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.
