Andy - Exercise Therapy, Yoga, and Spacial Dynamics®

Andy Goncalves has been working as a personal trainer for over 20 years in Portland, Oregon. Around the same time, he found a good yoga teacher and took up the study of yoga. He helped treat chronic low back pain, along with other aches and pains through his practice of yoga and he also quickly developed the impulse to share this with others. He completed his yoga teacher training through Integrative Yoga Therapy in 2003, and a five year in-depth training in Spacial Dynamics® in 2011 with an emphasis on movement therapy.


For the last five years, Andy has been working at Physical Medicine and Injury Rehabilitation as an Exercise Therapist, incorporating both Spacial Dynamics® and yoga in a one-on-one setting and helping people work through various injuries and ailments. Each session is tailored to the individual and he works to achieve proper mechanics and alignment along with dynamic balance between strength and flexibility. He utilizes various exercises, stretching and muscle stabilization.


Andy also provides weekly yoga classes at Bothmer Hall, which located next door to the clinic. Andy has been an avid basketball player and sports enthusiast since childhood; he also writes songs and plays guitar, and occasionally performs locally around Portland.

What Is Spacial Dynamics®

Spacial Dynamics® was developed over 25 years ago by Master Athlete Jaimen McMillan. It gives the patient an experience of the healthy and harmonious continuum between the body and surrounding space. The Spacial Dynamics® therapists learn how to use hands-on techniques and graceful / slow motion movements so that the patient becomes skilled at recreating dynamics that reconnect, regenerate, and reintegrate thereby replacing diseases with ease. Spacial Dynamics® is the study and enhancement of the relationship between the human being and space through various movement techniques and activities.

When the body moves into a dynamic space that has already been created for it, the movement itself can be performed with less effort, greater effect, enhanced mental clarity, and less strain upon the body.

What Is Therapeutic Eurythmy

Eurythmy therapy began in 1921 and was developed by Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Ita Wegman MD. It is an autonomous movement therapy based on the movement art of eurythmy. Eurythmy therapy, in distinction to artistic eurythmy, works with movement directed towards the body, the effect of which is comparable to a medicine.

The eurythmy therapist works in a professionally independent way, but in close collaboration with the referring doctor, and takes full account of any forms of treatment the patient is receiving, either medication or other, non-medicinal ones. Eurythmy therapy exercises are geared to the individual clinical picture that leads to balance in the patient’s body, soul, and spirit constitution. Eurythmy therapy is used in all medical and therapeutic fields.
