relief. I called him when my shoulder hurt so bad I couldn't reach across my passenger seat in the car to pick up my purse. The pain was keeping me awake at night. I didn't need a referral, and I got in immediately. Ryan gives you one on one attention and way better care than your traditional physical therapists. My shoulder continues to get better after every treatment. Ryan incorporates whole body healing and uses both structural and muscular adjustments and trigger point massage . I highly recommend Ryan. The dry needling I've had done is amazing and speeds up my healing. He really knows his stuff! Call him today! You won't be sorry.

Fantastic experience: I first went to Ryan for my shoulder a year ago because I had extremely reduced mobility and a considerable amount of pain. I’ve been completely pain free and have a full range of motion in my shoulder ever since! More recently I’ve been going for lower back pain and bulging disks. I’ve watched family members have surgery for this and be completely laid up. Being able to reach out to a trusted professional like Ryan for help was an huge relief. Not only will you experience pain relief with 1 on 1 Physical Therapy, but Ryan’s goal is to teach you how to manage your own health by combining manual techniques with exercises for you to carry out on your own for improved quality of life. His care for his patients is unmatched and I recommend him to anyone! #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #pt

Fantastic experience: Ryan and Cindy are both very knowledgeable and excited about physical therapy and helping people. They are both easy and pleasant to be with and make a great team. Their number one focus is their patients! Asheville is fortunate to have 1 on 1 Physical Therapy as an option for individualized care.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Ryan for over three weeks. He is an in-network specialist with BCBS, saving me hundreds per session. It's his place so he lets me listen to Pink Floyd while I work. 1 on 1 just makes sense to me!

Fantastic experience: After 2 hip and joint surgeries in the last 18 months accompanied by 2 solid year of "PT", I have finally found a Doctor and a practice that has made difference in my recovery! "PT" often becomes a mundane after thought of surgery instead of the stepping stone to full recovery and mobility, which I have found from Dr. Ryan and the practice at 1on1PTAsheville! Dr. Ryan will challenge your recovery path with a custom treatment plan that listens and aligns with your body towards maximum results in your recovery path...it is one referral that I will be forever grateful! Make the call...feel and know the difference! #1on1ptasheville

Fantastic experience: Laid back, casual atmosphere with amazing results. Ryan’s techniques helped me go from zero external rotation with tons of pain and discomfort to about 98% full movement and no pain. Im better than ever!

Fantastic experience: Ryan and Cindy are life savers! They absolutely changed my life. I no longer need pain medication after treatment from them. I had been to other PT without any benefit before and had pain issues for 15 years

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy in Asheville! Ryan has treated me for years before opening his own practice (1 on 1 PT), and he has helped tremendously with my back and knee issues. He also helped relieve my sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy. I highly recommend his practice as the best!

Fantastic experience: Ryan is the first therapist to be able to help with my shoulder problems after searching for several years. He and Cindy are a great team and provide excellent care. I recommend them all the time.

Fantastic experience: Ryan at 1 on 1 helped ease the pain that I was having in my back for the past three years ! He is the 3rd therapist I had seen and at that point was very discouraged and didn't think he could do any better than the rest . I was wrong ! He used different techniques and he was able to pinpoint exactly where I was hurting! I would recommend him to anyone looking for relief!

Fantastic experience: t's rare to find a Physical Therapist as hands-on as Ryan and Cindy. I just finished my third session and I am amazed by how much progress I'm making and how much better I feel. Cindy is warm and easy to relate to, after a few minutes of talking, she quickly recognized the issues I'm having with my shoulder. Her work feels gentle, but it is incredibly effective. Ryan has been dry needling critical areas to help me progress more. He's caring and funny and the treatments are working! I've been very resistant to Physical Therapy because in the past I found it to be a waste of time and ineffective. I'm so glad I listened to a friend and made an appointment. I highly recommend 1 on 1 Physical Therapy.
