If you’re frustrated with quick fixes that don’t last, it’s time to explore a smarter, more sustainable approach to Massage & Manual Therapy. With over 35 years of hands-on clinical experience and more than two decades teaching therapists at all levels, Ricardo offers practical, effective solutions that go beyond surface-level treatments.
At ASMT, we specialize in delivering the highest level of clinical Massage & Manual Therapy treatments—focused on results, precision, and long-term healing.
Our techniques are performed slowly, painlessly, and methodically, with a strong emphasis on precision and effectiveness. Every session is deeply sedating to the nervous system, yet highly targeted to address complex spinal, postural, chronic, and sports-related injuries.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing long-term pain, or seeking advanced therapeutic care, ASMT offers a clinical approach grounded in decades of hands-on expertise and real-world results.
At ACMMT, we welcome individuals who have tried multiple therapies for postural imbalances and chronic pain—only to find little or no lasting relief.
Our specialized ASMT techniques are performed slowly, methodically, and with minimal discomfort, focusing on identifying and treating the root causes of soft tissue and structural dysfunction—not just masking the symptoms.
If you’re seeking a deeper, more effective approach to long-standing pain or postural issues, ACMMT offers advanced clinical care grounded in decades of hands-on experience and proven therapeutic results.
Massage & Manual Therapist
Ricardo is a graduate of the Mount Royal College Massage Program and brings over 30 years of experience in massage therapy, manual therapy, and osteopathic techniques. Like many dedicated therapists who pursue continuous growth, he has expanded his career to become an author, conference speaker, clinical supervisor, and innovator. He developed his own specialized approach—ASMT (Advanced Science Massage Therapy)—which integrates principles of orthopedic massage, manual therapy, and osteopathy into a unique and highly effective style.
With more than 20 years of competing as an elite runner, Ricardo deepened his understanding of body mechanics, movement, anatomy, and discipline. This passion for both therapy and athletics has shaped his expertise, allowing him to combine his clinical knowledge with real-world performance experience.
Over the years, Ricardo has shared his knowledge as an instructor of massage and manual therapy at all levels and currently serves as a clinical supervisor at the Canadian Institute of Chinese Medicine in Calgary.
“I love being a therapist,” Ricardo says. “It has taught me more about how the body functions and moves than I could have ever imagined. This career has been deeply rewarding—not only in learning about the human body, but also about life, personal growth, and human behavior.”
Through decades of practice, Ricardo has created and refined techniques that deliver fast, effective results for a wide range of muscular, postural, and skeletal conditions—making his work both innovative and transformative.
