Ryo Tamanaha
Seitai Manual Therapist / MLB Massage Therapist
mobility & balance / natural healing / sports recovery
Ryo was born and raised in Japan's southernmost islands of Okinawa. He played baseball on a college scholarship until he injured his elbow. After surgery and navigating several therapy treatments, he was able to recover and play his senior year. Although his baseball career came to an end, this sparked his journey to become a manual therapist to support athletes like himself who suffer from injury. After several years training in SEITAI therapy methods and experience running a clinic specializing in mobility and athletic performance in Japan, Ryo moved to Los Angeles to become a certified massage & sports massage therapist. In 2023, he opened his own practice in San Diego. He currently works as a Major League Massage Therapist for the Philadelphia Phillies.
