I had a knee injury that was about 2 years old by the time I saw Andrew. A combination of hoping it would get better on it's own and just not taking the time to get something done about (it was more annoying rather than debilitating) resulted in me putting... read more off addressing it. I was impressed with Andrew's assessment skills and his ability to explain the different compensations I had developed as a result of my injured knee. The exercises were challenging but doable and I really appreciated the videos he supplied so that I could check my form. He also offered to let me send him videos of me doing the exercises so that he could assess my form if I had questions.The most positive aspect of my appointments with Andrew was how encouraging he was. I had all but stopped exercising for fear of aggravating the injury and, therefore, progressing to debilitating. Andrew has been very supportive of me returning to walking and even encouraging running if I wanted to do so. As I have started adding some running to my cardio, he has given very useful pointers on improving my form and speed in order to prevent injuries.I will definitely seek out Andrew again in the future! read less

Andrew is a fantastic physical therapist, and I highly recommend him to everyone!

Teresa Fleischmann 2/05/2018Huge shoutout to Andrew at PhysioWorks, Sports and Wellness, Inc. for making this Spartan Trifecta possible. After several months of tendon pain in my knee, my leg ultimately gave way during a Saturday morning long run last December. I had bought my Trifecta Pass just a few weeks prior... read more after assuring myself that I would recover in time to race. After weeks of ineffective self care I went to my family doctor. After an X-ray and no real good advice they referred me to an orthopedic doctor. He confirmed I didn’t have anything major and gave me the same useless advice and a prescription ointment that didn’t do much. By this time it was all I could do to walk around the house. I was heartbroken to think that I wouldn’t be able to race. Thankfully I found Andrew through his insightful Facebook posts and gave him a call last January. His wholistic and long term vision for getting better and staying better was exactly what I was looking for. The running analysis he provided revealed so many things that could have stalled my fitness goals indefinitely had they been left unaddressed. I travel a lot for work as well, so his “work on your own” method for physical therapy exercises rather than multiple visits per week was a perfect way for me to augment my existing exercise routine without disrupting my work schedule. By March I was able to finish the Atlanta Sprint race - still walking more than I wanted but at least I was on the course and it only took about 30 minutes more than usual. After about 5 or 6 visits I had made good progress and was on my way to pain free running. By July I was able to run the Asheville Super and only had to pace myself a bit on the downhill portion towards the end of the race. In August I started having shin splints. I reached out to Andrew via Facebook Messenger and within an hour had a new set of exercises that took care of the problem in a few weeks. No “make an appointment with the receptionist” or other nonsense like that. The last time I had shin splints they lingered for months and the only advice I got from my doctor was to take a few Advil every day and stop exercising - not an option for me. Now in November I was able to run the Carolina Beast without any pain. Achieving this goal would not have happened without Andrew’s help and seemed impossible when I was limping out of the store with a knee brace last December. At first I was worried about not being able to have insurance cover my therapy. In retrospect, the investment I made with PhysioWorks is going to save me so much money in the long run. Andrew’s approach was exactly what this Spartan needed to finally join the Trifecta Tribe. If you’re an Obstacle Course Racer and have any pain that’s keeping you off the course, I highly recommend you give PhysioWorks a try. Andrew works with a local Crossfit business as well, so he can help with more than just running. Thanks Andrew! read less
