Andrew is a consultant physiotherapist from the UK with a special interest in the upper limb and particularly the shoulder, which is also the reason he has created a course on the stiff shoulder, the elbow and wrist for Physiotutors together with Thomas Mitchell. He is in the process of finishing his PhD this year on imaging for musculoskeletal conditions in primary care at Keele University, so he’s the perfect person to talk to about imaging!
