How Andy Works
Andy believes physiotherapy is about improving quality of life through quality of movement. It is his firm belief that people don’t fit into neat boxes. Health conditions don’t either, as body systems are interconnected. Holistic understanding of an individual, their work, family roles, hobbies, confidence, and identity, alongside considering wider health and medical history is fundamental to how Andy sees his role.
Andy’s wide range of experience from years working in the NHS in a wide range of settings includes:
- Primary care musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy
- Neurological rehabilitation in specialist inpatient units
- Neuro early supported discharge and community stroke teams
- Community neuro rehabilitation team
- Orthopaedic outpatient services
- Spinal, major trauma, and complex elective orthopaedic wards
- General medical, infectious diseases and oncology wards
This breadth of experience means Andy is able to manage a wide range of conditions including complex, multi-system health presentations and adapt rehabilitation plans for people with multiple medical considerations.
Andy understands first-hand how frustrating ongoing pain and fatigue can be. His experience with Morton’s neuroma, sesamoiditis, and post-viral symptoms has limited his own running and energy levels at times. He knows that pacing and load management sound simple in theory but are often difficult in real life, especially when work, family, and responsibilities compete for attention. This personal experience informs his calm, realistic approach to recovery.
Having lived in France, Portugal, and Spain, Andy enjoys foreign languages, travel, and Nordic noir crime drama. When his foot pain allows, he enjoys running; when time allows, swimming; and when his two-year-old allows, sleep.
