Andrew J. Symula, MSPT

Graduating from NewYork's Ithaca College in 1997, Andrew received his masters in physical therapy from one of the top programs in the country. For the past two years he has continued his education and career at the Chippenham Johnston-Willis outpatient therapy clinic.

Besides focusing on manual therapy, his post-graduate education has included emphasis on functional orthopedics and extremity rehabilitation. Andrew has developed an eclectic hands-on style of treatment, combining soft tissue and joint mobilization, as well as exercise that can be directed towards the acutely injured patient or those suffering from chronic pain.

Aside from his professional career, Andrew is a musician, an avid cyclist, and runner who trains year round. He has realized the benefit of exercise, manipulation and soft tissue mobilization personally, effective for those who have not had results with conventional means. Andrew is excited about the services Doctors Chiropractic & Rehab has to offer and the ability to contribute to such a dynamic clinic. His specialized clinical skills add yet another dimension to our dynamic multidisciplinary practice.
