About Spera Health

“Spera” is derived from the Latin word “spero” meaning “hope”.

Perhaps you have felt helpless and unheard by traditional medical approaches or hopeless and pressured to accept that the pelvic health concerns you have for yourself or your child are a “normal” part of motherhood, aging, or your child’s development.

What if there is hope?

Spera Health Physiotherapy provides individual and insightful consultation for those seeking a realistic solution to restore their pelvic health.

Spera Health provides pelvic health physiotherapy for women and children

You deserve quality pelvic health care.

At Spera Health Physiotherapy, one-on-one care is the standard. Building relationships and trust are important to help support you on your journey. I want you to feel heard and understood. That’s why each session is 30-60 minutes without interruption - no modalities, no shared time with other patients, just one-on-one with your therapist.

The assessment will be comprehensive, taking into consideration all aspects of your health and looking beyond the pelvis to get to the root cause of your symptoms. I will listen to your goals and develop a realistic treatment plan that is individualized - designed to keep you and your life in mind.

About Tara

Tara Posteraro, MScPT, BSc, FCAMPT, CIDN

I am a pelvic health and orthopedic physiotherapist and the founder and owner of Spera Health Physiotherapy. My interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy began after my own struggles with chronic pelvic pain, then after going through pregnancy and birth myself my passion for women’s health grew. I knew I was in a unique position as a pelvic health PT to be able to help bridge the gap in perinatal care. In an effort to provide better maternal support, I attained physio-doula training which combines physiotherapy expertise with birth doula support and became a Certified Postnatal Fitness Specialist.

I hold a Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy and have pursued professional development in several areas including manual therapy, soft tissue release, acupuncture, pelvic health, prenatal and postpartum care, and pediatric pelvic health. I hold a certification in Integrated Dry Needling and a Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy making me a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT). I will always take an evidence-based approach to care and continue to stay current in my practice to maintain the highest standard of care for my patients.

What People are Saying

  • Tara is a very compassionate and knowledgeable physiotherapist who offers a very unique service to all pregnant women in Algoma area. I was with her for prenatal and postnatal care and always looked forward to our visits. She helped my spouse and I prepare for our home birth and was exceptionally supportive when I returned to her for a smooth C-section postpartum recovery. The encouragement, attention and confidence I have felt under her care have been such blessings as I navigate this beautiful and enormous transition into motherhood. Thank you, Tara!

  • Fantastic! Tara is wonderful. She is very professional as well as knowledgeable; she helped me immensely both pre- and post-labour. This should be a regular aspect of care both while pregnant and postpartum for everyone!

    ~ Krista S.

  • I began physio with Tara as a prenatal client for pelvic floor therapy. Tara gave me so many tools and guidance to prepare for child birth as well as postpartum recovery. She was instrumental in preparing my body for labouring at home. After having my child, I completed a return to run program with Tara. Her guidance and knowledge helped me through training and eventually, I finished my first race at seven months postpartum. Thank you Tara - you would be a stellar part of anyone's wellness team!

  • I didn't start seeing Tara until pregnant with my 3rd child, and I'm really regretting waiting so long. Cannot speak highly enough of her and how much she helped me prenatal, during my delivery and now post partum!!!
