During the last 7 years, Richard has specialised in rehabilitating clients post injury, illness and surgery whilst continuing to work with personal training clients.

In 2016 Richard qualified as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and since then his advice has been featured in various articles in publications such as Men's Journal, Organic Authority and Spark People.
