"Being a performance athlete can be tough on your body but thankfully at UWE Bristol, we are blessed to work closely with Emily and her amazing team. From massages to ice buckets and ankle tape, she is always there to help us maintain and rehab our bodies for the season."
"Emily is an exceptional sports therapist who has been an unwavering support. Her outstanding knowledge coupled with a compassionate personality made our sessions incredibly valuable. I received top-notch treatment and gained a deeper understanding of my own body and its needs. What truly sets Emily apart is her holistic approach to sports therapy. She doesn't just focus on addressing the immediate concern, she also prioritises long-term wellness and injury prevention."
"Emily has been incredible. Whether I was dealing with small, difficult injuries or just needed a massage, she always supported me. She tailored treatments to what I needed and checked up on me regularly to make sure I was on track. Her positive vibes and constant support played a huge role in keeping me strong throughout the season. Big shout-out to Emily for being an awesome part of my journey and the programme."
