Andrew Sargent – Sports and Spinal Physiotherapy Specialist

About

Andrew Sargent is a seasoned physiotherapist with a strong focus on helping people move well and recover confidently. He graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from LaTrobe University in 1999. He later completed a Master’s in Sports Physiotherapy at Melbourne University in 2005. Since then, he has continued to develop his skills through courses on lumbar spine and SIJ injury management, dry needling, and high-performance rehab.

Before founding Pure Physio in 2010, Andrew led a busy London practice for Six Physio. His client list was varied. It included professional athletes, former tennis stars, musicians such as Take That, and everyday people—from office workers to busy parents. This diverse experience taught him to adapt his treatments to suit every individual.

Andrew is highly skilled in treating both spinal and sports-related injuries. His approach blends hands-on therapy with targeted rehab plans. He uses a range of techniques such as manipulation, mobilisation, muscle release, and dry needling. Recently, Andrew underwent shoulder surgery himself. This personal experience deepened his understanding of rehabilitation and the role that structured exercises play in long-term recovery.

Services

Andrew offers a broad set of physiotherapy treatments designed to ease pain, support recovery, and improve movement. His key services include:

• Spinal Injury Management – He provides hands-on treatment for lower back and sacroiliac joint issues. This often includes mobilisation, strengthening, and education.

• Sports Physiotherapy – Whether you’re a weekend runner or an elite athlete, Andrew helps you return to sport safely and perform better.

• Dry Needling – This technique reduces muscle tension and supports healing. It is often used alongside other forms of therapy.

• Muscle Release Therapy – He uses manual techniques to relieve tight muscles, improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.

• Rehabilitation Planning – After injury or surgery, he creates step-by-step exercise programmes that help clients return to normal activity at their own pace.
