ANDONIS PANAYIOTOU
Senior Physiotherapist
My studies were at the Technological Educational Institute of Central Greece bachelor in PT 2007-2011, in 2019 I was certified as an OMT (Orthopedic manual therapist). My special interests are towards neuro-musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment by means of manual therapy. I was still continuously amazed with the human body and how it reacts to manual treatments, and the satisfaction of seeing how that treatment can improve someone’s quality of life. Within the last 10 years I opened my own practice with the goal of having a place where people can come and benefit from not only physiotherapy but also get exposure to exercise therapy, nutrition, massage. By providing one center where people can have all of these treatment options I believe it makes it easier for them to have a well rounded exposure and treatment experience. I am constantly going to seminars and doing courses to help improve my skill set.

KOSTANDINOS ATHANASIOU
Nutritionist/ Dietitian
I’ve always believed that a healthy and balanced diet is essential in keeping current and future generations healthy and long living. Good nutrition can prevent serious health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It can also enhance muscle growth and strengthens bones, help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, keep skin, eyes, teeth and hair healthy, boost immunity etc. That’s why I chose to study Nutrition and Dietetics in European University from 2016-2020. For the last year I’ve been studying for my master’s degree at Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics.
