Ryan Juntilla,
Registered Massage Therapist
As a passionate climber, Ryan has experienced firsthand the toll that physical activity can take on the body. One particular injury - A severe shoulder strain - left him with limited range of motion, causing him to worry that he might never climb at full capacity again. However, after just one session of massage therapy, he was amazed to regain full range of motion, allowing him to return to climbing at 100%. This transformative experience inspired Ryan to pursue a career in massage therapy, where he could help others recover, improve mobility, and enhance their performance. With a deep empathy for athletes and active individuals, Ryan is dedicated to providing effective treatments that aid in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and overall well-being.
