Andrew Shipp's involvement in sports and rehabilitation spans over 20 years. A former Division I track and field athlete at Virginia Commonwealth University, Andrew has experienced every side of care — from patient in high school, to rehab tech in undergrad, to practicing clinician for the past eight years. That journey has given him a deep appreciation for clinical excellence, patient access, and quality of care, values that remain at the center of everything he does.
Andrew earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Health and Performance and his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from Mary Baldwin University. He completed an Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist Residency program, earning his board certification as an Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS). His credentials also include Certified Dry Needling, Functional Movement Screen Level 1, Blood Flow Restriction Certification, and USA Track and Field Level 1 Coach certification. Most recently, Andrew was accepted into and completed a residency at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where he worked with and alongside the highest level of athletes and practitioners in the country.
Andrew's eight years of clinical experience span hospital, outpatient rehabilitation, and sports rehabilitation settings, giving him the ability to navigate all levels of care. Education is a cornerstone of his practice — he has accumulated over 100 hours of teaching and professional presentations, including poster presentations at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting. Beyond the clinic, Andrew serves as a track and field coach in the local community, where he has placed over 20 athletes into high-level collegiate programs to continue their athletic and academic careers.
Andrew specializes in treating speed-based athletes and track and field competitors, with a focus on lower extremity injuries and post-operative management. His rare combination of board certification, Olympic-level residency training, extensive teaching experience, and decades of involvement in track and field — from the sidelines to the clinic — allows him to deliver care at the highest standard. He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and USA Track and Field.
