As an avid climber and lover of the outdoors, moving well and keeping strong have always been important to Andy. He qualified as a physiotherapist in the UK in 2007.

He went on to study Tom Myers’ ‘Anatomy Trains’ and Douglas Heel’s ‘Be Activated’ technique.
Andy equips his clients with tools to perform better, and to prevent or manage their injuries. He will look at your whole picture health, going back to basics to identify where your habits, compensations and imbalances may have been tripping you up.
