Dr. Ryley has an extensive background in the field of movement and athletics. As an ex-national team and varsity men’s artistic gymnast, much of his life has been spent in the gym training, fine-tuning movement, treating injuries, aches and pains while working with and alongside coaches, therapists, kinesiologists, and sports doctors.
After retiring from sport, Dr. Ryley then transitioned into the role of a high-performance NCCP Level 3 coach over the past 16 years, while at the same time pursuing an undergrad in eastern philosophy, completing a bachelor’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and growing a successful medical practice in NW Calgary.
He is most passionate when it comes to the integration of the western and eastern medical sciences. He often places his focus on the role that one’s capacity and quality of movement play when it comes to overall health.
Course Description:
This 4-hour intensive introduces a practical and clinically applicable approach to channel theory, designed to bridge classical acupuncture concepts with modern understanding of movement, posture, and neurophysiology.
Participants will learn how to see, feel, and apply channel relationships through the lens of functional anatomy, myofascial connectivity, and nervous system regulation. Moving beyond memorization, this course provides a structured system for understanding how channels express through the whole body—and how to influence them effectively using both distal and local acupuncture strategies.
