Meet Dr. Paige Ryan, PT

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.
