About Andy McKenzie
Hi, I’m Andy — a remedial therapist, exercise scientist, and anatomy educator who is deeply passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies, move freely, and feel at home within themselves.
My work blends evidence-based movement science with an intuitive, hands-on approach to manual therapy. With every person I work with, the intention is simple: create space for the body to unwind, integrate, and return to its natural state of balance.
I believe the body isn’t just a structure — it’s a dynamic, conscious system that responds when given clarity, safety, and skilled touch. Pain, posture, and movement are not just mechanical problems; they're expressions of how a person has moved through life — physically, emotionally, and energetically. My role is to meet you where you are, listen to your system, and guide you back to alignment and flow.
Professional Background
- Bachelor of Exercise Science — Griffith University
- Remedial Therapist — Manual Therapies GC
- Anatomy Demonstrator — Griffith University (periodically engaged to assist in cadaver-based musculoskeletal anatomy teaching)
- Experience across diverse manual therapy techniques, including soft-tissue therapies, fascial work, neuromuscular techniques, and movement-focused rehabilitation
My clinical practice bridges traditional manual therapy and modern movement science, grounded in ongoing work within anatomy labs where I help students explore the intricacies of the body through hands-on learning. This keeps my understanding both precise and evolving.
A Human-Centred Approach
Every client brings a whole story — not just a symptom. My sessions are intentional, present, and collaborative. I create a calm, safe environment where your nervous system can soften, your tissues can release, and your natural healing mechanisms can activate.
We work gently but powerfully — with curiosity, respect, and a listening approach. I don’t believe in force. I believe in guiding the body toward remembering its own organisation.
Why I Do This
Movement is life, and our bodies are far more capable — and far more intelligent — than we’re often taught to believe. My mission is to support people in:
- Relieving pain and tension
- Improving movement and posture
- Reconnecting with their body’s innate intelligence
- Building strength, ease, and confidence in motion
- Feeling grounded, aligned, and empowered
When the physical body finds alignment, the mind becomes clear — and our true self can breathe again.
A Space for Renewal
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing long-term pain, training hard, or simply wanting to feel more connected to your body — you’re welcome here.
This is a space to release, reset, and realign — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
