"...I can't express what a difference it makes to once again be free from chronic pain -- it has changed my whole outlook on life and improved my mood dramatically. I am now able to comfortably run 10+ miles, bicycle for several hours and swim over 2500 yards (resume my normal triathlon training regimen) and do so with zero pain. I'm also a much nicer person to be around :)  I am so relieved to know that chronic pain is not a sentence for the rest of my life, and I don't have to accept that as part of the 'normal' aging process..." Mira

"... Today I start each morning with Somatic movements and I am living a much fuller and more active life than I have in years. Ryan’s expert instruction and knowledge have allowed me to enjoy more days on the water or restoring my classic boat. Somatic movement taught my muscles how to relax again instead of being in a constant constricted state. Thank you Ryan!"  Dan R.

“Thank you Ryan Moschell! Truly amazing, after one session my chronic back pain of 30 years was reduced to almost nothing. Everything has been easier, walking, standing, sitting, better balance, easier breathing, etc… Not only am I out of pain but I feel even closer and more connected with my horses through my seat. What a great feeling..."  Felicitas

"To say that Ryan & Somatics changed my life would be an understatement. Ryan helped me to open my eyes & educated me through the most difficult time of my life. I have been in chronic pain since 2006, and for the first time in 9 years, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My husband and I searched for years and years for something, anything that would help alleviate my pain."  Ali

"I have suffered for more than a decade with pain that resulted from abdominal surgery.  Over the years I had several more surgeries to address the issue, but after a year or two, the pain would always return.   Frustrated with the limitations of western medicine, I began to try alternative healing techniques and was led to Ryan.  He has taught me..."   Karen

"My first ride after the sessions: Due to confidence problems over the last few years, I had too much of a thigh grip in the saddle. This time I did not and my horse went into the canter so much smoother and I was able to follow the motion much more fluently. Also, in riding the image is conveyed “let your legs hang down like a wet towel draped over your arm”. Well, I think I felt this for the first time. My instructor told me after the first canter depart to do that again so that your horse will know you have changed an this is the “new you!”  Evi

So a week later, last Saturday, I paid a visit to Ryan in Annapolis. He listened attentively to my issue and asked a few questions. Within minutes, Ryan had figured out what the problem was and knew how to fix it. After a few movements, I immediately started to feel some relief. I left the studio with some instructions which I have followed, and I can honestly say that after only 2 days of following these instructions and taking the 10 minutes-twice-a-day needed to continue improving, I feel like a new person."  Anne

“I had struggled with low back pain for over 3 years and had almost given up hope of finding real help. What I read about Somatics made a lot of sense to me and I was delighted to find a “practitioner right here in Annapolis.."  Kathy

“I first came to see Ryan a year ago for help with some chronic back, shoulder ,and hip issues that caused me pain and interfered with my ability to garden. I had had lots of bodywork previously but found Ryan and Somatics to provide me with relief and newfound comfort in moving."   Barbara

“I’ve had back and neck pain most of my life. I’ve tried everything from chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and physical training. When my massage therapist was no longer able to see me as a client, I began seeing Ryan for massage. I learned from reading and some of his explanations about Hanna Somatic Education and was intrigued..." Christina

"I canceled my previously scheduled appointments and instead went to see Ryan to experience and learn more about how Somatic Education could help me.  It has changed my life!  I now am almost entirely pain free.  The best thing about it is that I am in control of dealing with my issue—I don’t have to rely on a doctor, therapist or chiropractor to temporarily “fix” me.  It was very empowering to take back control of my life through my Somatic education.  As a result of my sessions with Ryan..."  Claire

"Ryan has an incredible healing and calm presence and guided me through five sessions in his Annapolis office during which I felt immediate relief and rebalanced. Part of his work is to educate you to how to do these movements well enough to do them at home. From there I was be able to do theses exercises daily to rebalance from life’s demands especially being a Mom in my 40’s to a very energetic toddler..."  Pam

"I started out thinking that having to do exercises at home would feel like a chore, it has actually become something I look forward to, a way of coming home to myself when I start feeling “off” or notice tension or pain beginning to arise. While learning the Hanna Somatics Method has been helpful, it needs saying that I have found it especially beneficial to work with Ryan one to one."  Ingrid

"After seeing a friend with a bad back, out power walking and playing golf, I had to find out what the difference was. She told me about Somatic movements and Ryan Moschell."   Bill

I’ve been seeing Ryan now for 10 years as a massage therapist. When I started seeing him I was struggling with diabetes, on multiple medications, over weight and in pain almost every day from fibromyalgia. Over the years I have lost weight, I’m running half – marathons, gotten off most of my medications, and most of my pain is now manageable. My life is very busy managing a real estate office, caring for my husband, being a devoted mother and soon to be grandmother, and training for more half – marathons.  So day-to-day stress still builds up. Recently I was having painful symptoms of what had been diagnosed as fibromyalgia..." Trish

"Since I started seeing Ryan Moschell for clinical one-on-one Somatic sessions I have noticed a number of changes that I find to be very positive. I can comfortably pick up my shoes from the floor first thing in the morning. Previously I had been too stiff for at least an hour to do this. I also have no more “rice krispies” when I turn my head. My foot, (when I check in at random times), seems to be more often in “neutral”.  I had very slight neuropathy..."    Roz

“I just wanted to take a second to shout out to Ryan Moschell and thank him for going over some Somatics with me, getting results even while 3000 miles away, to alleviate a strained tricep muscle from my Cross-fit class!  I was able to workout the next morning without any pain or extended soreness."  Lauren

“ I am a chef and a bartender, and Annapolis has it share of tourists, but never so much as Sailboat Saturday.  I was called in 7 hours early to help so I spent almost 17 hours walking, bending, standing, running, arguing, settling, pouring, dicing, counting, writing, dealing with stressful customers, and by the end of that I was in a type of agony that I’ve never felt before."  Nikki

"Ryan had been telling me there was a way I could alleviate the pain/tension and regain flexibility myself on my own. I agreed to start one-on-one Somatics sessions. In just one session I noticed a major difference in my ability to turn my neck further without pain.  The movements I learned and practiced helped me to continue the process of releasing my neck from its stiff and painful state."  Eileen

During the first session I mentioned a place on the back of my neck that I was sure was post surgery pain and had been diagnosed as inflammation/scar tissue. Ryan acknowledged the diagnosis but reminded me to leave open the possibility that what I was feeling could stem from Sensory Motor Amnesia. At the end of the session I had no pain in that spot for the first time in years. When I came to the next session a few weeks later Ryan asked me how my neck had been feeling. I had to think and check in for a minute and then I realized that I felt NO PAIN..."  Sharon

“My husband was skeptical when I first told him about Somatics. What caught his attention was when we golfed 36 holes this past weekend not only was my shoulder pain free but all of my drives were all 20-30 yards longer than they had ever been. My husband asked what I had been doing differently and I said the only thing that has changed is my Somatic training with Ryan..."  Paula

“My Somatics sessions with Ryan have been nothing short of magic! I came to Ryan with tightness and pain in my left upper arm/shoulder, mid back, and a tight IT band. I really wanted to enjoy my retirement, yet these issues where beginning to affect and limit all areas of my life…After attending my one-on-one session..."  Chuck

“Since learning Somatics with Ryan, I have had a lot of relief from chronic pain originating in childhood injuries, including severe shoulder and neck pain, migraines, and diaphragmatic breathing issues. I am grateful and relieved to see some light at the end of the tunnel..."  Felicia

"The benefits are Amazing… increased neck and shoulder mobility, my chronic hip bursitis is alleviated! Having been a lifelong asthma sufferer I can use the breathing techniques and chest/ back stretches and contractions to calm my chest tightness and asthma reactions to allergies and pollen sometimes even without the aid of medication. It is a huge step for me to not feel the panic from a tight chest and asthma symptoms..."  Elizabeth

“Sometimes you have an experience that really changes you for the long term.  Although it made sense in my mind, I still had doubt about the potential effects of Somatic..."  Dustun

"Having gone from attempting chronic pain management, and the realization that this chronic state and the “management” of it was what I had to look forward to for the rest of my life, as well as the possibility of having to quit my passion for my physical well being, to now having gained CONTROL..."  Amy

"Most recently, he was able to alleviate a lower back strain and a very sore elbow both incurred as part of abnormal heavy lifting to complete a move into a new home.  These issues were resolved the day after the specific session." Greg

“I really love Ryan’s somatic work because he provides the tools so that I can continue on my own.  Those exercises really make a difference for me.  While I was on travel my right shoulder was suddenly hurting.  After performing the exercises the pain went away." Marion

"... Ryan is a masterful instructor and is very patient as you are guided through movements that may seem difficult to grasp at first. When you experience Somatics, you’ll find that your body can be very relaxed and that your specific problem areas can be feel better.”  Don

"Sensory Motor Amnesia. What an elegant concept and since I have reaped some of the benefits it’s even more exciting than a mere academic correlation. Thank you!”  Pete
