Treasurer and officer
Interests

Sagar is a New Zealand-registered Physiotherapist with a strong passion for musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation. He is committed to delivering evidence-based care that helps patients reduce pain, restore movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them — whether that’s work, sport, or everyday life.

With experience managing a wide range of acute and chronic injuries, Sagar has a particular interest in sports injuries, strength-based rehabilitation, and return-to-performance programming. He takes a hands-on approach to treatment, combining manual therapy with progressive strengthening and functional training to optimise long-term outcomes. Sagar values clear communication and works closely with patients, employers, GPs, and specialists to ensure collaborative and goal-oriented care.

He is especially passionate about helping individuals build resilience through movement, education, and tailored rehabilitation programs.

Outside of the clinic, Sagar enjoys staying active through sports, hiking, and strength training. He has a strong interest in travel and exploring new cultures, and enjoys music and spending time outdoors whenever possible.

Chair
Interests

It is a privilege to serve as the Chair of the Pasifika Physio Association. My journey in healthcare is shaped by my identity as a person of faith and my diverse heritage. I am proud to represent my village associations of Sopu in Kolomotu’a, Tonga, alongside my roots in Whitstable, Kent, England.

In my professional practice as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, I have developed a keen interest in headache and concussion rehabilitation. From my time initially working in hospitals in NZ and UK to touring with the Manu Samoa 7s to my current roles in Pukekohe and Bruce Pulman Park clinics, and Wesley College, I am committed to using my skills to serve our people with excellence and compassion.


My life is anchored by my family. Outside of my clinical work, you will often find me attending church with my family, fishing with my husband, or baking—activities that remind me that people and connections are the most important things in this world.
