Richard Brown

Position: Medical Director

I am the owner and clinical director of The Lansdown Clinic, a large multidisciplinary orthopaedic centre in Stroud, Gloucestershire. With over 17 years experience in private practice as a chiropractor, I have a particular knowledge in the management of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. I have a specialist interest in sports injuries and performance management and work with elite athletes at Commonwealth and Olympic level.
I am the first team chiropractor to Cheltenham Town Football Club and also provide chiropractic services to other professional and semi-professional football clubs. My facility in Stroud boasts four chiropractors, a chartered physiotherapist, a podiatrist/chiropodist, a sports therapist, a personal fitness trainer, a clinical massage therapist, rehabilitation unit, x-ray unit and Pilates studio. The clinic has close links to MRI centres, orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bristol.

I am a former senior lecturer at the University of Glamorgan and I am on the board of governors at Europe’s largest chiropractic training institution in Bournemouth. I also chair the Professional Standards Committee of the British Chiropractic Association and lecture nationally and internationally on a wide range of health topics. I was awarded a Fellowship of the College of Chiropractors in 2001 and a Fellowship of the British Chiropractic Association in 2006. I am currently studying for a Masters Degree in Medical Law at Cardiff University.

I have been the personal chiropractor to Centurion Racing’s Daniel Cooper for four years. In this capacity I have been involved in sports conditioning, performance enhancement and optimal healthcare management. In the close season following his British 125cc Championship victory I worked worked closely with Daniel to ensure that he goes into the 2007 British Supersport season at the highest level of fitness.

I am delighted to join the Centurion Racing team as its medical director. With extensive experience of a multidisciplinary approach I will ensure that riders have access to the highest levels of healthcare to maintain optimal performance.
