COLLEGE SWIMMER, CONNECTICUT

Two years ago I had recurring back pain. I had seen many orthopedic specialists but none could help me, as my condition did not require surgery. I learned about Andy through my uncle whom is a former patient and he recommended I see him. I’m so glad that I did see Andy, he treated me and explained how my pelvis was imbalanced and that was the cause of my back pain. He gave me specific stretches and exercises and ensured that I knew how to perform them correctly. I now have very little pain and last year was my best year ever as a competitive swimmer!

Andy is one of our National Treasures.  He is knowledgeable, pleasant, humorous and, of course, talented.  He is a protégé of the Positional Therapist who put the modality “on the map” and that originally led me to him. As a movement teacher and therapist, I am always sensitive to how bodywork professionals use their skills. I can say with conviction that Andy is a fine holistic healing professional, with a great future.
