About Us

Ryan Jones is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who completed his  training at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. His work is grounded in  classical, principle based osteopathy and an understanding that the body  functions as a connected whole. Through gentle, non invasive manual  treatment, Ryan supports the nervous system and encourages the body to  regain control of its own healing process. His focus is on creating  sustainable, long term change for individuals experiencing both acute  and chronic concerns.

Ryan learned about Exeter Massage and Integrative Care through a  colleague while searching for a professional environment centered on  patient wellbeing. When he visited, he was immediately struck by the  warm and welcoming people, the calming atmosphere, and the integrity of  the practitioners who currently work within the clinic.

Ryan’s decision to pursue Osteopathy began with his appreciation for  its unique philosophy. Osteopathy considers the entire body and its  functioning systems, using assessment to understand where something has  gone off course and gentle manipulation to bring about change. The  approach interacts with the nervous system in a way that allows the body  to re establish balance. In Ryan’s words, no other healthcare modality  offered a perspective like this, and the fact that it works is what  inspired him to commit fully to the profession.

His personal experience also shaped his journey. After eighteen years  working as an electrician with Hydro One, he developed severe back pain  that affected his ability to participate in daily activities and  healthy movement. Within six months of receiving osteopathic treatment,  he regained his function without the need for surgery. The experience  reaffirmed his belief in non invasive care and strengthened his desire  to offer the same possibility to others.

Ryan’s background in the electrical and farming industries gives him a  deep understanding of the physical demands of manual labour. He has  seen how repetitive positions and daily strain can affect the body. This  experience informs his treatment approach and reinforces his goal of  helping people maintain their health so they can continue doing the  things that matter most in their lives.

What he finds most meaningful about his work is the ability to  provide gentle, effective support that relieves pain and encourages  healing. Connecting with individuals and helping them leave in a better  condition than when they arrived is one of the most rewarding parts of  his practice.

Ryan completed the four year Master of Practice Diploma in  Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy  in Hamilton. His education included immersive training in osteopathic  theory, classical osteopathic philosophy, anatomy, physiology, and the  functional relationships within the body.

He spent six months each year in a supervised clinical setting at the  school’s public clinic where he gained significant hands on experience  treating a wide range of age groups and health concerns. This training  helped him develop the skills needed to practice safe and effective  manual osteopathy.

Ryan is also currently completing Compassionate Inquiry, a trauma  informed therapy program developed by Dr. Gabor Maté in collaboration  with leading trauma and addiction specialists. This additional training  supports his goal of offering a safe space for clients who benefit from  talk based therapeutic guidance alongside manual treatment.

Ryan welcomes individuals of all ages and backgrounds and has no  preference regarding the conditions he treats. He believes everyone  deserves access to gentle, effective care.

He wants patients to understand that osteopathy works with the whole  body, using a gentle and logical approach to encourage change. His goal  is always to help the body move with as little restriction and pain as  possible.

Ryan describes his treatment philosophy as a whole body approach that  considers all the moving parts beneath the surface. By creating change  in one area, the rest of the body can begin to function more effectively  and without obstruction.

Ryan grew up on a farm outside of Lambeth and has strong connections  to the community. He has been happily married for twenty three years and  has three children. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys travelling, yoga,  and ongoing education that supports both personal and professional  growth.
