Hi, I’m Ricky, a Health & Fitness Professional with over 20 years experience in Osteopathy, Naturopathy and Exercise.
I use a combination of these disciplines to help people reverse chronic disease, resolve stubborn symptoms, transform health, and develop a lifestyle that makes it easy to sustain good health.
I treat a wide range of common ailments including muscle & joint pain, sports injuries and metabolic health issues. My success is built on developing trusting relationships with my clients. This allows me to focus on addressing the root cause of poor health instead of just trying to achieve a ‘quick fix’.
“I was told I had fibromyalgia about 30 years ago and since then have been on a range of pain killers, anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants, I think I have tried everything in the book. I was also diagnosed with gout, and more recently an MRI scan revealed I had osteoarthritis of my spine and a fatty liver.
In 2018 I was on Gabapentin 100mg three times a day ( a relatively low dose) Duloxetin 100mg daily and co-codamol 2 tablets 3 or 4 times a day, more often than not it was 4 times. Because of the side effects I was also having to regularly take Movicol for constipation, Ranitidine for reflux and Cyclizine for nausea. Needless to say I was still in pain, drowsy, uncomfortable, and in a very dark place…… I decided it was time I took back control of my health and called Ricky.
That was the start of my journey back to health. Since working with Ricky I have completely changed my diet, I have come off all the medication mentioned above, I have lost 20lb in weight and now only go to bed to get a good nights sleep, I wake early and can’t wait to get out of bed and get on with my day, I have so much more energy now, and I can’t believe I am the same person.”

In late 2020 I accessed a webpage that set me on a journey that would introduce me to a holistic approach to attending to the challenges of living with cervical spondylosis. I was then in my 50’s and upon learning of my condition was rather worried about how to handle my discomforts.
My interactions with Ricky Brown changed all that. His approach was unique in that he both educated me on what could be done in a participatory way to alleviate and manage discomforts as well as to inform me on the nature of the body and how it works.
As an osteopath he would help with manipulations, acupuncture and taking one through exercises but the onus was always according to him…..on my participating with my own betterment by making some life changes and taking responsibility to work on “not adding to the problem” through either apathy or indulgence. He was gentle and firm and extremely respectful.
I felt so at ease with him that I recommended my wife to see him too on some muscular discomforts she was having. She too found him to be unique & helpful and yes, very respectful. It makes a huge difference to older people when they are made to feel at ease and are not treated with condescension. Where they are heard and are advised “to what is realistic for where they are” and not to “some idealised possibility that is far from where they are”.
I highly recommend anyone to seek Ricky Brown’s stewardship in seeing you through what is “realistically possible”. By God’s good grace, you will be more than satisfied in what you will find.

My Story
My life as a health and fitness professional began at the age of 19 when an injury abruptly ended my career as a Royal Marine Commando. That turning point fuelled my interest and passion for the science and art of recovery and performance. I retrained as a Sports Therapist and Personal Trainer, and began to inspire others on their path to greater health and vitality.
In the years that followed, my work took me around the globe, eventually leading me to London, where I started as a Cardiac Rehabilitation Instructor. This involved helping people recover from near fatal cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. I was then selected to help launch The Third Space, London’s most exclusive health club, where I coached a diverse clientele, including international athletes and A-list celebrities.
After 11 exciting years of personal training, I realized I wanted to go deeper and acquire the tools to address the rising tide of lifestyle related symptoms and chronic disease that I was witnessing around me. In 2011, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Osteopathy and Naturopathy.
Today, I bring over 20 years of experience across fitness, wellness and primary healthcare, to help people reverse chronic conditions, and transform the way they feel, look and perform.
