Our Team

Sarah Nowell, Physiotherapist

Hi! I’m Sarah, a Physiotherapist originally from Nova Scotia and a graduate of Dalhousie University. I’m passionate about helping clients feel strong and be confident in their movement so they can return to the activities they love most.

I believe physiotherapy should feel collaborative and empowering. No two people move the same way, which is why I take the time to understand your goals and tailor treatment to what matters most to you. My approach combines personalized exercise programming, hands-on manual therapy, and patient education to ensure you feel supported on your road to recovery. I want to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and guidance to take an active role and maintain long-term independence.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including those recovering from acute injuries, managing chronic pain, and working toward activity-specific or performance goals. I also have a strong interest in supporting neurological populations and helping individuals improve mobility, balance, and overall independence. I find it incredibly rewarding to support people as they build confidence in their movement and regain function in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Outside of the clinic, I love staying active, travelling, trying new restaurants, and going to concerts. These experiences remind me why helping others get back to the activities they love is so rewarding!
