Andrew Neumeister graduated in 2013 from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. During his years at Quinnipiac, Andrew served as class representative and finished with the distinction of Summa Cum Laude.

Andrew began his career at Integrated Physical Therapy in CT, an outpatient orthopedic PT clinic where he gained valuable experience working with seasoned Physical Therapists that included advanced training in vestibular (balance disorder) conditions, and spine-related pain with a mechanical approach to diagnosis. He built his skill base with a wide variety of diagnoses that included post-operative total knees, hips, and shoulders along with cervical and lumbar fusions, among many others.

In 2017, he earned the Fellowship in Applied Functional Science® (FAFS) from the world-renowned Gray Institute. He and Peak’s Mike Napierala, PT, are the only FAFS-trained Physical Therapists in the Rochester region. Applied Functional Science® provides advanced training in neuromusculoskeletal function, including assessment, biomechanical problem solving, exercise prescription, and manual techniques. This knowledge base and approach affords Andrew a unique ability to analyze function beyond traditional Physical Therapy approaches and education.

Andrew has also completed the Excellus BCBS Community Spine Pathway training emphasizing the neck and lower back conditions. With Physical Therapists often being the first healthcare provider accessed for neck and lower back problems, this program uses best current evidence to promote early decision making for spine conditions.

Andrew has a real passion for helping his patients and has been very active in continuing education since joining Peak Performance. From staff inservicing and case reviews to upcoming courses, Andrew continues to grow his knowledge and skill base to serve our patients!
