Christian Ying R Kin, CAT(C), BA Honours, Dip SIM, Osteopathic Manual Therapist

Christian Ying is a Registered Kinesiologist and an Athletic Therapist (AT) and currently practicing as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (DOMP). His love of sports and the desire to help others with their injuries and pains had led him to become an AT. He completed his studies at Sheridan College to achieve his dream of becoming an AT in 2007. Moreover, being taught by DOMPs at Sheridan, has lead Christian to pursue a career in osteopathy with the main goal of treating the whole body, not just the injured area.

A holistic approach is what Christian believes in and strives to achieve with each client that he treats. He also believes that if the practitioner helps bring the body back into balance it has the ability to heal itself. He has been working as an AT for about eighteen years, but midway through his AT career he became very interested in the connection between the body’s systems and how to treat them in an orderly manner that Osteopathy brings forth. He has completed his training and successfully defended his thesis at the Canadian College of Osteopathy. Christian is also graduate from York University with a BA Specialized Honours in Kinesiology. This has helped him become a keen observe of the human body.

Christian is here to help and serve each and every client he meets to the best of his ability and knowledge. He looks forward to meeting people from around the community.
