Dr. Jarryd Leung, DC, MS, CCSP

Originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Jarryd has a deep-rooted passion for sports and athletics. He played four years in the British Columbia Hockey League for the Powell River Kings and Prince George Spruce Kings. Jarryd earned a hockey scholarship and pursued his undergraduate studies in Kinesiology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. During his final year at Wilfrid Laurier, he served as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Men’s Hockey Team while also conducting research for his undergraduate thesis, which resulted in a published article as a co-author:

 

McCarthy, S. F., Leung, J. M. P., & Hazell, T. J. (2021). Is a verification phase needed to determine VO2max across fitness levels? *European Journal of Applied Physiology*, 121(3), 861–870. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-020-04559-3

 

Throughout his hockey career, Jarryd faced numerous injuries and underwent extensive treatment in chiropractic offices and physiotherapy clinics. This firsthand experience inspired him to pursue a career in sports chiropractic. Jarryd attended the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Doctorate of Chiropractic. Additionally, he completed a Master of Science in Sports Medicine and became a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® (CCSP®), acquiring valuable experience working with both active individuals and professional athletes.

He prioritizes providing outcomes and results tailored to each client’s specific goals. He also designs personalized care plans aimed at achieving desired outcomes.

When Dr. Jarryd is not in the office, you’ll likely find him on the golf course, on the ice playing hockey, or at a brewery trying a new beer and spending time with his wife Rachel and his dog Jasper.
