Justus Schumann
Originally from the Leipzig area, Justus decided to relocate to Düsseldorf out of an enthusiasm for new challenges and personal growth.
His interest in chiropractic was sparked by his fascination for the holistic and efficient effects of this healing art. During his A-levels, he made the decision to learn this art in order to help not only his personal environment, but also the wider community to improve their attitude to life. This vocation led Justus to the University of Dresden, where, like many of his colleagues, he successfully completed a five-year degree in chiropractic.
Justus' professional career has been characterised by travelling throughout Germany and working with various practices. These experiences enabled him to familiarise himself with a wide range of methods and approaches in chiropractic and to hone his skills. Among all the stops on his journey, Kiwi Chiropractic stood out, where he found a community characterised by professional expertise and a warm atmosphere.
In addition to his passion for chiropractic, Justus is passionate about healthy eating and enjoys cooking. He is convinced of the importance of a balanced diet, which, in combination with chiropractic, plays a central role in well-being and health.
When Justus is not at the practice, he devotes himself to the gym or Muay Thai, which helps him to stay physically and mentally balanced. He is also a passionate traveller and perfume lover.

Ruben Mateo
Ruben first became involved with chiropractic at the age of 16. At that time he was actively playing soccer and was often exposed to minor injuries, that got better with regular chiropractic adjustments.
Through his first experience with chiropractic, he quickly realized that he needed to learn this skill. Being a skill and a vocation at the same time, chiropractic can be carried through life. A craft that can be practiced by hands only and which helps people, seemed rare to him and therefore inspired him even more.
Because he has family in the Dominican Republic, it is also his ambition to bring chiropractic to this country.
After a 5 year long, successfully completed study and practical experience, he is now happy to be part of the team at "Kiwi Chiropractic". A practice that brings all the possibilities to create personal growth for him as a chiropractor and a person, as well as the improvement of health for the praxis members to the table.
