Area of Expertise/Approach

Andrew incorporates a combination of manual therapy, dry needling, education, exercise prescription, and activity modifications. In your first session, we will do an assessment and treatment to address the root of the problem. We will identify the goals that you have for the session and discuss how we can reach those goals. Andrew's goal is to allow you to return back to what you love and to make sure that you DO NOT have to return back to physiotherapy.

About

Andrew is a Canadian born, internationally trained physiotherapist who has lived and worked in Australia and UK before coming back home to practice physiotherapy. He has taken on 9 UBC physiotherapy students to date and believes in giving back to the physiotherapy community. In 2023, he ran for one of the vacant Board of Directors seats for the College of Physiotherapy in BC. His passion for helping others stems from his own injury sustained while backpacking in Thailand.


Why he became a Physiotherapist

Andrew was on a 16 month backpacking trip in Australia and SE Asia. In Thailand, he sustained a motor vehicle accident and required 38 stitches in his knees and suffered a Grade II MCL sprain. He returned home to Canada afterwards and went to physiotherapy to rehab. That was what piqued his interest. He wants to help others get back to doing what they enjoy.
