Bio: After graduating from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1995, and completing a residency in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manual Medicine, Andrew Kirscher went into private practice in Philadelphia and started a peak performance consultancy in Miami. He founded Back Together in 2006 and continues his quest to rid the world of back and neck pain.

My Philosophy: The problem with experts is that they know what can't be done.

If I weren't doing what I do now I'd be a Cartoon voiceover artist.

Favorite piece of advice (or “pearl of wisdom”): If you rest, you rust.
