Andrew graduated in the U.K. in 1987 and has since had over twenty years experience in the rehabilitation of Orthopaedic and Sports injuries. Close collaboration with Orthopaedic Surgeons over a number of years has given Andrew a broad knowledge of the latest surgical approaches of both upper and lower extremities and their post-operative rehabilitation. He also has extensive experience in the treatment of a wide spectrum of non-surgical Orthopaedic conditions.

A passionate teacher, Andrew has instructed numerous community health care worker groups as well as PT students and is a Credentialed Clinical Instructor with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

It is this individually tailored treatment approach, combining care with clinical experience, in a comfortable, professional manner that Andrew enjoys in his work as a Physiotherapist.
