Hi! I’m Dr. Paige Ryan, PT, and I’m the founder of Foundation First Physical Therapy. I help parents of children with disabilities avoid burnout and feel confident in their caregiving—through personalized physical therapy, coaching, and practical, hands-on support.

​

As both a physical therapist and someone who has worked closely with families like yours, I understand how physically and emotionally demanding caregiving can be. From lifting and transferring to navigating complex systems, the daily tasks add up—and they can take a toll on your body, your mind, and your sense of self.

​

That’s why I created Foundation First: to support the caregivers who do it all.

​

I offer one-on-one pediatric physical therapy for your child, and a unique 6-month coaching program designed just for you. Together, we focus on real-life solutions—like optimizing your home setup, managing pain and strain from caregiving, and guiding you through the healthcare, school, and support systems that often feel overwhelming.

​

Whether you’re feeling unsure of what’s next, stuck in survival mode, or just in need of someone who gets it—I’m here to help.

​

With in-home visits, virtual support, and a personalized plan that works for your family, we’ll build a stronger foundation—starting with you.

If you’re ready to feel more supported, more confident, and more connected in your caregiving journey, I’d be honored to work with you.
