Emma qualified as a chartered physiotherapist in July 2011 from the University of Liverpool. After qualifying she worked in a NHS musculoskeletal outpatients department for twelve months where she consolidated her passion for assessing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Emma then completed her junior training in a rotational position within the NHS gaining further experience in Musculoskeletal but also respiratory, neuro and orthopaedics. Emma progressed to a senior rotational position where she mainly chose to rotate between MSK and orthopaedics. In 2016 Emma commenced a role developing and leading a physiotherapy service within an Occupational Health department where she further expanded her knowledge, treating a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions but also specialised in work related injury, prevention of injury through physical activity, ergonomics/ DSE assessment and fitness to work advice.

Throughout her career Emma has maintained a commitment to ongoing learning and development.
