Dr. Ryan Kalkbrenner visited my CrossFit class to present a clinic on shoulder pain prevention.For most of the last year my shoulder had increasing pain, stiffness, lack of strength and reduced movement.I could barely reach overhead without pain.After the clinic, Dr. Ryan offered an evaluation at his office.He found what I was struggling with, asked my goals, and determined how he could help.Through testing, he determined what was contributing to my problem and created a map to pain free fitness and full potential.Over several months we met weekly as he developed progressive mobility and strength exercises, I could build upon.Dr. Ryan provided explanations and videos of the exercises. These helped me correctly perform the exercises and understand how they help.He was always available to answer questions about adapting CrossFit workouts to my situation.Dr. Ryan provided specific mobilization exercises for me to perform before any workouts with overhead movement.Now I am pain free and just competed in the CrossFit Open for my 15th year in a row.Thanks to proper assessment and diagnosis, consistent therapy sessions, effective communication andone to one specialized personal attention from Dr Ryan at Precision Fitness Physical Therapy!I believe Dr. Ryan Kalkbrenner, PT, DPT, OCS is the outright best.I highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Ryan with significant pain and an audible click in one elbow and with sciatic pain in one leg. After 4 months of PT and prescribed exercise, my leg is now pain-free, and I have virtually full use of my arm without pain. I'd been so afraid my arm would require surgery. And I'm feeling better about getting more regular exercise too!... More

The progress has been incredible, and for the first time in over a year, he’s pain-free and performing at his best.If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly skilled physical therapist, I highly recommend Dr.Ryan and Precision Fitness. Thank you for giving my son his confidence and strength back! Less

After working with Dr. Ryan for the last six months I can confidently say that he has helped me on my healing journey in SO many ways besides simply programming. After doing functional fitness for 3.5 years, I experienced a nerve pain/injury in the beginning of 2024 that prevented me from even being able to go for walks without taking a break. When someone goes from hitting PRs, and pushing themselves as hard as they can in their workouts suddenly experiences an injury or a setback, it is really challenging to mentally and emotionally cope with needing to step back (sometimes several steps) to take time and the necessary action steps to heal. Dr. Ryan understands this aspect, and I was so grateful to never feel judged for the emotional side of my months-long setback. He is intuitive, curious, professional, and supportive of the healing process in whole. His knowledge is otherworldly, and he customized my programming to fit what I was able to give. He went above and beyond what I would ever expect from working with a PT. I am forever grateful for mobility, health, and for now spending majority of my time being a 0-1 level of pain as opposed to the 7-8 level I was living with on a daily basis prior to working with Dr. Ryan. Thank you SO much for majorly improving my quality of life!! I am forever grateful!! Less

I went to Ryan after having an L4-L5-S1 Lumbar Fusion. Right away I could tell this was not your typical physical therapist. His dedication and focus on the client and not only my needs to be able to return to work, but also my wants. Before surgery I was in the gym regularly lifting weights and expressed to Ryan that I would like to get to a spot where I could return to the gym. Ryan stayed dedicated to helping me achieve this goal. Over the 3 months I spent working with Ryan we did both hands on work as well as gym work. He communicated with me often to make sure that I was progressing and doing my exercises at home and provided detailed instruction and changes along the way to make sure that I understood each exercise in detail and felt confident that I could perform them. I am confident that I would not have progressed as quickly as I did and to the level that I had without the knowledge and work that Ryan put in. If you’re looking for a physical therapist that is dedicated to his clients wants and needs, I highly recommend you reach out to Ryan at Precision. Less

I spoke with Ryan and he evaluated the situation and came up with a game plan. Over the next 12 weeks, we worked on mobilization and strength work.

You are not one of five people he is working with at one time. His attention and focus is solely on you, I am back in a situation where I am back on plan for Crossfit and building my mileage back slowly to get back into running form. I can't recommend Ryan enough. His expertise and knowledge are top notch. If you need physical therapy there is no one better to deal with. Less

After working with several other PTs I have learned the most from Precision Fitness Physical Therapy. Dr. Ryan Kalkbrenner goes beyond explaining how to complete an exercise, he provides the details on how all the parts of a muscle group work together to affect the rest of your body. As a crossfitter, I am very aware of my large muscle groups, but through my work here, I have become far more aware of all the smaller muscles that play a role in moving successfully. When starting with PFPT my goal was to minimize back aches after certain exercises. Now after several sessions I'm working towards getting stronger in all my lifts, and have been able to translate my new muscular awareness into higher skilled moves. Less

I'm playing Ice Hockey in less pain, my Golf game is improving because of increased range of motion in my swing and am achieving more in the gym as a Cross Fitter.

Ryan checks in and is available to address any questions or concerns I have in between sessions. I still have a ways to go, but I already feel stronger.

Prior to starting PT with Precision Fitness Physical Therapy, I was experiencing a dull, constant, and nagging pain in my neck for over a year due to looking at a computer screen all day while working. I was unsure if anything could be done about my pain because it had been going on for so long. Within 3 sessions with Precision Fitness, most of my pain abated completely. Since then, I have gotten stronger and have not dealt with neck pain while at work for the first time in over a year. The approach Precision Fitness takes is very personalized to your needs. I was able to text, email or call my PT any time with questions to tweak things between sessions. All of my sessions were 1 on 1 for an hour with my PT and no other patients being treated at the same time, which meant I received a lot of hands on care to make my neck feel better early on. I would absolutely recommend precision fitness PT to anyone who has been dealing with pain for long periods of time that thinks there may not be a way out there to address it. Less

Doing Physical Therapy with Dr. Ryan has been a fantastic experience. From day 1, he assesses your goals and lifestyle to make a plan for success. He does an in-person assessment, to conduct a root cause analysis. In my case, he assessed that some of my back pain was coming from my foot that was throwing off my hip alignment and creating the back pain as a result. He treats the cause, not just the symptoms of pain. Every medical professional I have seen told me my back would not improve and I should alter my lifestyle and cease weightlifting & exercise, but Ryan said the opposite! We have even used weightlifting and exercise to help resolve some of my issues too. He makes a plan to get you back to where you want to be on day 1. Also, every session is a 1-on-1. There aren’t 30 other people in the room doing exercises with the Physical Therapist “checking in” on your progress every few minutes. You get a full hour of dedicated service from Ryan. I have only been working with him for a few weeks, and my back pain has been greatly relieved! Less

Working with Ryan has been amazing. I work as a resident physician and run competitively as a sprinter, and suffered a torn calf from a freak accident where I couldn’t walk without a boot for the first two afterwards, but after working with Ryan for the past 8-12 weeks, I’m sprinting and jumping again! Plus he helped address other imbalances in my body and all my lifts have become stronger and my other ached and pains have mostly gone away. He’s very thorough, current with the literature and studies, adaptive, and he frequently updated the training to keep pushing me when I needed and slowed down when I need to. He’s very intuitive, responsive to feedback and altogether, I thought working with him was exactly what I needed. I would recommend him for anyone who is interested in staying active, participating in sports at any level from recreational sports to even the professional level! Less

My journey through physical therapy with Dr. Ryan was different from all other PT I have previously experienced. I've had osteoarthritis for more than 10 years and have been through PT at least three times in the past for my knees. I had a very bad flareup this past fall, despite taking prescription pain medicine. I couldn't walk, or do any of the other things that I love. I went to go see my ort... More

My journey through physical therapy with Dr. Ryan was different from all other PT I have previously experienced. I've had osteoarthritis for more than 10 years and have been through PT at least three times in the past for my knees. I had a very bad flareup this past fall, despite taking prescription pain medicine. I couldn't walk, or do any of the other things that I love. I went to go see my orthopedist and we were considering steroid shots and moving up a knee replacement that we were hoping to put off for decades into the future. He encouraged me to try PT one more time, then I met Dr. Ryan. He had a new technique called Blood Flow Restriction therapy, which involved working out with cuffs around your leg to decrease the amount of blood flow. I did this for several weeks and had incredible success. I no longer taking pain medication and I feel stronger than I did previous to this flare up. I am golfing, hiking, and doing everything better than I was prior to my pain onset. As a part of graduation, Ryan tapered me off blood flow restriction and wrote an extensive exercise program for me to continue on my own. I would recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone looking to avoid knee surgery and get back to what they love! Less

He gives his undivided attention while working with you , was available for consults as needed , knows how to push you just the right amount, great problem solver , very knowledgeable & encouraged me with the blood flow restriction technique so I could recover faster with my knee replacement , thinks outside the box when needed AND very empathetic with patients -Simply the best ! So sad he is no longer in Virginia ! Less

I was in a car accident that resulted in a torn quadricep and shattered knee cap. Since then, I've battled chronic knee pain. Luckily, I got back into PT and met Ryan.

I was in a car accident that resulted in a torn quadricep and shattered knee cap. Since then, I've battled chronic knee pain. Luckily, I got back into PT and met Ryan. Ryan is smart, friendly, and has a genuine passion for helping patients. Ryan introduced me to BFRT (Blood Flow Restriction Training) which creates a more efficient workout without hurting the injured area. This thing is no gimmick. After just a couple sessions, I noticed an increase in function and a decrease in pain. For the first time in a decade, I've been able to walk golf courses and sit for long periods without pain. Thank you, Ryan! Less

Ryan is an excellent physical therapist. His knowledge of the relationship of pain to muscles/joints is excellent. More importantly, he takes a bespoke approach to his clients, adjusting the therapy to their specific needs. Ryan did miracles when I experienced unrelenting neck pains related to spondylolisthesis last year. I met Ryan when he worked at the Jackson Clinic in Tysons Corner, Virginia... More

Ryan is an excellent physical therapist. His knowledge of the relationship of pain to muscles/joints is excellent. More importantly, he takes a bespoke approach to his clients, adjusting the therapy to their specific needs. Ryan did miracles when I experienced unrelenting neck pains related to spondylolisthesis last year. I met Ryan when he worked at the Jackson Clinic in Tysons Corner, Virginia after several attempts at pain relief at other facilities. His gradual and methodical approach cured me of the pain and I have continued to follow his physiotherapy regimen since. Less

Back in July I somehow hurt my back. It wasn't from an isolated incident... probably a combo of a squatting program I was doing coupled with old gymnastics injuries and, as much as I hate to admit it, age 😣 During open gym at CrossFit Apex I happen to be talking to one of our members, Ryan Kalkbrenner who shared with me that he was a physical therapist and would be more than happy to do an evalu...

Back in July I somehow hurt my back. It wasn't from an isolated incident... probably a combo of a squatting program I was doing coupled with old gymnastics injuries and, as much as I hate to admit it, age 😣 During open gym at CrossFit Apex I happen to be talking to one of our members, Ryan Kalkbrenner who shared with me that he was a physical therapist and would be more than happy to do an evaluation. At that time I could not pull any weight from the ground, couldn't even come close to doing a pistol, experienced pain when squatting, and couldn't sleep. It hurt to stand or sit for any length of time. I was a mess both physically and mentally. Since then I have been working with Dr. Ryan weekly and omg he has been a life saver!!! He has helped me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. He has helped me with my core strength, hip strength, back stability, and overall mobility. If you are an athlete of any kind or if you are experiencing any type of pain, discomfort, or lack of mobility, I cannot recommend Dr. Ryan enough!!! He is so knowledgeable in the human body and movement. He knows as athletes we can't stop working out so he makes it so we can. He is friendly and extremely professional. I cannot rave about him enough. Given he is an athlete himself, he gets it. He knows the mindset and wants his clients back to their regular routine as quickly as possible. Ryan has an office at CrossFit Apex in Souderton and is currently taking outside clients.. You do not have to be a member of Apex to see him.... although you may sneak a peek at what we do and be intrigued !!! Thank you so much, Dr. Ryan!!!!!! Less

If you take away nothing else from this review, please take this. . . and I cannot overstate this: Dr. Kalkbrenner is, in a word, phenomenal. He is knowledgeable, personable, articulate, creative, and dedicated. That is likely all you need to know. If you’d like more details, please continue reading. I have been an athlete my entire life. In my youth, I enjoyed virtual invincibility. As I have aged, however, I have begun to struggle with injuries (I’ll be 54 in a month) and have worked with several physical therapists before meeting Dr. Kalkbrenner. In the fall of 2021, the tip of a bone spur broke off into my right Achilles tendon. The two surgeries I had to correct the problem weren’t as successful as I had hoped, and being an athlete, it was extremely hard to be out of commission for so long. It wasn’t until February of 2023 that I finally began to make significant gains, and by then, everything had atrophied, and I was feeling quite depressed. My case was not a simple one; it was like playing whack-a-mole with my body parts. As I strengthened the heel, the knees began to hurt. As the knees improved, the hamstrings began to hurt. As the hamstrings improved, the lower back hurt, etc. All through the process, Dr. Kalkbrenner was there. Unlike other PTs, Dr. Kalkbrenner knew how to treat each varied issue. And every time I’d come in, often feeling somewhat depressed by my physical plight, he’d listen, come up with a plan of action, articulate that plan to me, and invariably have me feeling more positive by the time I left. It was like having both a mental health and a physical therapist in one person. Additionally, even after our appointments ended, he would continue to think about the issues I was facing and would come up with creative solutions to them. How do I know? He was so dedicated that he would often text me with his ideas in the evening or on the weekends! Over this summer, I finally returned to all my normal activities and sports. I don't know how I would have gotten there without him. As a result, I say with no equivocation, if you need stellar, world-class physical therapist, your search should end here with Dr. Kalkbrenner.

The road to acl recovery can be a difficult one, but Dr. Ryan was there to support me every step of the way through both my good days and my bad days. Dr. Ryan also gave me a personalized exercise plan based on my specific needs and checked in frequently between sessions to ensure I was doing okay. Less
