Biography

[edit]

Edgar Ferdinand Cyriax was born in Canonbury,[1] London on 28 February 1874 to Julius Friedrich Theodor Cyriax, from Germany, and Anna Lina Antonia Romana Eckenstein.[2]

In 1899, Cyriax married Annjuta (Anna) Kellgren, daughter of Jonas Henrik Kellgren, Cyriax's mentor.[3] Together they had James Cyriax, Anna Violet Cyriax, and Mary Elizabeth Cyriax.[2]

Cyriax obtained his medical degree at Edinburgh University in 1901,[4] then later graduated from the Kungliga Gymnastika Central Institut in Stockholm, Sweden.

He founded the North American Academy of Manipulative Medicine together with James Mennell.[5][6] The first written description of slipping rib syndrome was described by Cyriax in 1919, who called it "Cyriax syndrome".[7]

He was 80 years old when he died on February 19, 1955, in London, England.[2] After his death, Cyriax's collection of notes, writings, and journals of gymnastics and manipulative treatment were donated to the Wellcome Library by his family.[8]
