Dr. Sarah Hayward
Dr. Sarah graduated with her BA in Psychology and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees from Marquette University in 2008 and 2010 respectively. She has been practicing physical therapy in the outpatient orthopedic field for the last 11 years, continually learning and staying up on the latest research. She is honored to get to meet people and have such an intimate role in their lives to bring about healing. She incorporates the whole person into her treatment approach, getting to know more than just their body parts. She believes each person is unique and has specific factors in their lives that contribute to their experience of pain. She is especially passionate about treating people in pain and helping them regain enjoyment out of their life!
She opened Flourish PT & Wellness in August of 2020 and is excited to operate under a different model of care. Working independently means no more productivity standards or corporate bosses calling the shots. Likewise, operating out-of-network with all insurances means that red tape is a thing of the past here at Flourish. Dr. Sarah is able to provide specific, personal, unique, individualized care to each patient that comes in the door. She can work on any and every problem area without needing new referrals, and has the freedom to get creative and even take treatments on the road! Dr. Sarah is passionate about helping people find relief and return to fully functioning lives, and working on her own allows her to do just that.
Dr. Sarah became certified in vestibular rehabilitation in 2017 through The American Institute of Balance. She has had great success in treating people with acute and chronic dizziness or balance issues. Often, full resolution of dizziness can happen with one treatment session! She achieved another certification as a Fall Prevention Specialist in March, 2021 through Evergreen Certification.
Dr. Sarah moved to Spokane in 2010 after graduating, and met her husband within the year. They have now been married for 9 years and have two beautiful children. She enjoys getting outside as much as possible, whether it's hiking, snow shoeing, biking, camping or visiting the many local parks with her kids. She is an active member of her church, New Community, and of the Spokane NAACP. She and her husband are also board game aficionados.
