Dr Richard De Bois - B.Chiro Sc., DC, DTCM Registered with the General Chiropractic Council, Member of The Acupuncture Society, and the British Register of Complementary Practitioners, Registered Exercise Professional.
As an ex-gymnast, coach and personal trainer I always knew that staying fit and active were important to keeping well and pain free. However it wasn't until I traveled to China as a coach with the Australian Gymnastics team that I realised something was missing in my approach to "wellness". I realised that there were limitations to what we can do for ourselves and that I could be doing more to help people achieve their health goals . I then decided to study Chinese Medicine and Chiropractic because Chiropractors are the specialists in the musculoskeletal field. By using a combined approach of Chiropractic and Acupuncture I discovered that I was able to help people regain their health and to stay there. This was the missing link.
I am a member of the United Chiropractic Association and registered with the General Chiropractic Council (No 04479).
Chiropractic Education and Qualifications The journey of my chiropractic education began with a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science from Macquarie University Sydney where I graduated in 2010 with the award of Vice-Chancellors Commendation for Academic Excellence. Then after emigrating to France I continued my studies at the Institut Franco-Européen de Chiropraxie graduating with a Level 1 Masters Diplôme de Chiropracteur in 2015 and was subsequently awarded a Doctor of Chiropractic by the European Academy of Chiropractic.
