Pelvic health care that starts with your story.

Sara Jane Pyke, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist

Hi, I'm Sara — I take time to understand what's actually going on.

Every appointment is one-on-one, unhurried, and built around what matters to you — whether that's managing persistent pelvic pain, regaining bladder control, getting back to running, or healing after birth. No rushing. Just a clear, practical plan and someone in your corner.

Return to movement

Back to being active, and the life you love — without holding back.

For runners, athletes, and anyone returning to movement, we work toward going further and harder without pain or leaking. Your body is capable of more than you've been told.

A little about me.

I completed my Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University and my Bachelor of Kinesiology from Acadia — where I also worked as a Student Therapist with the Acadia Varsity Women's Rugby Team. That experience lit up my interest in helping people move well and recover fully, and eventually led me to pelvic health.

My approach is exercise-focused, and I encourage clients to take an active role in their recovery. I love treating hands-on — with individualized exercise prescription and a strong focus on client education. I also draw on dry needling, manual therapy, and soft tissue techniques to help people get back to their regular activities as soon as possible.

Questions,
answered.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on strengthening and retraining the muscles that support your core, bladder, bowel, and reproductive health — treating conditions like pain, leakage, and postpartum recovery.

In most cases you can book directly without a referral. Some insurance plans may request one for reimbursement; we're happy to help you check your coverage.

An initial assessment is typically 60 minutes — enough time to go through your history, understand what's going on, and begin treatment. Follow-up sessions are usually 45 minutes.

Not necessarily. We start with a conversation, and any assessment is fully discussed and only done with your informed consent — never a surprise.

Yes — direct billing is available for many insurance providers. Contact us and we'll confirm your specific coverage.

Completely understandable to feel nervous. The first appointment is mostly a conversation and external assessment. If an internal exam would be helpful, Sara will explain exactly what's involved and you're always in full control — nothing happens without your consent.

Yes — pelvic pain, including pain with intercourse, is one of the most common reasons people seek pelvic floor physiotherapy. It's often caused by tension or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles, and responds well to treatment.

Not at all. Pelvic floor issues affect people of all ages, genders, and life stages — including men and people who have never been pregnant. Conditions like pelvic pain, bladder urgency, and sports-related leakage are common across the board.

Ready when you are.

Booking a first appointment is a conversation, not a commitment.
