We are proud to introduce Andrew Macdonald, an independent physiotherapist now practicing within the Brunswick Health collective. Originally from Perth, Andrew brings a wealth of experience in physiotherapy, offering exceptional care and treatment for a wide range of patients. A dedicated and skilled professional, Andrew graduated from the University of Notre Dame Australia in 2016 and has since worked with diverse patient populations across Australia and the UK.
Andrew began his physiotherapy career in Perth, working with WAFL (West Australian Football League) and WAAFL (West Australian Amateur Football League) teams. His career then took him to London, where he spent over four and a half years honing his skills in some of the UK’s largest and most prestigious hospitals and NHS trusts, including St Thomas’ Hospital and Guy’s Hospital. He also contributed his expertise to a busy private practice, specialising in the treatment of elite athletes, performers, and entertainers, with a particular focus on injury management and optimising sports performance.
In London, Andrew’s leadership as a Senior Physiotherapist at a prominent private outpatient clinic further developed his skills in managing complex cases. He is highly regarded for his expertise in treating complex hip and groin-related pain, tendinopathies, and lower limb overuse injuries. Andrew’s extensive background makes him especially well-suited to work with athletes and active individuals seeking specialised care and rehabilitation.
Andrew’s expertise extends across a broad spectrum of physiotherapy, from musculoskeletal outpatients to inpatient care and community rehabilitation. His background in sports physiotherapy positions him as a leader in treating athletes recovering from sports such as marathons and football. In addition to sports injuries, Andrew specialises in pre- and post-orthopaedic surgery rehabilitation, working with patients recovering from joint replacements, ligament repairs, and other orthopaedic procedures to ensure optimal recovery and restored function.
Andrew adopts a holistic approach to physiotherapy, integrating physical activity and lifestyle factors into overall wellness. He places a strong emphasis on patient education, providing tools and insights to help individuals manage their conditions, prevent future injuries, and return to the activities they enjoy. Outside of work, Andrew enjoys Melbourne’s vibrant food scene, hiking, basketball, and travel, bringing a well-rounded perspective to his practice that enables him to connect with patients and understand their unique goals.
Whether you’re recovering from a recent injury, managing chronic joint pain, or seeking to improve your overall physical well-being, Andrew is ready to guide you on your journey to a healthier, pain-free life.
