Professional Chiropractors in Corfu, Greece

Tom & Vasilis

Chiropractic is a relatively unknown profession in Greece, let alone in Corfu. Tom and Vasilis are proud to be the first to bring chiropractic on the island by opening The Chiropractic Institute. A long journey, from studying together at university in England to working in well-established practices in Spain, as well as attending many seminars, conferences and mission trips, has shaped Vasilis and Tom to be the chiropractors they are today.

Kiki

Hey there,

I am Kiki and I will most likely be the first person you meet at the Chiropractic Institute, either by phone or when you first walk through our doors. I am here to provide you with all required information for your first appointment and to help you get familiar with both our place and your first acquaintance with Chiropractic. I will be by your side throughout this magical journey towards a better quality of life!

I hold a degree in Architecture from the University of Venice (I.U.A.V), a city that holds a special place in my heart, nestled in a country that feels like a second home to me. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in a variety of countries, including Italy, Sweden, and The Netherlands. However, in 2016, I felt the pull to return to my true home on the enchanting island of Corfu.

My passion for travel is a constant source of inspiration and excitement. Exploring new languages, cultures, music, and traditions is what truly captivates me. Witnessing the interplay and exchange between different cultures and civilizations has a profound and invigorating effect on my perspective.

A significant part of my identity is being a devoted mother to Nicolas. Our journey together is perhaps the most beautiful one of all. Nicolas has an incredible knack for keeping my inner child alive, and as a team, we embrace each twist and turn of this adventure called life. While none of us can predict the path ahead, we do have the power to choose our companions for the journey.

Manuela

Hello everyone,

My name is Manuela, I was born and raised in Naples, Italy and I have been living in Corfu for 6 years now as a “love immigrant”. At the Institute I work as a Chiropractic Assistant and my main responsibilities include the room/space preparation and all the procedures need to be done before your arrival, so that everything is ready for you.

The first time you visit the Institute, we will do some tests together regarding the functional state of your nervous system. On every visit afterwards, you will find me scanning your spine before and after your adjustments. Yet, my most important mission is to make you feel comfortable at every single moment.

Chiropractic was something unknown to me. When I started working here, a new world opened up to me. What impresses me the most still, are the positive responses and feedback of the majority of our clients to the care they receive. It’s so beautiful to watch someone improve everyday through chiropractic care.

In my free time, I am engaged in latin dances. Dancing makes me feel good physically and psychologically, as all negative thoughts go away.

TIP: As a “vera Napoletana” I love good food. I love spending time in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipes!

Milou

Woof!

I’m Milou and I am in charge of hugs and cuddles! You can find me anywhere in the Institute, although my favourite spot is the receptiont. I first met my “Human” back in the summer of 2019, when he found me abandoned by the side of the road and since then we have been together / we live together. He says he is a chiropractor and has a very nice space that fortunately allows pets. Lots of people, both young and old, sometimes even babies, come here and I’m very lucky because they like to pet me and give me a lot of attention every time they visit us.

TIP: My hair is extraordinarily soft and fluffy, so petting me is often the best way to get rid of negative thoughts!
