Aiming to give you FREEDOM from PAIN, STIFFNESS or INJURY with GREAT POSTURE, NATURALLY AND WITHOUT EFFORT.
Leaving you able to ENJOY LIFE the way you want to!
I’m Liz Richards and I have been a Chiropractor for over 20 years. My background is formerly in health and fitness before becoming a Chiropractor in 1999. During my youth, I was an international competitive swimmer and life-saver and later a Triathlete and Masters Competitive Swimmer.
I worked in the leisure and fitness Industry as a life-guard and water aerobics instructor and later wrote a book called Water Workout: fitness and rehabilitation. I discovered chiropractic when at the age of 28, I sought chiropractic treatment for back and neck pain that I had put up with for 10 years. I had given up my training as a competitive swimmer because of pain.
When I saw my Chiropractor, I was told that an essential operation on my jaw at the age of 17 had unfortunately been the cause of my pain and discomfort. Within 3 treatments I was pain free and totally in love with chiropractic and changed my career. After qualifying in 1999, I moved to Gloucestershire and set up my first clinic in 2002.
Breaking my back was not going to stop me from doing what I love.
In June 2015 I rapidly developed osteoporosis and 5 vertebrae spontaneously broke, one after the other in a matter of weeks. I was out of action for 6 months.
However, when I returned to work, I found I could only manage 2-3 hours a day at most. I was in constant pain. I was short of breath and was about to consider retiring from Chiropractic altogether.
I had an associate working for me, but the treatment was so painful, and it just didn’t help. I became despondent and depressed. I just couldn’t do what I loved any more. My spine between my shoulder blades was so rounded and hunched I couldn’t even stand up straight and I certainly couldn’t lie flat.
Then, at a Chiropractic conference, I found out about a technique that could correct poor posture and after talking to the person who was teaching it, I signed up to do the basic course in Advanced Biostructural Correction™ in January 2016. I was more interested in being treated than learning how to do it.
By the time I got there, I felt so ill and was in so much pain, I really didn’t know how I was going to get through the day. I couldn’t sit or lie down or stand without pain. In fact, the only way I could sleep was curled up in my recliner chair! I didn’t even know how I was going to be able to get any sleep that night, staying in a B and B.
I arrived at the seminar and the first thing they did was take a picture of me from the side, from the front and from the back. I had to breath in, then out and let my body slump. I was so slumped forward I wanted to curl up on the floor, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to get up!
The pain relief was instant!
During the seminar one of the tutors could see I was in so much pain, he took me to one side and offered to treat me so that I could be more comfortable. The pain relief was instant.
The change in the shape of my back was instant. I was completely blown away by the difference it made with just a couple of adjustments done, very gently and standing up against a wall. This was like no other Chiropractic technique I had ever experienced. It was amazing and it didn’t hurt. The colour came back in my face.
I was no longer grey from not being able to breath properly and I could stand, sit and lie down without pain for the first time in 12 months. Needless to say; I got back to work and started treating all my patients using the new technique.
Transforming lives all over the world
The clinic has continued to thrive. I am an active Board member of Advanced Biostructural Correction Europe™ and organize training seminars across Europe. Now part of the Instructor team I help train other Chiropractors in Advanced Biostructural Correction™, I am proud to be an integral part of Advanced Biostructural Correction Europe™, helping spread the use of this life-changing technique, transforming lives all over the world.

Liz Started in 2002 when she opened Stonehouse Chiropractic clinic. She moved to Gloucester in 2012 and became Liz the Chiropractor. Since then we have continued to grow and expand and we felt it was about time we changed our name to reflect who we are and what we do.
After a name-changing competition with staff and patients “Liz the Chiropractor” became Posture Right Chiropractors in 2019.
2020 will always be remembered for COVID 19 and the difficulties and tragedies that brought on a global scale. It was uncertain and scary times and all Chiropractic clinics were advised by our governing body and all associations to close indefinitely.
After much research and reaching out to other health care professionals we realised it was our duty to help relieve the pressure on the NHS by offering treatment to key workers suffering with conditions such as back pain and neck pain.
A dentist friend gave us the PPE supplies we needed and within 3 weeks of the lockdown announcement, we were able to offer treatment in a safe environment and do our part to help. We first treated nurses, members of the police force and delivery drivers.
Word soon got out that we were able to help and so both Nick and I started treating our others as well as our current patients who were not shielding or self-isolating. Two terms i had never heard of until 2020!
Like most businesses, our admin staff all had children at home in lockdown and were unable to come to work or work from home, so it was down to Nick and I.
I soon realised that, to be able to treat everyone safely and have a safe environment for all the staff after lockdown, we needed to make the Clinic environment spacious for social distancing and easy to clean and have our own private hand washing facilities.
We closed the clinic for 2 weeks to completely refurbish the downstairs reception and treatment room. Aggy loves her new reception “booth” with its clear screens and easy-to-clean surfaces.
We bought them individual keyboards and mouse and even had 2 phones and their own personal chair so they didn’t have to worry about sharing a desk.
We put automatic hand sanitizers in and hand washing facilities in the treatment room and put in a small kitchen for staff use. Everyone loves the new space.
We are still expanding and looking for other Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists to come and join us.
Our plan is to train more qualified manual therapists, such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists to do what we do and make long lasting, life changing differences to people all over the world.
Transform your life & take your first step towards becoming PAIN FREE!
