Emma is a certified Scar Therapy Practitioner having completed training with Restore Scar Therapy.
Emma spent 7 years working in the NHS gaining valuable experience in several specialities, which were predominantly musculoskeletal and orthopaedic based, before moving into private practice in 2001.
She gained her Pilates teaching qualification in 2003 from the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) and now incorporates it into individual treatment programmes, as well as holding group classes in Highworth. Emma also works at Highworth Physiotherapy Clinic.

Emma also runs workshops at the clinic titled “Health and Wellbeing Through the Menopause Years and Beyond”. This comprehensive workshop covers all aspects of the menopause and post-menopause health.
Ergonomic Assessments, or workstation assessments, are offered by Emma either online or face-to-face. She assesses the set-up of desktop equipment and posture to prevent symptoms such as back pain, wrist and hand issues, etc.
She is committed to continuing professional development to enhance professional practice. In recent years Emma has undertaken several postgraduate courses on menopause as this is an area of women’s health that is gaining more recognition. Emma has also completed the brand new Menopause Movement Professional Development Training Programme. She is a member of Physio First (the organisation for Physiotherapists working in private practice). Emma is a registered member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Health and Care Professions Council.
