Hello, I’m Kirill!
I’ve often been told I have a world-traveled look, and that's no surprise given my unique background. I'm a blend of Russian and Malaysian heritage, and I was born and raised in Malaysia.
My journey took me from Malaysia to Wales, where I pursued my dream of becoming a chiropractor, completing my studies at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic.
When I'm not in the clinic, I’m likely out and about, capturing moments through photography and videography. I stay active with running, football, futsal, and hitting the gym.
Chiropractic care is more than a career for me—it’s a lifelong passion. I’ve seen firsthand how it can transform lives, from sports performance to daily wellness, and I’m dedicated to sharing these benefits with others.
I truly value connecting with people. Everyone has a unique story, and I’m always eager to listen, learn, and help.
The real reward for me is seeing my patients leave with smiles, feeling better than when they walked in. It’s this joy that drives my commitment to chiropractic care.
I’m relatively new to London and am always on the lookout for great dining spots and hidden gems. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them.
Whether you're dealing with sports injuries, work-related discomfort, or just aiming to enhance your well-being, I’m here to support you. Let’s work together to help you feel your best. 🤝
P.S. No, I don’t play basketball.

Hello, I’m Corey. Originally hailing from Ireland I graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic. With a deep-rooted love for the outdoors and a passion for holistic health, I've dedicated myself to helping others harness the incredible healing potential of Chiropractic care.
My journey began on the football pitch, where I experienced firsthand the physical demands and injuries that come with the game. It was during these moments that I realised the importance of maintaining a healthy nervous system for optimal performance and overall wellbeing.
Driven by a desire to empower others to live their best lives, I focus on ensuring that the nervous system functions optimally through the power of Chiropractic adjustments. Whether you're an athlete striving for peak performance or someone seeking relief from the stresses of everyday life, I'm here to support you on your journey to wellness.
Outside the office, you'll often find me exploring the beauty of nature, whether it's hiking through rugged mountains, camping beneath the stars, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll through the countryside. I firmly believe that reconnecting with nature is essential for rejuvenating both body and mind, and I'm always eager to share that philosophy with my members.
So, if you're ready to embark on a path to greater health and vitality, join me at Haptic Chiropractic, where together, we'll unlock the innate healing power within you and embrace the wonders of Chiropractic care.

I’m excited to be a part of the Haptic Chiropractors team here in London. Having joined from the United States, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Sherman College with a Doctorate of Chiropractic, I’m dedicated to helping our patients achieve their health goals and enhance their well-being through natural chiropractic adjustments.
My journey into chiropractic care was inspired by my own experiences as a collegiate athlete, and that passion has driven me throughout my career. My commitment to expanding my expertise is reflected in the numerous seminars I’ve attended, focusing on chiropractic philosophy and technique.
At Haptic, I’m particularly excited to work with pregnant women, athletes, and children, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support patients of all ages with their diverse needs. The success stories of our patients fuel my enthusiasm every day.
Outside the office, I enjoy trying new activities and meeting new people. When I’m not at Haptic, you might find me at the gym, exploring local coffee shops, traveling to new places, or walking my two yellow labs. I’m looking forward to contributing to the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere at Haptic Chiropractors and helping our community live healthier and happier lives!

Hello, I’m Charlie.
Born and raised in London I am super excited to be back home and working at Haptic Chiropractors. I graduated from the Anglo-European Chiropractic University College in 2024 and received the Clinician of the Year award.
My aim is to get fellow Londoners moving and grooving and to be part of your health journey is a pleasure.I decided to become a Chiropractor after seeing how adjustments benefitted my family and friends. Witnessing my Dad’s massive improvements after seeking a Chiropractor and getting back on his bike was a breakthrough moment for me.
Through being apart of many sports teams growing up and having a passion for wellness, it was only right for me to chase a career in healthcare. Bringing both these aspects together, Chiropractic was the perfect avenue for me!I have a specialty in working with the running and cycling community.
My background is mainly in running and I have set up a few social running groups on the South coast. I have spent time analysing runners and cyclists looking specifically at modifying techniques and set ups to increase performance. From Strava warriors to first time 5k-ers I am so keen to share my knowledge and expertise in a customised and engaging way to get you achieving your goals!In my downtime I try and spend as much time with my family and dog as possible.
I love to run, cycle & boulder and to take my dog out on massive hikes! When I haven’t got my trainers on I am adding to my vinyl music collection or taking it easy in a good old pub having a Guinness or coffee store. -

Hi, I’m Max. I’m a physiotherapist originally trained in the Netherlands, and I’ve had the privilege of working with top athletes, especially swimmers, since relocating to Tenerife. My experience includes working at one of Europe’s top-rated spas, where I honed a holistic approach to massage that focuses on deep tissue and sports techniques.
I combine this expertise with a passion for tapping into the nervous system to promote rest, recovery, and relaxation, helping to alleviate stress, pain, and disability. Outside of work, I’m active in sports, particularly tennis and football, and I have a strong interest in health, wellbeing, exercise, and downtempo electronic music. I’m currently pursuing a master’s in Osteopathy to deepen my knowledge and enhance my skills, and I’m truly enjoying the journey of exploring pain relief and functional adaptation.
