About Zang Physical Therapy-Experience the Difference in Camp Hil, PA

About Andrew

Dr. Andrew Zang graduated from the University of Pittsburgh’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2008. Since then Andrew completed a year-long training (2012-2013) with Evidence in Motion to achieve his Certification in Manual Therapy. He then became Board Certified in Orthopedics by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialists (2014, recertified 2024). From there, Andrew completed a Fellowship program in Orthopedic Manual Therapy with Evidence in Motion (2014-2016). Fellowship is the highest level of education able to be attained in our profession, which entails 2-3 years of training focused on evidenced based clinical knowledge and reasoning coupled with hands on mentoring/skill training with other fellows. This something only about 1-2% of physical therapists complete during their career. Additionally, Andrew completed training in trigger point dry needling in 2017-18.

Andrew’s primary area of interest is helping patients recover lost function and remain active in their life. He enjoys working with patients to solve long-standing issues that have impaired their life in some way. The goal is to help patients do this without taking medications, having to visit their doctor routinely or contemplate surgical intervention. He greatly enjoys treating patients with low back and neck pain as it presents an intellectual challenge/puzzle to solve. That said, Andrew is trained to treat functional issues (injuries) from head to toe, including dizziness or vestibular disorders.

As a clinician, Andrew has completed continuing education courses on various orthopedic topics including: ACL injury prevention and rehab, optimizing performance of baseball players, running injury rehabilitation, and the integration of functional orthotics to complement physical therapy treatment.

Andrew has done entry-level teaching in musculoskeletal care as an adjunct instructor for South College in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is also an instructor for Evidence in Motion’s online and in-person programing for physical therapists seeking to further their clinical knowledge.

As a former Division 1 track and field athlete, Andrew greatly enjoys the challenge of treating athletes of all ages and ability levels. He understands their mindset and works with them to resume competitive action as quickly and smartly as possible. When not treating patients, Andrew enjoys spending time with his wife, Allison, and daughter, Alivia. Together they all enjoy running and working out along with hiking and traveling.

What Makes Zang Physical Therapy Different

The Beginning of Zang Physical Therapy

Zang Physical Therapy became an idea in 2015. I was nearing the end of my fellowship training in orthopedic manual physical therapy, and came to realize I wanted something different for the patients I treated.

After spending time with a mentor in his practice, I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted to take his mindset of controlling all details of patient care and seeking to empower them in the process. I wanted to deliver a high level of patient care, but knew this could not be done in the traditional model. A new model, more like the Concierge concept in medicine would be necessary. This model is done in other parts of the country and I wanted to bring that model here to Central PA.

Zang Physical Therapy is seeking to deliver a higher level of care and to achieve the goal a different model must be employed. If you have questions regarding how it is YOU could truly benefit from this approach vs the traditional model – Let’s Talk. If you are interested in a higher quality of personalized physical therapy, please come see me at Zang Physical Therapy in Camp Hill, PA.
