SOS: Fear of the Knife? PT Could Help

My Patient Story

Staff Spotlights

“Andrew started treating me 9-10 years ago or so after I had been seeing a chiropractor who was treating symptoms but not root cause. At that point, I was having painful muscle spasms in my shoulder once or twice a month. Andrew helped me understand the root problem and assigned me exercises to help. I now have that problem once every 1-2 years, which is so much better. Since that original issue I have gone to andrew for a variety of other (mostly shoulder) related injuries. Every time I receive the same excellent level of care, and understanding of my injury and a great treatment plan. My friend, who recommended Andrew to me, told me that he is “magic”. I couldn't agree more! He's a super awesome physiotherapist who really knows his craft well!" - Heather Buerkle (Spring 2019)
