Long Run Physiotherapy & Performance

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is such a good, smart dude. As a provider myself, I have such a huge level of respect for another provider such as Ryan who not only gets to the root of your problem, but also gives you the tools to prevent future injury as well as the tools to work on future injuries yourself. That sort of method truly empowers a patient, which is exactly what you need when you’re in a vulnerable spot with an injury. Knock on wood, I haven’t had any discomfort for my longest stretch ever. Kudos to Ryan for doing it right and dabbling in the dad jokes along the way.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Ryan has been such a joy. I had taken a nasty hit in a soccer game and fell on my hip and had a lingering pain in my hip during running that was diagnosed as hip impingement and possible labral tear. I had seen a different PT for about 4 months and was feeling like I hadn't made any progress when I stumbled upon Long Run Physio on Google. I was really impressed that Ryan did not only a very thorough physical examination but also took the time to ask how this was impacting my life and what my goals were. Unlike the former PT I felt like I had a really flexible schedule based on my availability and goals. He's also very understanding that most of us are impatient to get back into our activities (and how it impacts our mental health) and will work with you to find ways to participate if safe & possible. He was also able to help with a shoulder injury I incurred and I'd recommend him for more than just running or leg focused injuries. I'm currently able to train for a long trail race I had been working towards pre-injury so the results speak for themselves!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is the best! I’ve been working with him for over a year. He’s helped me rehab from an ankle/heel surgery and now he’s programming my strength work so I can get back to racing!

Experiencia fantástica: The best PT around! I have worked with several other PTs in the Denver area and none compare. Ryan truly understands runners, he gets that "not running" is not an option for us and does everything he can do get and keep runners healthy. He also is a great educator, I have learned a tremendous amount about my own body, how things work together, what is really going on in my body, and the path to becoming a stronger runner! Don't wait until you are unable to run due to an injury to go see Ryan, go see him even if you are 100% healthy as he will build a program to help you stay that way. There are always things we can all do to become stronger, more balanced, faster, healthy runners.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan has an amazing wealth of knowledge and advice. I worked with him virtually from California to improve my S&C as an endurance runner. I only wish I was living in Colorado, as any CO friends I've sent his way have had great feedback too. His passion for our sport clearly shows and he is so excited to see his patients improve as athletes.

Experiencia fantástica: He's better at Physio than comedy all jokes aside...very knowledgeable and genuinely a good guy. He's always been extremely helpful anytime I come to him with questions. Thanks for all your help!

Experiencia fantástica: I found Ryan through my gym, Fitness in the City. Ryan has help me get back on my horse- and bike- pain free. He gives you the tools to not only sustain a pain-free existence, but improve it. Hands down the best there is. Such a valuable member to any team. He also plays stellar music.

Experiencia fantástica: I was severely out of shape when I found Ryan. I enjoyed running in high school and as a young adult. Now we’ll into my 50s I didn’t know where to start. I was apprehensive that Ryan might not want to work with someone starting at square one. I was so wrong. From the moment I stepped into his gym I was welcomed as if I were an Olympic athlete. Ryan got me started with a combo of running/walking and resistance training. I am about 3 months into the program and I feel great. I’m progressing slowly but SAFELY. Ryan made me believe I could become a runner again.

Experiencia fantástica: First off, let me just say that I don’t even run. Lol. I started seeing Ryan in February 2022 for a neck injury that happened during a yoga practice long over 2 years ago. I was in constant pain, and I was so over it. Ryan has given me not only the tools that I needed to heal this injury but he has also given me a better mind set about taking care of myself. We realized that healing my neck was going to take more then just PT and exercises (because part of my pain was induced by stress). I have now since adopted healthier habits, like seeing a LMHC, meditation, and going to the gym. He is so much more then a physical therapist to me, more like a life coach! My neck pain has subsided and everyday tasks, work, and yoga are SO much more enjoyable now. Thank you so much, Ryan! I could not have done this without you!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is the best, I was struggling with lots of calf issues leading up to Boston and Ryan was able to fix them, I highly recommend him. He is a pleasure to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is the best in his field. Extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to truly understand the individual that he is treating. I cant' recommend him enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan has been so helpful in working with me to address the many ailments that were interring with my daily life and running. For the first time in years I am pain free most days and have the tools to ease the pain when it does return. Highly recommend without hesitation!

Experiencia fantástica: I discovered Ryan through my gym and I’m so grateful I did. After a ski injury, I needed hardware implanted. I started seeing him to prepare to have the hardware removed and then recover with him after. I started working with him June 2022 and my surgery was October 2022. His attention to detail for my injury specifically in Regards to mobility, pain management, scar tissue therapy, and genuine care and curiosity is unmatched. He hears me, listens to me, and provides solutions that not only relieve pain and increase mobility for me but also give me what I need to stay pain free and improve after. Whether you’re training, recovering, or just want to elevate how your body functions, Ryan is definitely your guy.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan's amazing. If you're struggling with pain and want a top-notch holistically-minded PT to help support you in your recovery, Ryan's your guy. I've had achilles, piriformis, and neck-related issues over the past 1.5 years and he's been tremendously helpful. Highly recommend. Get on his newsletter list!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is wonderful! Personal one-on-one sessions, i.e. not splitting time between multiple clients like most therapists do. Evaluation and plan tailored to the individual's precise issue. He helped me with "pre-hab" to prepare for surgery, then my post-op phase. I was back to racing my bike, running and skiing within 6 months of back surgery!!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is very personable, patient and exceptionally knowledgeable. I had some nagging hip/back issues that was overlooked by other professionals. Ryan had a very thorough assessment of every little detail and within once session I was making quick progress. He gave me the tools and know how to resolve my issues within just a couple of weeks. I was beyond impressed with my visit to Long Run Physiotherapy and Performance.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 stars for Ryan, he’s the absolute best. Came to him with a pestering hip injury and came out of his sessions running a 10k Spartan race pain free!! He then set me up with a strength plan to make sure the pain didn’t come back and to help me progress with my fitness goals (which was tough because my goals were all over the place, extra points for helping me manage those). He’s comprehensive, he’s extremely thoughtful, he really listens, he asks questions no other PT ever asked me to get to the root of the issue, he’s extremely personable, and to top it all off, he’ll let you pick the music. Always ensured I was feeling comfortable and never pushed too hard. 10/10, will always recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: I was introduced to Ryan almost 2 years ago. I had just had surgery on my Achilles tendon on my right foot . I’ve been in Ultra Runner for the last 14 years in a long distance runner for the last 25 years. Ryan got me back to enjoying what I love , built a solid recovery program and now has become my running coach. This past season a year and six months after surgery I was able to run a 40 mile race and cover 6000 feet of elevation gain and then in September complete 160 miles of single track mountain running with 26,000 feet of elevation gain. I highly highly recommend Ryan for all your PT and coaching needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is fantastic. I had several nagging injuries that I was ignoring while I was pretty inactive during the pandemic. Once I got back into exercise/cycling, I realized that I needed help. I feel so much better now! I no longer have back pain when I wake up, my mechanics on the bike are better so I don't get cramps after riding for a few hours. Can't say enough about how well he listens. To give an example, there was one exercise that he had suggested I do at home, but it required just a little extra effort (finding a step or a box or something for one foot) and that made the activation energy just a little bit hard to get over. Ryan changed it up and it was so much easier to get it done--no more excuses! I would highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Ryan for almost 4 years in an effort to address a hip impingement that I have. Through our work together, I have continuously been able to do more with less pain, progressing from being able to perform my day to day movements without pain to getting back to hiking and skiing some of my favorite lines on the East Wall and getting back on my bike. Through out this process, Ryan has been a consistent partner who both meets me where I am and also challenges me to do the work that he knows will help me reach my goals. I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Ryan for a low back injury that had been bothering me for years. I saw a Doctor before hand and was even considering getting an MRI, thankfully someone recommended his services to me and that turned everything around. His unique approach found the source of my problems and he put together a plan that put me on the path to moving and feeling much better. He’s a wealth of knowledge, I left my appointments with more “ah-ha” moments than frustrations and felt heard for once. 10/10 human and healthcare provider!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Ryan for the past few years on a variety of issues from trail running. He is good at listening and has a holistic view of running. His aim is to get you injury free and staying that way. He helped me rehab multiple injuries. Along the way he would address my cadence on downhills, big toe engagement on long climbs, debate orthotic inserts, and address ankle mobility issues. He would suggest ways to alter running form or give an exercise for a weak muscle, traverse abdominus in my case. He is a great PT.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is an extremely knowledgeable and thorough physiotherapist. With his comprehensive understanding of body mechanics, he easily pinpoints minor mechanical variances and traces issues back to the source problem to focus on retraining the body to move and function correctly. He has helped me diagnose and recover from all sorts of problems ranging from minor sport injuries to broken bones and torn cartilage. His goal is never status quo - but recovery and strengthening beyond previous conditions to help protect from future trauma. I am always impressed at my progress after leaving a session with Ryan, and leave understanding more about how my body works and what it needs to function better. Skills aside, he's a fantastically upbeat and fun person to be around and learn from!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is terrific! He has a very supportive approach while providing very helpful exercises for my broken ankle. He gave me great videos with demonstrations of the exercises to practice at home. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone in need of physical therapy! You won't go wrong.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is an amazing wealth of knowledge for anyone recovering from -- or trying to avoid -- an injury (read: everyone). However, in my opinion his true differentiator is his ability to understand and work with runners. His virtual visits were extremely convenient and without ever meeting face to face he was able to put together a program that helped me alleviate back pain. I wholeheartedly recommend Long Run Physio!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is a caring and technically gifted PT. I run 10-12 miles a week, so nothing crazy, but I still developed some IT band pain. Ryan set out exercises and stretches along with strength training to help me keep running while working out the underlying condition. He is patient and explains the process while making you feel involved in the therapy. I would highly suggest talking to Ryan for your PT needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is a gifted physiotherapist, who took the time to truly listen to me, and tailor a plan to my abilities and needs. I have never felt stronger and like I am finally addressing some reoccurring/persistent injuries. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is thorough in his analysis and effective in his treatment strategies. Any runner or athlete can expect to receive careful attention to detail and extreme focus on performance based outcomes, as seen as by tailored individual plans meant to promote long term success.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is awesome! Through working with him, I improved my strength and mobility. Previously running 12 minute miles, I made huge strides in my min/mile. He’s extremely knowledgeable and available to clients.

Experiencia fantástica: I sought PT from Ryan for nagging back pain and then again after I blew out my knee skiing. He is excellent! Ryan has always designed PT routines to enable me to reach my goals -- returning to running, backpacking, and skiing -- in a way that fits my office-worker lifestyle. Ryan is also just a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend, especially for active folks! Ryan knows his running stuff.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan was fantastic at helping my identify muscle weaknesses since having my first baby. He gave me steps and advice that helped build my muscles back up and I was back to running races even sooner than my doctor had said I would be. His positivity is contagious and it helps a lot when you’re dealing with an injury.

Experiencia fantástica: Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about biomechanics. He genuinely wants to help patients achieve their goals (rehabbing or preventing injuries, achieving a race goal, etc.). I started working with Ryan after a running injury left me unable to move without pain for several months. I also attended one of his strength programs designed for runners. Ryan's great at identifying mechanical issues and coming up with a plan to correct the underlying issue. He takes time to explain the underlying issue and path forward so that patients so understand why they are doing certain exercises. I really appreciated this. I'm a much stronger athlete and runner after working with him for almost a year. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for a physical therapist in the Denver area!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Ryan is great, he listens to the aches and pains you describe and doesn't dismiss them for his own agenda. Also, a PT plan is tailored to you for recovery without upselling devices, supplements, or other expensive items that other Physiotherapists may try to push on clients. 10/10.

Experiencia fantástica: I've had experiences with several different PTs. I've even had experience with Ryan in a different setting. You can tell by the amount of time and attention that Ryan gives to you in these sessions that he set up this practice for the love of his profession. He takes the time to listen to everything you have to say, ask insightful questions, fully test everything relevant, and make sure you leave knowing exactly what to do to take your recovery into your own hands.
