I’m Emma Reid , a Chartered Physiotherapist, registered with the HCPC and a sports massage therapist. My love for physiotherapy evolved from my love of sport and my desire to help people move better and feel better. I also have a passion for physio-led pilates and learning how to adapt exercises to people with varying health conditions.
Throughout my undergraduate degree I had a variety of placements within the physiotherapy profession that allowed me to develop my clinical skills to help people of all ages, with a variety of health conditions, illnesses and injuries.
Upon completion of my degree, I was very lucky to be able to do a ski season where I worked as a sports masseuse, delivering sports massage. This opportunity allowed me to develop my sports massage skills and how to manage skiing- related aches and pains.
My experience of sports massage in clinic and sport settings has enhanced my knowledge and confidence of how to manage patients who have ongoing aches and pains , pre and post event or as part of their rehabilitation programme.
Outside of work I enjoy playing sport , attending the gym , running, skiing and participating in pilates.
I am really looking forward to working as a physiotherapist at Handforth Physiotherapy and rehab clinic , where I believe the best approach in physiotherapy is treating a patient as an individual and aligning their treatment plans with their goals, to ultimately live a better quality of life.
