Meet this month’s patient in the spotlight, Shana Andres!
Shana (pronounced Shay-na) Andres is an OT (occupational therapist) originally from Floyds Knobs, Indiana, and proudly calls herself a Hoosier. She attended Indiana University Southeast (IUS), where she played softball and earned a degree in Sociology and minored in Religion. After college, she pursued a career in occupational therapy. She completed OT school at Spalding University in Louisville, and her early career took her out west as a travel therapist. Eventually, though, she returned to her roots at home in Indiana and began specializing in hand therapy.
Shana discovered a true passion for helping others regain function and independence. She focuses on upper extremity orthopedic rehabilitation. In 2023, she became a Certified Hand Therapist. She is also certified in dry needling for the upper extremity. Shana finds joy in connecting with patients and seeing their progress. She values the hands-on nature of her work and the difference it makes in people’s lives.
Outside of work, Shana enjoys life with her wife, their two children, and their family dog. They love spending time outdoors, and her hobbies include biking, exercising, camping, cooking, and relaxing in a hammock.
Shana has a special connection to Orthopaedic Specialists. Years ago, during her time as a collegiate athlete, she was a patient of Dr. Grossfeld’s for a knee injury. But, just recently, she also returned to visit and shadow Dr. Grossfeld in the clinic.
We loved having her around, and we’re proud to feature Shana this month to celebrate her journey from patient to dedicated healthcare professional!
