Our Chiropractors
Ally Fry MChiro DC
Doctor of Chiropractic
Ally’s journey into Chiropractic began through her own experience as a young elite gymnast. After sustaining a significant hip injury, Chiropractic care enabled her to avoid surgery and continue training. Years later, following ankle surgery, further treatment and rehabilitation supported her return to sport and competition. Experiencing first-hand the impact Chiropractic care could have on performance and recovery inspired her to pursue the profession herself.
Gymnastics has always been a central part of Ally’s life. Before qualifying as a Chiropractor, she worked for five years as a gymnastics and tumbling coach, supporting everyone from pre-school children to competitive elite athletes. She understands the physical and mental demands of the sport and remains passionate about working with gymnasts, now supporting them from the clinic rather than the gym floor.
Alongside her Chiropractic degree at the AECC University College, Ally worked as a Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist. She later undertook additional training in pregnancy massage, reflecting her belief that hands-on muscle work plays an important role in effective treatment. She also incorporates medical acupuncture (dry needling) into her care to help patients move and feel their best.
During her studies, Ally completed a paediatric placement where she worked with newborns, midwives, and mothers, supporting common musculoskeletal complaints in these early stages of life. This experience broadened her perspective on Chiropractic care and reinforced her expertise in treating patients of all ages.
Ally is passionate about helping people stay active, recover from injury, and maintain long-term physical function, whether they are elite athletes, busy parents, or growing children.
Ben Goodall MChiro DC
Doctor of Chiropractic
Ben is a chiropractor and former Great Britain tumbling gymnast, where he was a two-time Junior British Champion and placed 3rd at the World Age Group Championships in Tokyo in 2019.
His career in gymnastics first introduced him to Chiropractic, which played a vital role in keeping him performing at the highest level. Since retiring from gymnastics, Ben has shifted his own training towards a hybrid approach, balancing strength work with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and preparing for upcoming marathon and ultramarathon distance trail runs. This personal commitment to health and resilience underpins the way he works with his patients.
Although Ben’s background is in elite sport, his passion lies in helping people of all ages and abilities, from children and retirees to wheelchair users and stroke survivors. He is currently undertaking specialised training in clinical neuroscience with the Carrick Institute, focusing on conditions such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems, eye movement disorders, and other neurological symptoms.
Ben graduated with First-Class Honours in Chiropractic from AECC University College in 2020. Dedicated to continuous learning, he co-authored a paper published in the Journal of Chiropractic & Manual Therapies during the pandemic.
Alongside his work at Optimum Chiropractic Clinic, Ben also assists a colleague in London with a remote dizziness service supporting patients with persistent balance and dizziness problems.
