Ryan Jansen
Ryan Jansen is a physiotherapist and Feldenkrais Practitioner whose journey was inspired by his love of sports and personal experiences with numerous injuries. He graduated in physiotherapy in Western Australia in 1997. Over time, his enthusiasm for the traditional physiotherapy model began to wane as he observed how uniquely individuals move and respond to regimented treatment.
In his early twenties, Ryan was fortunate to encounter the Feldenkrais Method. His first Functional Integration (FI) session was unlike anything he had experienced before—it felt almost magical. This experience led him to re-evaluate the use of touch as a way to invite change.
This discovery sparked a passion for Awareness Through Movement (ATM), which he continues to explore through a dedicated and ever-inquisitive personal practice. Delving into ATM refines his actions and enhances his ability to work with others.
Over the years, Ryan has become known as a physiotherapist who specializes in applying the Feldenkrais Method. The method has increasingly influenced his practice, and he now works primarily as a Feldenkrais Practitioner, integrating his extensive physiotherapy knowledge and experience. His expertise includes working with individuals in pain, understanding complex diagnoses, and supporting post-surgical recovery.
Ryan frequently works with individuals who have not responded well to mainstream medical services or who may have been disappointed by conventional approaches. His clientele ranges from people living with chronic pain to elite athletes. The precision and depth of the Feldenkrais Method enable clients to discover new ways of moving, enhance performance, rehabilitate injuries, and recover from physically demanding events.
The majority of Ryan’s work involves one-on-one FI sessions, where touch and movement are used to help clients improve various aspects of their lives. He also runs workshops, often tailored for health professionals, introducing them to the principles and strategies of the Feldenkrais Method.
