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. He 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. 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’ve had an outstanding experience at BYoung Physical Therapy for many years. From day one, the team has been professional, knowledgeable, and truly caring. They take the time to understand my goals and customized a plan that was both challenging and achievable. I’ve made real progress and feel stronger and more confident thanks to their support. The space is clean and welcoming, and the energy is always positive. I can’t recommend BYoung PT enough to anyone looking for an expert and personalized care plan.
