Richard Skippings graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in 1985 and moved back to Yorkshire the same year where he took up a position in the Roundhay Chiropractic Clinic in Leeds, where he worked for three years. He opened the clinic in Thirsk in 1988 when he was ready to branch out on his own and bring chiropractic to a new area. He has always been active in the work of the profession, both on the Council of the British Chiropractic Association and in the College of Chiropractors where he was invested as a Fellow of the College in 1999, and in 2004 he attained a Specialist Fellowship from the Sports Faculty. In January 2006 Richard was appointed as the Chairman of the Faculty of Sport & Exercise of the College of Chiropractors and in 2007 he was elected to serve for a term of three years. In 2008 he was appointed to the Education Commission of the Federation Internationale de Chiropractique du Sport with the remit of helping to organise and standardise post graduate education for Sports Chiropractors around the world. Richard has specific responsibilities within Europe.

Richard has a particular interest in Sports Medicine. He is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician and is currently studying for a Masters degree in Sports Injury (Medicine) at Sheffield University which he has completed to the level of post graduate diploma, just the dissertation to complete for the MSc award.
