About Us
Michael Ryan
Michael Ryan is a certified aging in place specialist (CAPS) and a practicing physical therapist based in Fair Lawn, NJ. With 19 years of experience in physical therapy, Michael has co-owned a clinic with his brother, Daniel Ryan, for the past 7 years. He has always enjoyed treating patients and rehabilitating them within the clinic, but has now expanded his care outside the clinic to help clients modify and renovate their homes so they can age in place safely.
Michael’s goal is to apply his expertise in aging in place, universal design, and physical therapy to ensure that his clients can prosper and thrive in their homes for years to come. He is one of the only physical therapists and aging in place specialist fully licensed and insured in Bergen County, NJ, who is able to evaluate a patient’s functional limitations and disabilities and go out to their home to modify and/or renovate their home to ensure a safe and enjoyable home environment.
In his personal life, Michael lives with his wife, two daughters, and enjoys hiking, traveling, and doing anything outdoors.

He gained significant experience working with patients in the North Jersey area before opening his own practice, Specialized Physical Therapy, with his brother, Michael Ryan.
As a physical therapist, he became increasingly interested in helping clients maintain their independence and quality of life as they age, which led him to become a CAPS-certified professional. Dan’s work as a CAPS-certified physical therapist showed him how small modifications to the home could have a huge impact on a person’s ability to live independently and comfortably.
Dan is dedicated to helping his clients live safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes for as long as possible. He resides in Hawthorne, NJ with his wife, Debbie, and their two daughters.
