Andréas Remis, DPT

Honored to receive the 2026 Outstanding PT Award from APTA NC. This award recognizes individuals who demonstrate excellence in the PT profession through clinical practice, education, leadership, research, and advocacy. Looking forward to continuing to make a difference!

We just completed our continuing education course on spinal manipulation at APTA North Carolina! We taught high-yield clinical techniques and had a great turnout with wonderfully engaged participants! #APTANC #APTANorthCarolina

6th edition APTA Current Concepts is out! We had the privilege of authoring the lumbar spine section. We wrote from scratch, 64 pages, 439 references. We hope this resource serves as a useful tool to support the clinical management of patients with low back pain.

New JOSPT case: A patient with type II odontoid fracture was cleared to begin PT. The clinical presentation prompted PT to recommend further diagnostic studies, which revealed worsening nonunion. Always perform independent evaluation, regardless of medical clearance.

New JOSPT case report: During PT evaluation following prostatectomy, findings prompted further workup, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Diligent evaluation, appropriate referral, and effective safety-netting played key roles in guiding patient management.

Honored to receive the 2026 Outstanding Fellow Award from the American Physical Therapy Association. Grateful to the Duke orthopedic manual physical therapy fellowship faculty, whose support made this national recognition possible.

Our interdisciplinary team recently published a Masterclass on Spine-Related Leg Pain in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice. We aimed to enhance clinical pattern recognition, targeted management, and interdisciplinary communication. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at Durham, NC

Excited to now be dry needling certified! Grateful to Duke University, course faculty Derek Clewley and Cody Ballay, and fellow participants for an excellent learning experience. #DryNeedling #PhysicalTherapy

New JOSPT case report publication highlights the value of direct access physical therapy in identifying and managing high-risk injuries, such as Zone 3 5th metatarsal fractures that carry a guarded nonoperative prognosis. Patient made a full conservative recovery in 9 weeks 🦾

Collaborated as lead or senior author on 8 case presentations at CSM, with contributions from 11 PTs and 14 physicians. These cases exemplify how PTs can bring clarity to complexity. All 8 are available for detailed viewing on my professional instagram (@ RemisDPT). #APTACSM

Our new open-access JMMT publications unpack why small effect sizes are common in musculoskeletal trials, and what this means for clinicians. Part I: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… Part II: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

AAOMPT interview is live! Thanks to AAOMPT and Jimmy McKay for providing me with a platform to share my journey into physical therapy, approach to patient care, and future directions for our profession. 🎥 Watch: m.youtube.com/watch?v=lsARq1… 🎧 Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

New case publication A patient with multisite symptoms was referred to PT for several local diagnoses. Exam revealed a unifying diagnosis: cervical myelopathy. This case highlights the importance of assessing for underlying etiologies before performing regional exams. #JOSPT

We just wrapped up the fall Duke student-led clinic, where teams of DPT students guided community members through individualized physical therapy plans of care. This rewarding experience is a tangible example of what makes the Duke DPT program special. #DukeDPT

Honored to be named to SpineLine's 20 Under 40 list. Proud to represent the PT profession as the youngest PT to ever receive this recognition. Read full story here: spinelinemag.spine.org/novde… Pictured with 2024-25 NASS President, Scott Kreiner, MD.

Presented at NASS 2025 on how integrating gait analysis into clinical assessment and outcome tracking can enhance spine care. We must collaborate across disciplines to accelerate innovation and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Presented on Spine-Related Lower Extremity Pain at AAOMPT, sharing a PT perspective on the 2023 IASP consensus definitions. Grateful for the thoughtful discussion that followed. Aligning on terminology enhances precision in PT management and strengthens collaboration. #AAOMPT

In the first large-scale analysis of physical therapy following neck surgery (ACDF), we found that 17% of 309,230 patients utilized outpatient PT within 1 year of surgery. Understanding who benefits most may inform optimal postoperative recovery pathways.
