Helping You Move Better, Recover Faster, and Stay Pain-Free

Richard Kan

Meet Richard

I'm an experienced Sports Chiropractor with a strong affinity for a wide variety of sports, built up over many years. My own athletic journey spans an exhaustive range, from earning a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do to playing futsal (indoor soccer), field hockey, netball, rugby union, Oztag, basketball, badminton, squash, running, Kung Fu, CrossFit, pickleball, and even paintball. This breadth has shaped my understanding of how athletes move and what their bodies need to perform.

I completed my education at Macquarie University, graduating with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Chiropractic. My commitment to the field was recognised in my final year as a student, when I was awarded a scholarship from the Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS), the foremost global organisation representing Chiropractic in sport.

With years of experience in high performance sport, I've had the privilege of working with athletes of all levels, including preparing a number of international athletes for the Olympics, Youth Olympics, Commonwealth Games, CrossFit Games, Powerlifting World Championships, Ironman World Championships in Kona, and the NSW Opal Bowl (American Football).

Outside of the sports arena, Richard has a simple appreciation for life's pleasures.

He is a food enthusiast who enjoys culinary delights (and talking about food a lot) and shares his time with his cherished 'furry son,' Arrtoo. Richard's diverse interests and dedication to health and well-being make him a versatile and compassionate professional who enriches the lives of those he serves.
