Our Approach
Informed by Science, Guided by Wisdom
Holistic, Integrated, Individualized
Grounded in Chinese medicine, Dr. Ryans treatments are informed by biomedicine and osteopathic manual therapy. Applying Eastern wisdom with Western science is a powerful way to restore and maintain your well-being. It allows Dr. Ryan to diagnose and treat the multiple factors involved in the emergence of your disease.
Treating the Cause, Not the Symptoms
The focus of Dr. Ryan’s treatments are to restore musculoskeletal integrity, organ function and mind-body equilibrium, which will ultimately rejuvenate your vitality and re-establish your true well-being. By offering guidance on diet, meditation and qigong Dr. Ryan enables patients to take control of their well-being with an individualized and sustainable routine.
Mind-Body Medicine
Dr. Ryan’s holistic, integrated approach aims to treat all the factors in the unique presentation of your condition, restoring bodily functions and mental-emotional well-being.
In Chinese medicine the mind and body are one. Thus, all disease, on some level, is psycho-somatic or “somato-psychic.” Both physical and psychological stresses are crucial factors in dis-ease development and the healing process.
Nutrition
What we eat is part of the treatment. Dr. Ryan holds a degree in nutrition and uses food as a tool for healing — guiding patients toward a balanced selection of foods that support digestion, sleep, immunity, and steady energy.

Meditation Guidance
In Chinese medicine the mind and body are one, so changing the mind changes the body. Dr. Ryan and Ana teach meditation grounded in a Chan (Zen) lineage, tailored to each person's experience, goals, and physical and emotional needs, with age-appropriate methods for children. Practices range from movement forms like qi gong to sitting methods for breath, mantra, and mindfulness. Regular practice reduces stress and eases depression and anxiety. Learn More
Collaboration
Dr. Ryan welcomes an integrative approach across medical disciplines.
Any practitioner sees a patient through their own lens, based on their own medical training, and benefits from the perspective of other well-trained practitioners from other fields of medicine.
Dr. Ryan has a long history of coordinating medical care across disciplines. He will work with your current providers, and, whenever helpful, refer patients to his experienced and trusted network of physical therapists, osteopaths, physicians and therapists.
