Ryan Plumpton graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Algonquin College with an Advanced Diploma. His curiosity lends itself to the problem-solving nature of both orthopedic testing and manual therapy. He always seeks the best possible treatment, whether you aim for better performance or a little relaxation.
He thinks of himself as a Swiss Army Knife of RMT’s. He cultivates experience in as many forms of treatment as he possibly can. Knowing that sometimes a knot is caused by a fascial binding, or that numbness is secondary to swelling further up a nervous pathway; it never made sense to have a limited focus. Instead, Ryan ensures he has done the best to make sure he could treat anything put in front of him. Ryan has had success in treating across a range of conditions; from improving range of motion and reducing swelling following a knee replacement, to provide some badly needed pain relief to those that suffer from fibromyalgia or chronic headache.
Ryan continually updates his massage and believes strongly in health care partnership; for you to best take care of yourself, he incorporates large amounts of home-care and remedial exercise into treatments. These athletic endeavors have given Ryan a wide range of activities to draw from when providing the coaching that will help you help yourself.
Ryan has found a like-minded practitioner in working with Dr.J who shares a passion for optimizing health and offers skill sets and techniques that he doesn’t have access to.
