About Me
Hi I'm Emma,
Do you have pain or niggles when running? Does it stop you from doing what you want to or achieving your goals? Want to run but feel like you need some support? If so, I can help!
I set up EH Sports Therapy & Movement in 2011. Following a constantly interrupted & early aborted time as a hockey player due to injury, I trained as a Sports Therapist graduating from Bath University in 2011. I wanted to help people like me to remain active despite injury or pain. I worked in multi-disciplinary clinics in Bristol with other practitioners (such as physiotherapists, osteopaths & chiropractors) following the completion of my degree & in 2015 I relocated to Weston-super-Mare & set up my home-based clinic. I have recently moved into a purpose-built space complete with a treadmill & weights so that I can offer the best environment possible to help you to return from injury or to improve your performance regardless of your level of fitness or age.
I have had surgery on both legs & my lower back so understand the frustration of not being able to do what you love & how hard it can be to rehabilitate back to full health. I love helping people to return to what they enjoy & have a special interest in running injuries & assessing running technique.
I was told (following my leg surgeries) that I would never be able to run but in October 2021 completed my first half marathon & ran London Marathon in April 2024! I love a Park Run on a Saturday morning (sometimes with my springer spaniel Sammy towing me along!) & of course, the socialising with everyone post event! I also enjoy walking & have completed several 20- & 30-mile challenges over the years.
In addition to my Sports Therapy work, I teach Pilates. I used Pilates both pre & post spinal surgery to keep my body in the best state possible. I found it so beneficial (& enjoyable!) that based on my personal experience I decided to train as a STOTT Pilates Matwork Instructor in 2014. I combine aspects of both Sports Therapy & Pilates to provide the best service possible when helping someone to rehabilitate from an injury.
