What Dr. Andy's Clients Are Saying
Meet Dr. Andy Jellema
Doctor, Dad, and Avid Runner
Hi, I’m Andy. I love to run. I love it so much I’ve competed at the state and national levels in high school and college. During my career as a runner, I had a handful of injuries that motivated me to become a doctor of physical therapy –– more important, those injuries have given me valuable insight and connection with my clients.
Helping another runner overcome an injury is my job, sure. But then I had this recurring thought. What if I could work with them before the injury?
What if I could package up what I know from my medical training, help prevent injuries, advise runners on their strengths, and help establish a plan to reach their goals? That’s when The Runner’s Initiative: a Six-Week Endurance Clinic was born.
Since graduating with my doctoral degree from Governor’s State, I’ve continued my formal training in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (McKenzie Method), Vestibular Rehabilitation, and Trigger Point Dry Needling. When I’m not in the clinic, or furthering my education, or running –– you can find me with my wife and our four little ones.
