Andrew Csernyei

CO-OWNER & OSTEOPATHIC MANUAL PRACTITIONER

Andrew was fortunate to spend A LOT of time outside in nature as a kid. What started out as innocently chasing grasshoppers around the yard and spending countless hours snorkeling with the hope of spotting trophy bass quickly bloomed into a deep fascination with nature. Over time, Andrew’s academic interests inclined mainly toward the material sciences but he always kept an open mind and loved to explore the sciences, excited by the possibilities of gaining more insight into the workings of the natural world. Andrew studied Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo and became heavily involved in the strength and conditioning world during his time as an undergraduate student. Upon graduation, in 2012, Andrew moved seamlessly into the fitness industry and began working as a personal trainer; at first at a big box gym and then as a private trainer who operated his own small business.

Training and coaching were rewarding in themselves; however, Andrew always strived to continue learning and it wasn’t long before he stumbled upon osteopathy. Before you could say the word ‘squat’, Andrew had taken such a shine to osteopathy that he enrolled as a full time student at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO) in Hamilton, Ontario. He completed the challenging four year, full time, program at the CAO and since graduation (2017) he has used his skills and knowledge to serve his community to the best of his ability. In 2020, after many years of planning, Andrew and his life partner Jacqueline Spring, who conveniently was also an osteopathic practitioner, opened Align Osteopathy & Wellness; a patient centered osteopathy and manual therapy clinic in the heart of Thunder Bay.
