Numerous orthopedic injures as a student-athlete led Curtis Sargent to his career in physical therapy. After receiving his bachelor's degree in exercise science from Western Illinois University in Macomb, he went on to earn a doctoral degree in the Physical Therapy Professional program at Washington University in St. Louis. Curtis professional interests mirror those of his own athletic career - he takes a special interest in helping athletes recover from ankle and shoulder injuries.
