Sarah

Chiropractic Assistant

Sarah joined the Optimal Chiropractic team in October 2024, but she’s already become an invaluable part of the patient experience. As a Chiropractic Assistant, she wears many hats -answering phones, booking appointments, taking scans, gathering new patient histories, and guiding patients through exercises and stretches. Her calm, friendly energy helps create the welcoming atmosphere the clinic is known for.

What Sarah enjoys most about her role is seeing the transformation in patients. “I love watching people improve over time,” she says. “The clinic has such a calm, supportive energy, and it’s a great place to be.”

Sarah’s own journey with chiropractic began after years of struggling with back pain. “I expected it to be painful at first,” she admits, “but the care was gentle, personalised, and incredibly effective.” Since then, her mobility and quality of life have improved dramatically – an experience that fuels her passion for helping others discover the same benefits.

One of the biggest surprises for Sarah has been learning how versatile chiropractic care really is. “It’s not just about back or neck pain - it can support so many different parts of the body and overall wellbeing.” She’s also keen to clear up a common misconception: not all chiropractic care involves dramatic cracks and adjustments. “There are different techniques,” she explains, “and most are very gentle and pain-free.”

To Sarah, what makes Optimal Chiropractic unique is its patient-centred culture. “Everyone here is focused on getting the very best outcomes for the people we care for. And the patients are so engaged – they do their part too, which makes a big difference.”

Her motivation every day? Watching the journey from pain to freedom. “It’s amazing to see people who came in struggling start to feel strong, healthy, and full of life again. That never gets old.”

When she’s not supporting patients, Sarah enjoys a wide range of mindful activities, including reading, reformer pilates, and yoga. Recently, she’s been diving into the world of gardening in her new home, working on her green thumb one plant at a time.

Sarah has an impressively diverse background – she’s a qualified journalist, dog groomer, and dog trainer!

Her happy place is anywhere peaceful and quiet, far from the hustle and bustle, and being around family and friends is the one thing that never fails to make her smile.

I have been attending Optimal Chiropractic for the last six months to say that my life has transformed would be an understatement. I no longer live in constant pain or fear of my body not being able to tolerate daily tasks. My life has changed in such a positive way after 10 years of pain. I can’t recommend Dr. Ben and his colleagues highly enough.

I have been going to Optimal Chiropractic with over just 2 months now and already can feel the difference for years I have suffered joint muscle and lower back pain been to all physio's chiropractors over the years they could never get it fixed but Optimal is different the research and modern way of finding the root cause of your problems is second to none the team are brilliant always makes it easy to explain how your feeling and works around your own schedule with appointments etc couldn't recommend Optimal enough

I’ve been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Ben and his team for more than three months, and i couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Ben, Matthew, and Kishan are all incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. Sarah and Mary are always so warm, welcoming, and helpful, making every visit a pleasure. The progress didn’t happen overnight—it took time, consistency, and the dedication and hard work of Dr. Ben and the entire team. Session by session, i began to notice improvements, and looking back now, i can say it has been life-changing. Today, i sleep much better, migraines and high blood pressure gone, i have far more energy throughout the day, and even feel that my vision and focus have improved. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how I respond to stress— i feel calmer, more patient, and more in control, and overall i feel healthier, stronger, and more balanced than i have in a long time. The positive changes have had a huge impact on my overall wellbeing and quality of life. I’m so grateful to Dr. Ben and the entire team for their care, support, encouragement, and commitment throughout my journey. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional chiropractic care. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

After years of severe back problems, chronic pain, and stiffness that affected my walking, standing, and everyday life, I started treatment with Optimal Chiropractor last October. The improvement since then has been incredible. I genuinely feel like I have my life back and finally feel my age again instead of constantly feeling older due to my symptoms. I’m amazed by the results and so grateful for the care and support I’ve received throughout my treatment. Ben is incredibly understanding and really takes the time to listen, treating every concern and point you raise as equally important. That level of care and attention has made such a difference to my experience. The whole team are so friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is always relaxed and comfortable. Mary, the receptionist, is extremely helpful and is a real credit to the team. I would highly recommend Optimal Chiropractor to anyone dealing with chronic back pain or mobility issues.

Amazing! Everyone on the team is lovely and so helpful from the minute you walk in. They know you personally and the treatment is next to none. The team takes the time to go through your individualized plan and answer any questions. They have really helped me in the 8 weeks I have been with them. Couldn’t recommend more!

I took advantage of the €40 assessment offer on FB and I am delighted that I took the chance. I was blown away with the complete initial assessment, which includes scans, balance tests etc. and highlighted the exact areas that I was struggling with. After 2 months, the reduction of the pain /discomfort levels in my lower back and neck is significant, as well as a dramatic increase in flexibility and range of motion. I am sleeping better and feeling more rested as I am not waking in discomfort during the night. The biggest plus for me is the lack of the 'crunching' noise that I was so anxious about and shared with the team at my initial consultation.. The adjustments are comfortable and relaxing and I don't even have to take my shoes off!! Every member of the team in Optimal Chiropractic is welcoming and professional, there is very little waiting around with their efficient scheduling and the ambiance is bright and airy. I would highly recommend.
