Physiotherapist & Pilates Instructor
“Physiotherapy has the power to change so many peoples lives, whether it is through reducing pain or simply feeling stronger and more able. I feel privileged to have such a role in someone’s life.”
About
Emma previously trained in classical ballet as both a performer and teacher. Throughout her training she has gained her registered teachers status (RAD:RTS) through the Royal Academy of Dance, worked as a tutor for the Academy’s teacher training program and was accepted to study at the Hungarian Dance Academy in Budapest. Having decided that her passion lies in medicine and science related to injury prevention and health management in dance she returned from Europe to pursue a career in Physiotherapy. Emma joined PPP as a new graduate following graduation from the University of South Australia in 2018.
Emma has a special interest in dance injury prevention and rehabilitation, and paediatric physiotherapy. Other clinical interests include chronic pain and pilates. She recently joined the Polestar Pilates mentor team, assisting in the training of new instructors.
When Emma is not immersed in physiotherapy books you can find her in the kitchen whipping up a treat, or out it the studio working on a painting.
