About Daniel
Chatswood Chiropractor – Daniel Ryken
I was born on the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia. I was lucky enough to born into a fun and loving family and when I turned 14, my parents shared our family home with foster children that continues today.
Prior to studying chiropractic, I worked in a number of different fields including working with disabled people, teaching music to adults and children, after school care, and even working as a DJ and MC. During this time I gained a lot of life experience. After completion of my HSC, I like many other school leavers, was searching for my calling in life where I could incorporate the life skills that I had gained.
I was introduced to chiropractic after listening in on a chiropractic lecture at Macquarie University, purely by chance. I was inspired, and went on to do some work experience in a busy chiropractic practice in Dee Why. I witnessed a lot of people of all ages receiving adjustments, but one in particular that stood out. A baby that was having trouble sleeping, that within a minute after an adjustment, fell asleep. I was amazed, as were the parents. I wasn’t sure what the chiropractor had done at the time, but I knew I wanted to study it!
Since that day, I went on to do my Bachelor of Chiropractic, and my Masters in Chiropractic science at Macquarie University. I am certified in the Webster’s technique, a technique used to adjust ladies through all stages of their pregnancy, and has proven effective in turning breech, transverse and posterior babies. I have just completed a postgraduate program in chiropractic paediatrics to further specialise in the treatment of babies and children. I have great confidence in how I practice and am always seeking to improve this through continuing education.
I am an active member of the CAA (Chiropractors Association of Australia) and the ICPA (International Chiropractic Paediatrics Association).
Prior to joining the Feel Amazing team, I worked in a chiropractic and osteopathy practice in Manly Vale for five years, where I learnt osteopathy techniques that compliment my chiropractic work. I practiced for 4 years in Macquarie Shopping Centre, North Ryde. I established my own practice in North Curl Curl in Sydney’s Northern Beaches four and a half years ago. During this time, I have always referred to Feel Amazing Wellness Centres in Chatswood for any massage, acupuncture, or naturopathic needs of my patients. Their high level of service, attention to detail, and unique ability to make patients feel special is consistent with the same level of service I aim to provide.
My wife Kirsty and I are proud parents of a 1 year old girl Jessica, and a newborn son, Jayden. In my ’spare’ time, I play soccer for Macquarie University in the Super League competition
