Working with Ryan has changed my life. After having a pretty severely bulged disks L4/5 S1, I was in constant pain and couldn’t enjoy my favorite hobby, golf. After a year of working with a chain PT with little improvement I came to Ryan as a last effort before surgery. Not even 8 months later I’m feeling better and moving as good as ever. Ryan takes the time to really personalize treatment and plans out a perfectly structured workout and recovery plan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get rid of pain and improve their overall health and performance

I had an injury that was causing excruciating pain in my leg/groin area. The injury sidelined me from many activities including hockey and basic exercise. Dr. Ryan listened to my symptoms/concerns, conducted various tests and completed an extremely thorough evaluation to determine the injury. After discovering the injury and its cause, he put together an exercise plan to correct the problem by strengthening certain muscles and stretching in specific areas. It has been about 6 months since the injury and I feel better than ever. I am positive that without Dr. Ryans expertise, I would not be able to compete in my typical activities like ice hockey.

Ryan was so professional and so great at helping me create a customized plan to get my knee back to perfect health! I loved how supported I felt and how personal it was. He's the best! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Precision Fitness Physical Therapy. I was having issues related to my knee and the detailed exercise plan made a huge difference. I now have a complete exercise plan to use at the gym. The other aspect that stands out in their practice is having videos of the new exercises to refer to. Thanks, Ryan!

Since I have been a teenager, my knees would often hurt for no known reason so, I went to see Dr. Ryan. He performed the most thorough physical examination I have ever had and I have seen a multitude of different doctors over the decades for various pains that I have sustained. Dr. Ryan assured me that my meniscus was not torn and that I did not need knee replacements and better yet, that he could help me reduce or eliminate pain with focused exercise and strength training.Six months later I am no longer taking Osteo Bi-flex or any other knee/joint focused supplement and I seldom even think about my knees anymore. My knees function correctly and they simply no longer hurt, no longer interfere with walking, movement, etc.Dr. Ryan has done so well with my knees, that I have since started working with him to help me with shoulder pain. Again, after another extremely in-depth physical exam, he suggested that through stretching and strength training, I could reduce or eliminate my shoulder pain. I have been working with Dr. Ryan for a short time now on my shoulders and indeed, they are getting stronger and hurt much less than they have in the past.If you are in physical pain, I highly suggest you make an appointment with Dr. Ryan and get yourself a comprehensive exam to understand what is causing your pain and learn what your options are.

I had surgery on my left ankle(peroneal tendon repair) in October 2024. For over a year I limped and was living with moderate to severe pain with activity. I tried several sessions of therapy without relief. A friend recommended Dr. Ryan. Dr. Ryan immediately identifief the root cause of my symptoms, weakness and lack of mobility in my ankle. Dr.Ryan has worked with me for five weeks and I am pain free, walking normally and I have returned to cycling and other activities in the gym which were my primary goals. Dr. Ryan is not only knowledgeable but also is a kind, caring person and I highly recommend him.

2025-11-06T02:08:57.463Z

I had an evaluation with Ryan and was really impressed by the experience. The assessment was extremely thorough, and he took the time to clearly explain what was going on in a way that I understood. I especially appreciated that he focused on how I could safely modify my exercises to prevent further issues while still staying active. It was an informative and encouraging experience that made me feel confident about my recovery plan!

Testimonial for Dr. Ryan’s Transformative Care - A Life Changed by Personalized Treatment and ExpertiseDr. Ryan’s personalized care and philosophy truly changed my life. For years, I lived with chronic hip pain, believing that at 61 years old, there was nothing left I could do to help it. I accepted pain as a part of my everyday life, both at work and during activities I used to enjoy. That all changed when I began treatment with Dr. Ryan.His skill and unique methodology showed me a path forward I never thought possible. Under Dr. Ryan’s guidance, I went from living in constant discomfort to living pain-free. I am now able to work and play again, free from the nagging hip pain that once held me back.What sets Dr. Ryan apart is not just his expertise, but his holistic and individualized approach. I truly believe that no ordinary physical therapy could have produced these same results. Dr. Ryan’s commitment and innovative care gave me my active life back, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

I was having shoulder and neck pain. Not only did Dr. Ryan show me how I could treat my pain when it came up butvhecalso showed me how to strengthen my muscles as a preventive. Couldn't recommend more.

Precision Fitness Physical Therapy, specifically Ryan the owner and physical therapist, has provided amazing care for the past 4 months.I was previously a treated by an orthopedic physician for a rotator cuff tear approximately 5 years ago and informed then that shoulder replacement surgery was likely needed in the future. Last November 2024, I returned with minimal mobility and intense pain. The physician stated, “osteoarthritis has progressed over the years. I recommend prescription drugs to reduce inflammation and pain; surgery to replace the shoulder can occur when pain or reduced function in the shoulder can no longer be tolerated.”After a few months of following physician’s recommendations, I scheduled an introductory evaluation with Ryan at Precision Fitness Physical Therapy. Ryan spent well over an hour at this initial evaluation and performed tests that had never been done by the orthopedic physician. We aligned on a goal to avoid steroid injections and surgery, while improving mobility and strength in my shoulder. Weekly appointments (about an hour) were scheduled to include both hands on treatments of the muscles supporting the shoulder and provision of scaled exercises daily for increased mobility and every other day for improved strength.I am ecstatic with how much better my shoulder is since meeting with Ryan. I no longer take any medications and both my mobility and strength has drastically improved.I highly encourage those of you looking to treat orthopedic pains to consider Precision Fitness Physical Therapy.

I am a collegiate cross country and track runner that was dealing with an injury that prevented me from running without extreme pain. Dr. Ryan Kalkbrenner was able to help properly tend to my injury with stretching and strengthening to rebuild and leave better than I started. Throughout the process the main goal was to get back to what is important to me which is running and that's exactly what I was able to do.

2025-08-11T12:00:18.066Z

I came to Dr. Kalkbrenner with significant pain that affected almost every aspect of my daily life. Simple tasks like turning or bending over were uncomfortable, sitting for extended periods was painful, and I couldn’t run without discomfort. Eventually, I had to stop training for competitions—a huge part of my fitness routine—because of constant back pain. I was worried I’d have to give up working out entirely.Dr. Kalkbrenner not only helped relieve the pain but also gave me the tools to manage it on my own. We focused on mobility, strength, and targeted exercises so I could keep training with minimal interruption. Along the way, he helped me build new strength, ensuring I wasn’t just getting out of pain but also becoming a stronger, more capable athlete.The results have been incredible. I feel like we fixed a missing piece of the puzzle. I just competed in the Tactical Games pain-free, with better mobility and strength than ever. I can now do strict pull-ups and even hit chest-to-bar for the first time—huge wins I didn’t expect. I was also able to complete an obstacle course that required upper body strength I simply didn’t have before.Dr. Kalkbrenner’s approach has been a game-changer—keeping me in the fight and pushing me to new levels of performance. Highly recommend Precision Fitness!

Ryan is the best! He helped me get stronger and heal without losing fitness. He is motivated to get you back to doing what you love, pain free! He’s thorough, caring, and truly invested in every person he works with.

Ryan made such a difference in my recovery from an old ankle injury. He was supportive, encouraging, and truly cared about my progress. Thanks to him, I feel stronger and more confident! I’d highly recommend Ryan to anyone needing physical therapy.

When I started with Dr. Ryan I had been dealing with sharp pain in my low back, glute and hip areas for several years. I originally thought it was my SI joint and tried wearing a support belt to help it but that didn’t work. I thought maybe I needed to stop running so I got an expensive elliptical and swapped that out for my daily runs. The pain persisted. I tried physical therapy, acupuncture, low inflammation dieting and yoga. I finally gave in and went to a physiatrist. I received several steroid injections that did nothing and a nerve ablation that helped very little for a few weeks. I spent so much time, money and energy trying to get the correct diagnosis and treatment and I was feeling hopeless. I wanted to correct the problem, not be stuck on pain meds and not being able to exercise any longer. Dr. Ryan was so comprehensive and detailed in his assessment of my issue. I have seen so many different professionals over the years and none have been as thorough or methodical as Dr. Ryan. I have been working with him for a few months now and I am finally able to workout daily, sleep comfortably and go through my day without consistent pain. In fact, as long as I follow the plan and exercises that Dr.Ryan gives me, I rarely have pain. He is truly an expert on the kinetics of the body and on what exercises and stretches are appropriate for injured areas. If something caused me more pain when I tried to do it, he gave me an alternative way to do the exercise without pain or a different exercise altogether. He has helped me to have better posture throughout the day and makes sure I know the correct form for any exercise that I attempt so I do not injure myself and so that I get the most out of the movement. I truly grateful for Dr. Ryan’s expertise, care and continued dedication to my healing process.

Dr. Ryan has been absolutely phenomenal to work with to recover from a rotator cuff injury. As a competitive CrossFit athlete, Dr. Ryan was instrumental in developing a detailed, intentional, and progressive recovery plan and programming to not only return to competition, but with increased strength, mobility, and stability. Sessions with Dr. Ryan included extensive body work, strength sessions in the gym, and walkthrough of the upcoming week's programming. Dr. Ryan's familiarity with CrossFit and deep knowledge were greatly appreciated during assessments, diagnosis, answering questions, and formulating a tailored plan for me. After fully recovering, I have continued working with Dr. Ryan to further enhance my athletic abilities and overall well-being. I highly recommend Precision Fitness Physical Therapy to any athlete looking to improve their movement patterns and ability, eliminate imbalances, or looking to bounce back from an injury. Thank you, Dr. Ryan!

Ryan is an awesome PT. He genuinely listens and cares and personalizes treatments. He helped me with core strengthening that improved my strength as a crossfitter. I also had severe vertigo and I can’t thank him enough for helping me with it and getting me stable again.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ryan Kalkbrenner and would like to share my experience so that others may benefit, as well. In February, I injured my hip after a series of events while CrossFitting, playing soccer, running, and going skiing. I initially was experiencing significant pain and a loss in strength, unable to even make a simple pass in soccer. Significantly decreased range of motion and pain in my hip was preventing me from performing fairly simple exercises in the gym, like air squats and lunges. I was about 3 weeks from participating in the CrossFit Open and about 5 weeks from running my second full marathon. These were goals that I had been training for and really looking forward to. I did not want to seek medical advice, as I was concerned that a doctor was going to tell me that I should give my hip full rest and that I would not be able to participate in the Open and my marathon. I decided to rest my hip myself, and when it started to feel a bit better, I started to add in some physical activity slowly. I was hopeful that I would be able to participate in the Open and the marathon with this plan. Although my pain had gotten better and strength was coming back to my hip, I started to really worry when the pain still wasn't "better enough" the week of the Open. I decided to attend the first Open workout and planned to just "take it easy" and "see how it goes". That night, Dr. Ryan was at the gym and offering free screenings. After only about 10 minutes of assessing my symptoms and working with my hip, I was able to perform a few squats with no pain for the first time in weeks. Even better than that, Dr. Ryan listened to my fitness goals and DID NOT tell me that I would have to skip the Open and the marathon! I knew immediately that I needed to work with him. I met with Ryan the next week for an assessment and began a course of 10 physical therapy sessions. Ryan came up with a plan to help me train around my pain. I continued running and CrossFitting through my rehabilitation without pain, based on Ryan's weekly recommendations. My pain continued to decrease, my strength began to return, and I was able to participate in all 3 CrossFit Open workouts AND run my full marathon! Throughout this process, Ryan continued to listen to my future fitness goals and helped me learn how to achieve those goals and prevent future injury. It has been about 2 weeks since my last PT session. I am now able to achieve full range of motion in my hip with essentially no pain. I continue to complete physical therapy exercises based on the maintenance plan that Ryan provided me with in order to continue to strengthen my hip, prevent future injury, and achieve my general fitness goals.

I met Dr. Ryan at a free streching clinic at my gym. I had been having persistent elbow pain. He suggested I come in for a full consultation since it was apparent I had more than just a need for better stretching. I was very impressed with how he diagnosed me only after putting me through several streching movements and diagnosed me with weakness and lack of mobility in my rotator cuffs and traps. he recommended a 12 week program where we would meet once a week, and I'd have "homework" to do before out next meeting. His protocol was amazing. I've been to other PT's before and they jsut went through the motions of giving me stretches. Dr. Ryan spent the first 15 minutes of every session evaluating my progress and making neccessary changes. As I progressed, ineffciencies in other parts of my body showed up as I started to repair my original issue. The body does a great job at compensating, and when one area is fixed you become aware of other issues. We just adjusted the protocol and continued to make improvements. Now, at the completion of my therapy I feel 1000% better. I work out pain free, have gotten stronger, have the proper form and have even started to learn olympic lifts. None of this would've been possible with out Dr Ryan's skill set and protocols. If you are frustrated with your lack of progress, or haven't tried PT for a chronic issue, I highly recommend you try Dr. Ryan. Amazing practioner and excellent at getting results.
