Throughout his education at Sutherland-Chan, he specified in courses such as Sport Massage, Rhythmic technique, and Fascial Release. Adding to his continuing education, Andrew is certified in Kinesio Taping (K-taping).

Andrew has a passion for movement, which is why his practice focuses on optimal pain-free movement for his clients. Andrew believes the best way to understand what a client is feeling in their body is to understand their movement and sedentary habits. Aside from his education, Andrew’s past experiences with personal injury and a variety of movement modality (team sports, biking, climbing, yoga, Pilates, snowboarding, biking, animal flow, track and field etc.) help in understanding and deciphering client’s needs based on their description of their pain/discomforts.

Andrew has developed a way of treating patients based on visual analysis of body mechanics, as well as soft tissue assessments, with respect to the interdependence of tissues throughout the body. Treatments are based on relieving pain, but also addressing the underlying cause with whatever homecare/exercises he sees fit. Andrew’s goal is to instill a sense of understanding of how the body is a reflection of one’s habits, with differing external (physical environment) and internal (mental/emotional) influences.

Therapy techniques include general Swedish, sport/therapeutic, myofascial, deep tissue, muscle activation, trigger-point, silicon cupping, K-Taping TMJ treatments, acupressure, rhythmic, breath work and active/passive release techniques.
