David Ryland
(Doctor of Physical Therapy- Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist - Certified in Orthopedic Manual Therapy. IAOM fellow in training.)
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, David received both his Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Cleveland State University in 2016 and 2019, respectively. Post PT school, David realized there was still much more to be learned and found the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine – US (IAOM-US) a resource to help further his education. As of May 2021, David completed the IAOM-US Residency program. He moved up to Alaska with his wife, Eva, to refine his skills in physical therapy with the goal of becoming a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist. David is an experienced runner and has raced every distance from the 100-meter to the 100-kilometer, his favorite being the trail 50k. He has a goal of running “The Chugach Front Linkup,” which enchains the 12 highest peaks in the Chugach Front Range. The run is approximately 32 miles with 21,000 feet of elevation gain. If he’s not in the clinic or running, you can find him rock climbing, camping, or working with kettlebells.
