Dr. Julie Sergent, founder of Sergent Wellness in Louisville, Kentucky, is a dedicated physical therapist with over 16 years of experience. Her passion for physical therapy began early in life, shaped by a personal experience. Growing up, Dr. Julie’s mother worked as a nanny for a family whose child had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Being the same age, Dr. Julie became close friends with the child, and she spent her early years witnessing the immense challenges her friend faced in daily life. This experience opened Dr. Julie’s eyes to the profound impact physical therapy can have, igniting Dr. Julie’s passion for physical therapy and her desire to help others achieve their full potential.

She went on to earn her doctorate from Bellarmine University and accumulated experience in a variety of healthcare settings including the military. While offering stability and exposure to a wide spectrum of patients, it became clear that in traditional healthcare, provider productivity and quality of care are often inversely related. Essentially, she found that the demands of high patient volumes meant less time to focus on individual care, and led to less optimal outcomes. In her pursuit of finding both personal and professional fulfillment, Dr. Julie established Sergent Wellness. To provide the best care possible, she chose a non-traditional, cash-based model - free from the limitations of insurance. Her holistic, whole human approach ensures every person gets the time and attention they deserve. Here she concentrates on pain management, injury prevention, and performance optimization. Her focus goes far beyond treating injuries to foster long-term well-being. She empowers her patients to welcome change, prioritize self-care, and celebrate small victories along their journey to health.

Outside of the office, Dr. Julie leads by example when it comes to wellness. She is deeply committed to staying active, prioritizing strength training, and challenging her body at the gym as a way to build physical resilience, support mental health, and motivate others to embrace the power of movement. She enjoys hiking, spending time with friends and family, and strives to enjoy the simple things in life. At home, she cherishes quality time with her daughter, Kate, and values the love and purity that comes with motherhood. Dr. Julie’s passion for movement and connection keeps her inspired to help others lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
