PT, DPT, Cert. DN, Titleist Performance Institute Certified
Ryan Griesenauer, PT, DPT, earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from
Indiana University before completing his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northwestern
University.
Ryan began his career in orthopedic and sports physical therapy, developing a strong
foundation in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and movement
dysfunction. He is certified in dry needling and is a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified
clinician, specializing in golf rehabilitation and performance. He later expanded his clinical
experience into performing arts and entertainment physical therapy, working with touring
musicians, performers, stage professionals, and other members of the entertainment industry.
This experience has given him a unique understanding of the physical demands placed on
individuals who rely on their bodies for their profession and performance.
Ryan takes a holistic approach to physical therapy, focusing on identifying the underlying
contributors to pain and dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms. His treatment
incorporates hands-on manual therapy, including dry needling and cupping, movement
assessment, therapeutic exercise, and consideration of the mind-body connection, lifestyle, and
daily habits that can influence recovery. He believes that understanding the whole person is
essential to developing an effective and personalized plan of care.
Ryan is passionate about developing meaningful relationships with his patients and providing
the time, attention, and individualized care necessary to help them move better, feel better, and
return to the activities and lifestyles they value most.
