A Healthy Movement Business With Ryan DeBell May 31, 2017

Show notes

Ryan's Bio: "I graduated from the University of Washington's Foster School of Business. After realizing I didn't enjoy the work I was doing (and sitting there writing excel macros thinking about how much more I would enjoy teaching people how to become strong, pain free, and move their body) I decided to make a change.

The switch lead me to the University of Western States where I earned two degrees: A master's degree in exercise and sport science and a doctorate in chiropractic.

The Movement Fix is a resource, run by me, Ryan DeBell, to help you become strong, pain free, and move your body well. I believe these are fundamental human rights.
