Why Timely Sports Rehab Matters

Prompt and structured rehabilitation after injury can significantly reduce downtime, restore performance, and prevent recurrent injuries. Delays in treatment often lead to compensatory movement patterns, secondary injuries, and reduced confidence 

Emma's goal is not just recovery—but better movement, better resilience, and better performance.

Our Sports Rehabilitation Approach

Emma combines the latest research with sport-specific experience to guide your recovery through every phase.

  • Acute injury management – compression, offloading, and manual therapy to reduce pain and inflammation

  • Strength & agility training – Tailored programs to rebuild power, stability, and dynamic control

  • Biomechanical assessments – Identifying movement faults or load errors that led to injury 

  • Return-to-sport programming – Using validated test batteries to ensure safe return

What to Expect During Rehab

  • Early Phase: Pain control, rest, protected movement, early muscle activation

  • Mid Phase: Strengthening, neuromuscular retraining, cardiovascular conditioning

  • Late Phase: Plyometrics, reactive agility, return-to-play testing
