Sara Black

A Richmond native and former NCAA Division I swimmer at East Carolina University, Sara Black brings a performance-driven lens to pelvic health physical therapy. She earned her B.S. in Exercise Physiology before working as a certified personal trainer and a licensed massage therapist, which shaped her integrated, whole-body approach to care.

Sara received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Lynchburg University and now specializes exclusively in pelvic health and related orthopedic conditions. She has completed the full CAPP-Pelvic certification series through the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy and is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

She works with active women navigating pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and complex pelvic pain—helping them return to strong, confident, and capable movement. Her approach blends targeted exercise, movement retraining, and nervous system strategies with clear, collaborative care.

Sara is also the founder of The Triathlete Project, supporting endurance athletes in training and competing safely and effectively.

Outside the clinic, she competes in triathlons, runs, and spends time outdoors hiking and backpacking with her dogs, Frankie and Chola.
