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.
Transform your life & take your first step towards becoming PAIN FREE!
