Today we’d like to introduce you to Ricardo Ruiz.
Hi Ricardo, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
The long story started back in 2008 while still in high school. We had a big career day project where you had listen to real life business, balance a checkbook and have housing. One of the guest was a massage therapy business that I don’t recall. The person explained how the body works and how a LMT (licensed massage therapist) could help others heal and have a better quality of life. I completed the project, graduated, and started working. Six years passed and I constantly felt there was something missing in my life. There was one year where I had six jobs on the search for that one thing that was going to make me change the world. Fortunate enough, my wife (girlfriend at that time) encouraged me to think about what that one thing was. I mentioned massage therapy and she helped me search for schools and schedule interviews. Once I found what felt like the right school, I commuted to it. Two weeks into the school program, I KNEW IT! This is what I was born to do and something I would continue building on. Now I change the world one person at a time. Here’s why… if the person I just provided massage therapy to is kind and friendly after our session. Then they will make someone else’s day better and have a snowball effect. Once world peace is achieved, know I started it.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Deciding to venture out in my own has been a smooth journey and one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. There have been some “struggles” but i see them as a moment of learning and growth. One of the reasons that it’s a smooth journey is because everyone has been supportive and has helped me grow. Community is the key.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Restore and Recover Therapy?
At Restore and Recover Therapy I provide Therapeutic massage therapy and NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT).
Therapeutic massage therapy is where I use all of my modalities I have learned through the years to best help the person I’m working on.
NKT is a muscle testing therapy that allows me to find dysfunction in the body and be able to create a functional kinetic chain.
What sets me apart from other LMTs is that I am not scared to say “I can’t help you” I will refer to other professionals with more years of experience, different therapies or personalities that will best suit the client. I will make sure that the client gets the best treatment and sometimes that may not be from me.
I mainly focus on movement and mobility. NKT has truly changed the way I treat and approach the body for the best outcome possible.
What im a proud about my brand is that it provides a safe, welcoming and supportive space for what you need.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
How can people work/collaborate with me?
A collaboration would have to be wellness related and be of help to others. Nutrition, hydration, mental health or anything sports related. The main goal is always to help others.
How can people support me?
Tell your friends and family that what I provide is for the well being of others.
