“I have suffered from chronic low back pain for years.  Every six months or so I would aggravate my back and struggle to get around for a while.  As the years went on, the frequency of aggravation increased and the length of recovery extended.  My first few attempts at treatment included either chiropractic care or traditional physical therapy.  Neither solved my problems….at all. Finally, one morning after having aggravated my back the day before, I woke up with severe sciatica and wound up in the ER.

In addition to getting a series of epidural injections to help with the pain, I reached out to Andrew as a last-ditch effort to correct my problem and avoid a surgery that my doctor was recommending.  After my first visit with Andrew, I finally felt that someone was analyzing my problem thoughtfully and with the knowledge and experience that my problem required.  Previous therapists appeared to just follow a script of therapies that their books prescribed.   Andrew took the time to really understand my problem, putting me through a battery of physical tests to diagnose specific patterns of movement that landed me in my current state.   We talked about my ACL tear in my left knee 7 years earlier and how that has impacted my movement patterns and muscular imbalance.  After having a really good understanding of my history, Andrew started me down a path of manual therapy and a regimen of at-home exercises.

It didn’t happen overnight, but as the weeks progressed, I started to feel much better.  It wasn’t long before I was back to 100% and I have not had a relapse in the 4 years since.  I went from not being able to walk without severe pain and on the brink of surgery to back to running 13 mile obstacle races.  I am extremely active and can’t imagine a life where I am not able to do the things I love.   Andrew gave that back to me.

Andrew is the most experienced and knowledgeable practitioner that I have ever met.  He took a holistic approach to my therapy and solved a problem for which countless others failed.  Everyone I talk to nowadays that has therapy needs gets an instant earful from me on why they need to go see Andrew.”
