as a clinician, my experience in the strength and conditioning field has been invaluable for
patient care. I often see athletes and active people who come in after getting hurt while lifting
weights. The experience allows me to understand how they got injured and then help make

huge advocate of coordinating my care with personal trainers and strength coaches. I have
found that this ensures the client gets the best results possible.”

“whole-person” approach to treat people of all ages and levels of capability. He combines
education, exercise, and manual therapy to deliver lasting outcomes. Andrew aims to blend
principles of strength and conditioning with modern rehabilitation to help his clients not only
move past pain and injury but come out stronger and more resilient on the other side.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Andrew is a music enthusiast, particularly in EDM. He loves to
travel, learn new skills, exercise regularly, and embrace challenges that keep him doing the
things he loves.
