Lucia Ryan, PT, Physical Therapist

Verified by yext

I specialize in orthopedics, spine rehabilitation, post-op spine care and care of patients with bone density deficiency. I also treat patients with BPPV (vertigo). I have experience using the McKenzie Mechanical diagnosis, an internationally acclaimed method of treatment for spinal pain.I worked for over 15 years at The Spine Institute of New England, a clinic that specialized in the care of orthopedic spine patients. I have also been involved in a number of studies with University of Vermont Health looking at the best therapy care for low back pain patients. I have developed a special interest in working with patients who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis to help them develop a safe plan for activity and exercise that promotes improved bone density.My primary approach to treating patients is to educate them in recovery and rehabilitation, including their role in the process. I spend time understanding how a patient's injury or diagnosis is affecting their daily life and then develop a plan of care to help them through the recovery process.
