Avalon Physio Centre is a fun , friendly place to work where the patient is made to feel important and really listened to.
Our team of professional physiotherapists include:
Warwick Sargeant
Warwick Sargeant: Warwick completed a B.Ed in Physical Education at Sydney Uni and taught for 5 years. His keen interest in biomechanics ,anatomy and sports injury led him to commit to another 4 years full time study, completing his physio degree (with distinction) some 20 plus years ago. With two decades of clinical experience, Warwick enjoys the challenge of differential diagnosis in complex musculoskeletal problems. He is a committed manual therapist and very much ” hands on ” . He is also long term member of the manual therapist and sports injury special interest groups within the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Warwick’s experience and expertise in orthopaedics has fostered an excellent relationship with some of Sydney’s leading orthopaedic surgeons.
Complete rehabilitation from injury and prevention of further injury also require a specific exercise programme for each individual’s condition . Long term fitness and well being programmes need to cater for pre-existing conditions , the patient’s likes and dislikes and even local facilities and terrain. Where there is a will there is a way and Warwick also prides himself in the provision of effective , time efficient and half-way fun exercise programmes.
