Training and rehabilitation techniques formally reserved for professional athletes could be the answer to what is slowing you down — or worse — stopping you from leading the active daily life you desire.

My name is Mike Ryan and I am a 46 year old Baby Boomer. For over 20 years I have worked in the Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Field as a Licensed Athletic Trainer and Registered Physical Therapist working with some of the World’s Top Athletes in the world of professional football on a full-time basis.

Also a devout athlete, I have competed in 100’s of athletic endeavors from Ironman Triathlons to the Empire State Building Run-ups and other challenging activities. As I grow older, I, like most, experience aches and pains, but wish to — and plan to — continue the activities which are so much a part of my lifestyle.

I developed this Web site because I know the state of the art methods I use, previously reserved for elite athletes, can help Baby Boomers continue to be very active and physically fit well into their retirement years!
