Who Emma Works With
Emma's practice is built around active adults 40+ who have been told their knee pain is "just wear and tear" or who've tried generalist physio without lasting results. Her clients are typically:
-
Runners, walkers, gym-goers and cyclists who want to stay active
-
People managing knee osteoarthritis who want to avoid or delay surgery
-
ACL patients navigating recovery beyond the first few weeks
-
Post-surgical patients whose progress has stalled
If that sounds like you, an initial assessment will give you a clear diagnosis, a straight answer on what's driving your pain, and a plan that actually matches your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
How do I know if physiotherapy is right for me?
If you’ve had knee pain for over a week that hasn’t improved with rest and it’s affecting your daily activities, it may be worth getting assessed.
You don’t need a referral to see me, and I’ll tailor your plan to your goals and lifestyle.
​
How soon after surgery should I start physio?
For most knee surgeries, you can see a private physiotherapist around two weeks post-op, depending on your surgeon’s protocol. Early movement is often recommended to support mobility and reduce stiffness.
Can physio help avoid knee surgery?
For some conditions especially osteoarthritis and other joint-related pain, physiotherapy may help reduce symptoms and improve function, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.​​
