Jessica Ryan, Registered Massage Therapist

Jessica Ryan

PHILOSOPHY:

Life is about change and growth, to me, that means improved health is about consistent learning. I believe the best I can do for my clients is to reinforce our sessions by providing tools that will help them create change in their daily lives. I am committed to working alongside my clients to develop a healthier balanced life!

I became passionate about learning and sharing knowledge while completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Baja, Mexico. The experience inspired me to become a massage therapist, so I could help people develop better movement and understanding of their own bodies.

As a massage therapist, my intentions are to educate and support individuals of all ages in achieving their health and wellness goals. I make use of both assessment and current research to improve function based on both a client’s current level of mobility and what they need to reach their rehabilitation and fitness objectives.

Reanna Steels, Registered Massage Therapist

PHILOSOPHY:

The human mind and body captivate me. We are so adaptable, with the right tools and mindset we can work with any physical or mental challenges that may arise.  As a therapist, I spend most of my time helping people get to know their body in a deeper sense. I employ both a hands-on and hands-off approach. My belief is that manual therapy is an appreciable tool used for temporary results, and remedial exercise is used as a way to make those results last.

In treatment, I use the two in combination to help empower my clients and guide them back to their normal lives pain-free. My approach revolves around client-centred care. When you walk into treatment, my first question is usually “what’s the plan for today?” because I want to ensure that we are meeting your needs at that moment. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel confident in your ability to navigate your health.

Keith Beavers, Registered Physiotherapist

Keith_Headshot

PHILOSOPHY:

When you are injured, the impact on your life is not just physical, but can prevent participation in important areas of your life – such as your job or sport. Without a comprehensive plan for rehabilitation it can be challenging to find a way back to health and activity. It was the dedication, patience, and skill of my team physiotherapist that ultimately allowed me to compete and achieve my goal of swimming in an Olympic final. This experience was the inspiration for my decision to pursue a career helping others to overcome their own physical limitations and achieve their own goals. My unique academic background, clinical experience, and life experience give me a distinct perspective on injury and rehabilitation, particularly with athletes, as well as the impact physiotherapy can have upon my clients’ everyday lives. I use evidence-based practice to optimize physical function and return people to healthy lifestyles and the activities that are meaningful to them.

EXPERIENCE & CREDENTIALS:

  • Master of Science in Physical Therapy – Queen’s University, 2013
  • Master of Science in Kinesiology (Physiology) – University of Waterloo, 2009
  • Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology – University of Waterloo, 2006
  • Level II Manual Therapist

  • Two-time Olympian and Olympic Finalist

Brent Helmstaedt, Chiropractor

PHILOSOPHY:

My professional focus is on helping clients better appreciate the relationship between their bodies structure and function.  Through evidence based, hands on, Chiropractic care, I am committed to helping people achieve the structural components of a truly wellness-oriented lifestyle.  By fostering proper movement, posture, function and understanding, everyone can better realize their potential.  For each of us there is a particular combination of activities and habits that can keep us healthy and happy for a lifetime.  It is my goal to help individuals grow their understanding and appreciation for their own physiology and coach them towards continual improvement, so as to better zero in on the best version of themselves.

HISTORY:

A deep appreciation for the concepts of wellness grew organically from my roots as a competitive swimmer.   Pursuing an athletic career led me to the University of Calgary where I completed a Bachelors of Physical Education, while training and competing with one of the top swim programs in the country.  My chosen sport is very much a technique driven one, and it helped breath real world understanding and experience into the biomechanics and physiology I studied.   Upon returning to Kingston I began coaching age group, varsity and masters level swimmers, which helped me appreciate the variety of approaches it takes to work successfully with people of differing ages and backgrounds.  It was at this time as a Chiropractic patient that I began to fully appreciate how the field fit seamlessly with my background and experience.  After 4 years at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, I returned once again to Kingston to set up my practice.  As the competitive phase of my life tapered off, the strength in the water it had developed transitioned nicely to my discovery of Kiteboarding.  With Kiting as the cornerstone of my current athletic pursuits, I strive to balance, family and career with fun and fitness.  I feel fortunate to have found a combination of factors that are both challenging and fulfilling.  Through my practice at Focus I hope to help others find their own combination to wellness success.

EXPERIENCE & CREDENTIALS:

  • Head Coach of the Kingston Blue Marlin swim club 1996-1998
  • Head Coach of the Queen’s University Varsity Swim Team 1996-1998
  • Co-Head Coach of the Kingston Masters Aquatic Club 1996-1998
