Born and raised in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Dr. Martin graduated from UNB with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology before moving onto the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto to complete his Doctorate of Chiropractic. Throughout his athletic and academic careers, a strong foundation of functional rehabilitation, strength and conditioning and manual therapy was built. This paved the way for his evidence and movement-based treatment philosophy which integrates manual therapy, rehabilitation, strength training, nutrition, stress management, sleep hygiene and goal setting to optimize patient’s health, well-being and quality of life. Outside of the clinic you can find Dr. Andrew enjoying the great outdoors while being heavily involved in athletics and community events around the HRM.

Chinese acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely fine needles at specific points along these meridians to alleviate blockages, revitalize the vital energy (qi) of the body, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Acupuncture is effective because it addresses the root cause of an illness in addition to alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Since it treats the root of disease, effects are not always immediate. It can often take 3-4 sessions before results are noticeable, and can take 8-12 sessions to achieve long-term results in some chronic ailments. Treatments should be on a weekly basis for best results.

What is Different about FST? FST is pain-free! It improves mobility of your nerves & flexibility of your muscles & fascia. Other methods focus on isolated muscle stretching which is often uncomfortable or even painful & results are only temporary. Who benefits from FST? FST is completely different yet perfectly compatible with other methods of therapy & training. Fascia surrounds each muscle, connects them to each other & penetrates deep inside them. It also connects muscle...s to tendons, ligaments & bone to form a body wide, smart functional network. Fascia connects to all of your organs & systems too.
