I’ve always loved the outdoors and try to stay active for the rest of my life. Suddenly my life came to a halt when I got injured and had to use crutches. I got extremely concerned about the possibility I couldn’t be as active anymore as I would like to be. Andre approached my problem from a different angle and got me to walk and even jog in very short time. He made it clear how to progress and to enjoy the process of becoming the best I can be…..injury free!

André van Commenée has been more than a physical therapist, he has been a friend and a mentor in my preparation for my biggest mental and physical boxing performances of my life. There were times when I wanted to quit and he helped me to get over those difficult times. In life in general, and especially in the world of boxing, it is hard to find such a trustworthy mentor. He has been an intuitive healer with inventive, compassionate ways to heal the body and mind in time for peak performance. His methods work!

As an athlete and medical professional, I was extremely active on a daily basis until I suffered a fractured tibial plateau during a horseback riding accident. As a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, I understand the severity of this injury and I feared I would never be able to run again. I needed surgery, was in a wheelchair, and had far more pain than I had ever previously experienced. By following your program, combined with you managing my perspective, my anxieties decreased and my rehab went smoothly. Now I experience a pain-free and active life again. I even run! I’m so happy!
