Andrew is a native of England and has been living and working in Baton Rouge as a physical therapist for the past 24 years. His specialties are spine and general orthopedics with a special interest in manual therapy, anatomy and biomechanics. 

Outside of work, Andrew’s passion in life involves his two Golden Retrievers. He enjoys training and competing in Agility and Obedience trials and is an active member of the Louisiana Capital City Obedience Club. He also contributes short articles to the club's monthly newsletter on various topics involving Canine Rehabilitation.   

His interest in Canine Therapy began 6 years ago after his 11-year-old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease called Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). “Cassie” was referred to a Canine Rehab Facility to begin her treatment. And under the guidance of her wonderful Canine Therapist, “Cassie” was able to slow the progression of the disease with exercises by maintaining strength and mobility. Although this proved to be a very sad and difficult part of Andrew’s life, the experience was truly inspiring and thus began his interest in Canine Rehabilitation. 

For the past 2 years, Andrew has attended extensive training at the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in Colorado, and in 2019 received his official certification as Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT). He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association special interest group Animal Physical Therapy. He has certified in human trigger point dry Needling for 8 years and recently attended a specialty course in Canine myofascial  trigger point dry needling. 

Andrew’s ambition is to combine his vast experience in Physical Therapy with his compassion and knowledge of dogs to provide a level of excellence in Canine Rehabilitation. He believes that a team approach, working closely with your veterinarian is vital to maximize positive outcomes for your beloved best friend.
