Ryan White is a certified massage therapist that specializes in deep tissue, neuromuscular and myofascial release.  He provides solution-based treatments to help clients with injuries and chronic problems.  This means he wants to help his clients find a solution to their issue with massage and movement therapies. The soft tissue techniques that he uses relieve congested muscles by breaking down scar tissue, open and flush out trigger points, and increase circulation to specific areas. These techniques also give more space to joints so that they have increased freedom of movement. Ryan feels that massage and movement in combination are a very effective way to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, develop proper body awareness, move more efficiently and provide an overall sense of well being.

Even though Ryan focuses his work on joint specific issues he sees the body as a whole and encourages full body awareness.  He encourages clients to understand and practice good biomechanics.  Once faulty movement patterns are identified and corrected the whole body benefits.  The benefits come by not wasting energy on inefficient movement and by changing reflex patterns to stimulate proper postural balance. Postural balance organizes the body so that it works with gravity.  Without this, it is constantly being stressed and fighting against gravity which causes a lot of soft tissue problems.  Ryan believes this can help one to feel strong and confident while at work or doing daily tasks.

Ryan graduated from the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado(MTIC) in 1995. While there he received a letter of Honorable Mention for excellence in the study and practice of integrative massotherapy. He continued his massage training at MTIC by taking a year two program that focused on joint specific myofascial release, Chinese movement and energy techniques, structural balancing through a ten session model based on the Rolfing ideas, and movement therapies to encourage proper/efficient movement. He also has a BA in Adult Fitness and Exercise Science from Metropolitan State College of Denver.  He furthered his education in movement therapies by becoming a Pilates instructor through the PhysicalMind Institute.

Ryan is available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays from 9am-5pm.
