What I love about working here is the overall comradery and positive work environment, along with being able to treat my patients on an one-on-one basis for a personalized plan of care.

When I’m not working I enjoy spending his free time with family and friends, playing sports (specifically pickleball, basketball and volleyball), being outdoors, and traveling.

I’ve really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Ryan and the rest of the team (especially Kelli!). I have seen multiple physical therapists in the past and they were either too inexperienced or seemed to be much more interested in their phones than my therapy.

Every aspect of my therapy with Dr. Ryan has been meaningful and productive. He is a wealth of knowledge and has a sneaky sense of humor that helps take some of the sting out of more painful stretching/manual manipulations.

Also, every interaction with Kelli has been awesome! She is extremely friendly and on top of the scheduling, even with my need to change dates periodically.Besides that, she just seems like a genuinely nice person with a big heart.

If you are reading this review, you are more than likely experiencing pain. Do yourself a favor and call Sculpt U to take a step in making it go away. So far, it’s worked great for me over the past couple months.

I highly recommend this fabulous team of PT experts. They take great care of you (Kelli is the most efficient & organised assistant, ever) & their knowledge & communication is fantastic. Great location too @The Houstonian club.
