Bio
Andi is a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with more than 30 years of experience, all at the same Chirnside Park clinic. She started there in 1995 when it was Yarra Valley Physiotherapy, and it’s now Physica Yarra Valley. Many of her patients have been seeing her for years.

She works with headaches, neck pain and whiplash, low back pain, and shoulder, hip and knee problems. Andi has a particular interest in the neck, including persistent neck pain, nerve root pain and rehabilitation after neck surgery.

Andi has invested heavily in further training throughout her career. This includes advanced neck and headache courses, Lyn Watson shoulder courses, tendinopathy courses, McKenzie Parts A and B, dry needling and DMA Clinical Pilates Levels 1–4. She uses this training to build hands-on treatment and exercise programs that suit each person, often with Clinical Pilates or Physica Active classes.
