Adrie Min-Physical Therapist

Adrie Min grew up twenty miles from Amsterdam, Holland. Adrie worked as a physical therapist for almost nine years in Holland before starting his American adventure. Adrie, wifePhysical Therpist - Adrie Maria and their two year old daughter immigrated to Massachusetts in August 1988. There he took his PT exam in Boston.

In 1995, Adrie and his family settled in Ryegate after joining Wheatland Memorial Healthcare’s team in 1994. In the meantime, their family grew with another daughter and son.

Adrie has been passionate to continue his education. Some examples of his studies include; but not limited to: spinal mobilization, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, shiatsu massage, reflexology, and primal reflex release.

What Adrie likes best about being a Physical Therapist at Wheatland Memorial is that he feels he is able to help people toward higher function, to be pain free, for a better quality of life.
