My Passion
From a young age, Andrew was fascinated by how the body moves and recovers. In as early as middle school, Andrew was competing in swimming at the national level and continued to do so through varsity at University of Western Ontario. Competing at that level for over 10 years lent itself to countless injuries, where he developed a strong idea of how powerful physical therapy can be for recovery, performance, and movement health. In adulthood, Andrew continues to train as a rock climber and hybrid athlete. Through his athletic career, he learned to appreciate the importance of biomechanics, motor learning, and physical adaptation to drive success. Despite his own experiences working through muscular injuries, this was not the only influence towards him pursuing Physiotherapy. Through his childhood, he was also exposed to serious injuries of his sisters - and was inspired by watching the rehabilitation process of his loved ones to return to health. Seeing the impact of movement therapy shaped his future, leading him to pursue his fascination in his studies.

The Quest for Knowledge
With a fervent passion to help others, Andrew pursued his degree in Medical Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, deeply exploring human physiology, anatomy, biomechanics, and health. During this time, he balanced his studies, varsity swimming, and had the opportunity to volunteer with many physiotherapists and health professionals who continued to inspire him. He went on to pursue his Master’s of Physical Therapy at Queens University, learning from industry-leading mentors and teachers, and beginning his practice. Though his formal education has ended, Andrew’s desire to provide exceptional care doesn’t end, as he continues to take courses to stay current with the evolving research and enhance his own expertise.
