Prior to this, Ryo completed his physiotherapy studies including a Master of Health Science (Biomechanics) in Japan. He worked in a public hospital where he experienced seeing clients with a range of conditions, such as musculoskeletal, post-operative orthopaedics, neurological or cardiac conditions.
