Meet Andrew Macdonald: Your Skilful Physiotherapist at Brunswick Health

We are proud to introduce our newest team member, physiotherapist Andrew Macdonald. Originally from Perth and now based in  Melbourne, Andrew brings a rich background in physiotherapy to our community, promising exceptional care and skilled treatment for our patients. He is a passionate and experienced professional who graduated from the University of Notre Dame Australia in 2016 and has since accumulated extensive expertise working with diverse patient populations across Australia and the UK.

Qualifications and Rich Background

Andrew began his career in Perth, gaining valuable experience working with WAFL (West Australian Football League) and WAAFL (West Australian Amateur Football League) teams. His professional journey then led him to the bustling healthcare landscape of London, where he excelled for over four and a half years in some of the UK’s largest and most prestigious hospitals and national health service trusts, including St Thomas’ Hospital and Guy’s Hospital. His tenure also included contributing his skills to a well-regarded busy private practice, specialising in treating elite athletes, performers, and entertainers, refining his expertise in injury management and sport performance optimisation.

Exceptional Leadership and Experience

Andrew’s career in London as a Senior Physiotherapist at a prestigious private outpatient clinic highlighted his leadership qualities. He managed a dynamic caseload, providing tailored rehabilitation services to a variety of patients. Andrew is particularly sought after for his expertise in treating complex hip and groin-related pain and specialises in the management of tendinopathies and lower limb overuse injuries. This makes him the ideal physiotherapist for athletes and active individuals seeking comprehensive care.

Broad Expertise Across the Spectrum

Andrew’s proficiency isn’t confined to one niche but spans multiple areas. From musculoskeletal outpatients to inpatient intermediate care and community rehabilitation, Andrew has developed an unparalleled ability to tailor his approach to meet the unique needs of each patient. His extensive knowledge in sports physiotherapy has positioned him as a leading figure in the treatment of athletes and performers, particularly those recovering from demanding sports like marathons and football.

In addition to sports injuries and general musculoskeletal conditions, Andrew specialises in pre and post-orthopaedic surgery rehabilitation. He collaborates closely with patients undergoing joint replacements, ligament repairs, or other orthopaedic procedures to optimise their recovery and restore function.

A Holistic Approach to Healthcare

Andrew believes in a holistic approach to healthcare, emphasising the importance of physical activity and lifestyle factors in overall wellness. He also values patient education and empowerment, providing insights and tools to support self-management, prevent future injuries, and get you back to doing what you love. Outside of his professional pursuits, Andrew enjoys exploring Melbourne’s vibrant food scene, hiking picturesque trails, playing basketball, and embarking on exciting travel adventures.
