Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
"Fortunately, I did get the opportunity to work with a couple of patients diagnosed with arthritis during my internship. One particular patient was a manual laborer and was experiencing a high amount of pain in their shoulder due to the diagnosis. The big win with this patient was working with his employer's HR department for workplace accommodations to enable him to keep working on a full-time basis while being pain free."

"When I see a patient diagnosed with arthritis, my main goals are to help them live pain free while still being able to enjoy the things that they love in life. Arthritis can be extremely painful for individuals so I begin by recommendations for adaptive equipment to items around their house. I have worked with patients to get them compression garments to help with their pain while sleeping as well."

"My patients that are suffering from Arthritis benefit from my therapeutic activities and exercises to promote gross and fine motor control, range of motion, endurance, and strength. I've found that together we can improve functional abilities with daily tasks such as self-care, home management, and work and leisure activities."
