Results Matter
You don't have time to waste on stuff that doesn't work. At the end of the day, it's the result that matters. At SmartBacX Labs, we get it. Let's do this.
BFM det in Key West didn’t hurt.
“I was starting to hurt prior to BFM set in Key West. I met with Doc Ryan virtually before flights started. She told me what to do pre and post flight. The first week in, she asked how I was doing. “Fantastic!” I would do my exercises every morning, and if I flew, I repeated them after the flight. It works.”

There’s PT, and then there’s Doc Ryan
Doc Ryan and her spine knowledge sets her apart from regular PT. I spent months in PT, and nothing changed. I took time off of work and could be on the flight line. I didn’t get better. I saw her, told her what hurts, and she told me what I needed to do in one walk in session. I got better and stayed better. Doc Ryan equals Readiness for aircrew.”

These exercises made my back pain go away.
I’m fit and I still have back pain. I came up through the ranks as a helicopter pilot. My back still hurts. I’ve tried chiropractors, I do Cross Fit, I run, and still I have pain. What she shows me took my pain away. Now I work out without pain. “

My hamstring pain went away
Doc Ryan presented a workshop in our ready room. She helped me understand my hamstring tightness was nerve tension, not muscle. She showed me why stretching hadn’t helped. Right there, she told me what I could try to get rid of the tightness. I did what she said, and the tightness was gone. One session.”
