Meet Ryan Mullings, Doctor of Chiropractic
Ryan Mullings is an associate chiropractor at Peak Function Chiropractic, who discovered his calling through a personal family experience. In 2017, after his mother’s injury, he observed various healthcare practices to find a career that balanced hands-on patient care with clinical expertise. A work experience placement at a chiropractic clinic solidified his path in healthcare.
A Personal Journey With Chiropractic Care
After graduating from the ACC Chiropractic College (now Health Sciences University) in Bournemouth, Ryan has enhanced his expertise with additional certifications in dry needling and ITEC Level 3 sports massage. This comprehensive skill set allows him to provide multifaceted care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Ryan’s commitment to continuous professional development led him to join the practice, where he works alongside chiropractor Robert van Schalkwyk.
Finding Fulfilment Helping Others
“What I love most about what I do is the people – the relationships. I like being able to help people maximise living life the way that they would like to live it.”
Ryan also finds it rewarding to see the transformation of people coming in with pain and then watching them go through the process of not only getting out of pain but also focusing on how they can function in the best way possible.
Following an Integrated Approach to Care
Ryan’s approach to patient care centres on building strong therapeutic relationships and understanding each individual’s unique goals. During initial consultations, he focuses on three key elements – understanding the patient’s pain, exploring how that pain affects their daily life, and collaboratively setting achievable goals for recovery and optimal function.
His care philosophy integrates various techniques, including chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and sports massage. For instance, when treating disc-related issues, he may employ dry needling to address muscle spasms before adjusting, ensuring a deeper level of pain relief and improved outcomes.
Life Outside the Clinic Walls
Coming from a close-knit Jamaican family, Ryan brings compassion and community values to the practice. He maintains his own health and wellness through regular gym workouts, running, and playing football. An avid Chelsea supporter and enthusiastic traveller, he has explored numerous destinations, including Barcelona, Greece, Turkey, and the United States.
