Ethan Choi, R.Ac, R.TCMP, DOMP — Osteopathic Manual Practitioner & Registered Acupuncturist in Richmond, BC
Ethan Choi brings osteopathic manual therapy — a gentle, whole-body, hands-on approach — to Artemis Wellness Clinic in Richmond, BC, alongside acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He holds a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice (DOMP) and a DO qualification earned in Spain (a European osteopathic qualification, not a medical degree), and is a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) and Registered TCM Practitioner (R.TCMP) regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC).
Ethan takes an assessment-first, whole-body approach: rather than treating only where it hurts, he looks at how the pelvis, spine, ribs and surrounding tissues move together, then uses gentle osteopathic manual techniques — soft-tissue work, joint mobilization and myofascial release — to help restore easier, more comfortable movement. Where it fits the patient’s goals, he combines this with acupuncture and TCM.
He commonly works with patients on lower back and neck pain, headaches and jaw tension, posture and desk-related strain, and recovery between more active phases of care. Many patients describe his treatments as calm and surprisingly light. Ethan practises in English and Korean.
Osteopathic manual practice is not yet a college-regulated profession in British Columbia; Ethan’s R.Ac and R.TCMP registrations provide the regulated, accountable framework for his care, and he is clear about what osteopathy can and cannot do.
