Andrew is an extremely valuable asset to our community thanks to his passion for not only his patients, but for staying on top of current research and techniques. I have seen him numerous times and the care I have received is second to none. Andrew is also actively involved in our local athletic community offering injury prevention advice and training tips, and you can often see him volunteering his time at athletic events. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a physical therapist that is patient, knowledgeable, and will get you back to where you want to be, there is no better place in town than Physioworks. From the beginning, Andrew Walker is an empathetic and detailed listener, which enables him to tailor his approach to each individual athlete. He works incredibly hard to make sure all of his approaches are completely evidence-based. He has even contacted research scientists to ask about therapies under study in order to find out if they would be beneficial for a specific patient. Andrew is willing to think outside of the box and has had a dogged persistence to helping me heal and get back to the things I love to do. I have recommended every injured friend in Huntsville to him and will continue to do so. His practice model has made a few friends hesitant because he is “out-of-network,” but I will add to the many people who have already said that by doing my exercises at home and being seen less often, I have saved hundreds of dollars in health care costs as compared to a traditional, in-network physical therapist.

Went to see Andrew after about 2 months of PT for recovery of a back hamstring injury which was preventing me from running.  He did evaluate  my running form, made several suggestions and gave me a suite of exercises to help strengthen possible problem areas. Now after about 4-5 months of following this regimen I am back running and will be able to run a half marathon this year which was my big goal. Thanks Andrew

I saw Andrew in January for a running assessment after having gotten back into running a couple months before. I had back surgery in 2009 (L5-S1 discectomy) and was strongly discouraged from running by a PT I saw after my surgery.  I had been feeling pretty good getting back into it, but was worried about possible injury both to my back and knees.  Andrew's running assessment and subsequent muscle strength assessment were extremely helpful.  He gave me a couple of things to change while running to help prevent injury and a list of stretches to strengthen my leg and core muscles.  A few weeks ago I ran my very first half marathon.  A few weeks before that, I had tweaked my back doing something stupid and was afraid I was going to have to give up running the half.  I emailed Andrew who encouraged me that all was not lost.  With his expert advice, I not only ran the whole way, but ran faster than I was expecting!  I have since run a 10K and have 2 more half marathons and a 10-miler on the horizon.

Seriously, make an appointment with Andrew!  For anything!  Not just if you're a runner or athlete.  He can help with normal (and not so normal) life pains, post-surgery issues, etc.  Not only is he knowledgeable about how the body works, but he also takes the time to explain the whats and whys and hows.  My only complaint is that he lives in Alabama while I'm in Colorado and therefore I can't very easily make appointments with him!  So all of you North-Alabamians, take advantage of how close he is to you and let him help you!!

Huge shoutout to Andrew at PhysioWorks, Sports and Wellness, Inc. for making my Spartan Trifecta possible. 
After several months of tendon pain in my knee, my leg ultimately gave way during a Saturday morning long run last December.  I had bought my Trifecta Pass just a few weeks prior after assuring myself that I would recover in time to race.  After weeks of ineffective self care I went to my family doctor. After an X-ray and no real good advice they referred me to an orthopedic doctor. He confirmed I didn’t have anything major and gave me the same useless advice and a prescription ointment that didn’t do much. By this time it was all I could do to walk around the house. I was heartbroken to think that I wouldn’t be able to race. Thankfully I found Andrew through his insightful Facebook posts and gave him a call last January. His wholistic and long term vision for getting better and staying better was exactly what I was looking for. The running analysis he provided revealed so many things that could have stalled my fitness goals indefinitely had they been left unaddressed.  I travel a lot for work as well, so his “work on your own” method for physical therapy exercises rather than multiple visits per week was a perfect way for me to augment my existing exercise routine without disrupting my work schedule. By March I was able to finish the Atlanta Sprint race - still walking more than I wanted but at least I was on the course and it only took about 30 minutes more than usual.  After about 5 or 6 visits I had made good progress and was on my way to pain free running. By July I was able to run the Asheville Super and only had to pace myself a bit on the downhill portion towards the end of the race.  In August I started having shin splints.  I reached out to Andrew via Facebook Messenger and within an hour had a new set of exercises that took care of the problem in a few weeks.  No “make an appointment with the receptionist” or other nonsense like that.  The last time I had shin splints they lingered for months and the only advice I got from my doctor was to take a few Advil every day and stop exercising - not an option for me. Now in November I was able to run the Carolina Beast without any pain.  Achieving this goal would not have happened without Andrew’s help and seemed impossible when I was limping out of the store with a knee brace last December. 
At first I was worried about not being able to have insurance cover my therapy. In retrospect, the investment I made with PhysioWorks is going to save me so much money in the long run.  Andrew’s approach was exactly what this Spartan needed to finally join the Trifecta Tribe.  If you’re an Obstacle Course Racer and have any pain that’s keeping you off the course, I highly recommend you give PhysioWorks a try. Andrew works with a local Crossfit business as well, so he can help with more than just running. 
Thanks Andrew!
