Andrew Sargent

Director. APA Sports Physiotherapist.
Collins St

Education
Bachelor of Physiotherapy, LaTrobe University, 1999.
Masters in Sports Physiotherapy, Melbourne University, 2005.
Further study has included courses focussed on lumbar spine and SIJ injury management, high performance rehabilitation and dry needling.

Experience
Prior to establishing Pure Physio in 2010, Andrew managed a physio practice for Six Physio in London. Past clients have included ex-tennis stars, UK boy band ‘Take That’, mums and dads and business professionals.

Andrew is very much at home treating both sports and spinal injuries, using manipulation, mobilisation, muscle release techniques and dry needling to help you feel better and move better. Having recently rehabilitated from significant shoulder surgery himself, Andrew has a strong understanding of the importance of rehabilitation exercises as part of a recovery plan.

Developing Pure Physio into a successful organisation that employs 17 people, and has cared for thousands of clients, remains Andrew’s career highlight. Andrew also worked as a physiotherapist during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 and has worked with numerous amateur sporting organisations over his career.

Personal
Running the Paris marathon in 2009 highlighted for Andrew the interaction between mental strength and physical performance. Training these days focuses on running shorter distances, playing ‘old man’ basketball once per week and the odd weights session in the Pure Physio gym.
