Andrew Kuyper is passionate about using his personal experience with running, weight lifting, and a particular low back injury to empathize with patients’ experience and empower them to continue towards their goals.

North Carolina born and bred, Andrew grew up in Durham, NC, then ventured to the mountains for his undergraduate education at Appalachian State University. There, he majored in both Biology and Spanish and minored in Chemistry. Andrew attended Elon University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program to pursue his DPT and graduated with honors.

Prior to joining BYoung & TheRunning PT’s, Andrew honed his orthopedic clinical focus while working seven years in an outpatient physical therapy practice allowing exposure to a wide variety of patient populations and gaining valuable skills across a wide scope of conditions. To further his clinical experience and expertise, Andrew completed a Certification in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) and is a Certified Dry Needling Therapist.

Andrew’s journey with running began in high school and has morphed throughout the years. In training for various races or even the occasional beer mile, he is no stranger to the challenges and injuries accompanying the sport. In addition to his English speaking clientele, Andrew is also excited to put his Spanish language skills to use in the clinic to create the optimal rehab experience for as many patients as possible.

Andrew currently resides in Cary, NC with his fiancee, McCall, and three cats: Bruce, Quill, and Lando.

“I cannot put into words how deeply grateful I am for this extraordinary team. Their expertise, dedication, and warmth have been instrumental in my journey towards recovery and regaining my mobility. From the moment I walked into their office, I was met with nothing but encouragement and support. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making each visit a pleasant experience. The therapists are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but they also have a passionate commitment to their work, which shines through in every interaction. What truly sets this office apart, however, is their tailored approach to treatment. Thank you to the entire team for their exceptional service. I would highly recommend this physical therapy office to anyone in need of top-notch, personalized physical therapy care. This is a place where healing is not just a process, but a collaborative journey filled with empathy, support, and triumph.”
