Still in Pain After Trying Everything?
Watching Your Performance Slip Away

Losing Confidence in Your Body
When every run, lift, or practice comes with uncertainty, you may start second-guessing movements and worrying that pushing yourself will cause another setback.
Missing the Sport and Activities You Love
The longer pain keeps you sidelined, the more races, games, training sessions, and everyday activities you may miss while waiting to feel like yourself again.

"Ryan is not a fly-by-night big box PT that triple books appointments and bills you for time he spends with someone else. He somehow mastered the balance of pushing me when I wanted to quit, talking me off the ledge when recovery felt endless, and delivering just enough humor to make the misery tolerable. Equal parts expert, coach, and unofficial therapist."

"Ryan explained the concept of a mind-body approach to pain reprocessing — a way to heal from chronic pain from within yourself. I have been seeing Ryan for a few months and am improving. In addition to all of this, I am now also migraine free. A lifetime of debilitating migraines to zero."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?
1
No. Kansas is a direct access state, which means you can schedule your first appointment at MindBody PT without a physician referral. You can start care today.
What is Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), and is it right for me?
2
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence-based approach that uses neuroplasticity principles to retrain your brain's pain signals — helping your nervous system exit 'protection mode.' In the Boulder Back Pain Study, 67% of participants were pain-free or nearly pain-free after 8 sessions, and 55% remained pain-free at the 5-year follow-up. PRT is especially effective for chronic pain lasting 3+ months, including fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, chronic migraines, chronic neck pain, low back pain, chronic muscle pain, and high stress due to pain.
How long are sessions?

Your first evaluation is a comprehensive 60-minute (up to 90-minute) visit. Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes. Every session is one-on-one with Ryan — no aides, no students, no distractions.
