Meet The NW Austin Clinic Team

Dr. Ryan Seifert, PT, DPT
Ryan Seifert is a well-known Physical Therapist in Austin, TX and is Owner of Natural Fit Therapy, one of the fastest growing clinics in North Austin.
Ryan is a former college athlete and a leading pitcher for his University of Redlands baseball team. After his time at Redlands, he went on to graduate school to earn his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Chapman University in Orange, California. Not only did he learn the foundations that make him such a great PT, he found the love of his life (and now wife) Laura. Laura herself is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a member of the Natural Fit Therapy team. The Seifert family live happily in North Austin with their three little boys.
Ryan specializes in balance training as well as treatment of back pain in adults 50+. He and his diverse team of therapists specialize in helping adults 50+ stay healthy and maximize their activity without pain pills, injections, or surgery so they can fully enjoy the retirement they’ve worked so hard for.
