Em is a Titled Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist with more than 10 years of experience in both clinical practice and working with athletes at all levels, from grassroots to professional. After a recent stint in the UK, Em has returned to Australia following her role with Championship team Derby County FC as lead physiotherapist for the men’s reserves and U21 teams. She also gained invaluable experience with top-tier teams, Arsenal FC and Kent County Cricket Club.
Before relocating to the UK, Em worked as head physiotherapist for teams in both the NPL (Adelaide Comets FC) and SANFL (Norwood FC). With a background in competitive tennis and experience as a tournament physio, she brings valuable insight into the demands of high-performance sport, as well as injury management and rehabilitation needs specific to different sporting and work environments.
Em takes a holistic, athlete-centred approach, focusing on both effective recovery and long-term injury prevention. She tailors each program to the individual, integrating gym based and on-field rehab to ensure a smooth return to performance. Her qualifications in dry needling and clinical Pilates further assist in delivering targeted, evidence-based care to support each client’s specific goals.
Now based back in Adelaide, Em has remained active at the elite level, working in the SACA Pathways Program and with Football Australia’s U23 Women’s national team.
