Mr Danny Nguyen MChiro (Hons)
Growing up in Hamar, Norway with a Vietnamese family background, Danny developed an appreciation for health, culture, and the value of compassionate care. Seeing his own parents achieve great results from chiropractic care, inspired him to pursue a career in chiropractic which led him to study at AECC University College in Bournemouth. During his education, he worked as a care assistant for elderly and disabled individuals, providing him with a broad understanding of patient-centred care in different clinical settings. With a developed passion for physical exercise, Danny began teaching Taekwondo at a young age, which served as a springboard to his interest in coaching.
In his final year of university, Danny expanded his focus by leading a Movement Club, emphasising functional training and rehabilitation. He also applied his strength and conditioning expertise to AECC’s volleyball team, supporting his fellow athletes in enhancing performance and injury prevention. These varied experiences have equipped Danny with a well-rounded, patient-focused pathway to chiropractic care, where he incorporates his hands-on skills with his drive to support self-management.
Outside of work, Danny enjoys calisthenics and sports activities that align with his philosophy of movement as a key to overall health. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge on exercise and loves travelling, being a foodie, and spending time with his significant other, friends and visiting family.
Danny is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (Reg. No.: 05991) and is a member of the British Chiropractic Association. He looks forward to working with you to relieve pain, restore function, and help you achieve your health and wellness goals!

CT Herholdt
After qualifying at the Durban University of Technology in 2003, C.T. travelled to Ireland where he practiced for 2 years. On leaving Ireland, he worked in Middlesbrough for two years before joining a clinic in Maidstone in 2007. In 2012 C.T., together with his wife Ingrid, started Blackfen Chiropractic Clinic.
C.T.’s first introduction to chiropractic was as a teenager, when a neck injury from playing rugby led to him seeing a chiropractor. It was his first impression of the chiropractic adjustment and the effect that it could have on a person’s health that motivated him to study chiropractic.
C.T.’s enjoyment of sports has led him to work closely with local sports teams, but it’s the challenges of a family based practice that C.T. finds most interesting and rewarding.
Since qualifying, C.T. has continued to be a keen student of chiropractic. In 2012 he attained his Advanced Certification in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT). He is currently embarking on coursework in Chiropractic Neurology.
C.T. is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (Reg No: 02456) and is a member of the British Chiropractic Association.
