Ryks (he/him) is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) hailing from small-town Comox, BC. After obtaining his diploma in Massage Therapy from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in Victoria, he learned to love this bustling little community he now calls home. Now, as a practising healthcare professional, Ryks is dedicated to providing comprehensive rehabilitation through evidence-based manual and exercise therapies.
As a therapist, Ryks is a listener first, and a talker second, ensuring a patient-centered approach that puts the needs of those under his care foremost. A fundamental belief he holds dearly is that no patient should have to advocate for themself to get the care they deserve, and that the hard part should end as soon as they set foot in his office.
Patients who find the most success working with Ryks are those with a strong willingness to improve, whether from orthopeadic or neurological injury, pre and post-operative conditions, or chronic concerns.
Despite being new to the profession, Ryks yearns to understand the nervous system, having studied it with great curiosity through his education. In treating chronic and neurological conditions, he draws inspiration from works such as ‘The Brain That Changes Itself’ by Dr. Norman Doidge, and ‘The Master and His Emissary’ by Dr. Iain McGilchrist, leveraging neuroplasticity to improve patient outcomes.
When he’s not at work, Ryks enjoys long-distance running and swimming, exploring the beautiful Canadian west coast to which he belongs. Otherwise, you’ll find him indoors playing the guitar or enjoying a good video game.
