Who Is Andy?

Andy’s Qualifications and Professional Background
Andy holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Physiotherapy and has invested heavily in ongoing professional development, refining his skills in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
He has a particular interest in persistent pain conditions, especially low back pain, as this is one of the most common and complex areas of physiotherapy practice. His treatment style blends manual therapy, patient education and structured exercise to help clients regain strength, confidence and mobility.
Andy’s early background as a personal trainer and coach shaped his interest in movement, strength and functional rehabilitation, providing a strong grounding for evidence based exercise prescription.
Why He Joined Health on High
Andy was drawn to Health on High for its multidisciplinary approach and strong reputation for offering expertise in physiotherapy delivery in Coffs Harbour, aiming to provide solutions not short term bandaids. The opportunity to work alongside experienced practitioners across physiotherapy , exercise physiology , occupational therapy and hand therapy allows him to provide holistic, evidence informed treatment for every patient.
Andy’s Approach to Physiotherapy
Holistic, Patient-Centred Care
Whether he’s helping someone return to sport, recover from surgery or manage ongoing pain, Andy takes the time to understand each person’s goals, lifestyle and concerns. He believes physiotherapy is most effective when patients feel informed and supported.
That’s why he focuses on building confidence through explaining how injuries heal, what movements are safe and how to prevent setbacks. He partners this education with structured step by step progressions, such as gradually increasing load in strength exercises, practising specific sport drills in stages or slowly reintroducing daily activities after surgery.
Evidence Based Physiotherapy Techniques
Andy incorporates a variety of evidence based techniques into his physiotherapy services, including:
- Manual therapy and joint mobilisation: Practical techniques to reduce pain, restore movement and improve joint function.
- Strength and conditioning-based rehabilitation: Tailored exercise programs to build strength, stability and overall functional performance.
- Chronic pain education and load management: Strategies to help patients understand, manage and reduce long term pain through movement and pacing.
- Functional movement retraining: Corrective exercises to restore safe, efficient movement patterns for daily activities and sports.
- Mobility and flexibility programming: Stretching and mobility work to improve range of motion and prevent injury.
- Progressive return-to-sport planning: Structured programs to safely guide athletes back to their sport or physical activity after injury.
His grounded, proven approach ensures patients receive safe, effective and modern physiotherapy care at every appointment.
