Danica Emery – Physiotherapist

I became a physiotherapist because I have a passion for helping people be the best version of themselves. Watching somebody achieve their goal is the best part of my job.

Working in private practice settings, I have treated patients with a wide range of issues using both hands-on and clinical pilates. I believe in a holistic, individualised approach to treatment and love helping patients to heal from the inside-out.

I love being physically active and believe it is an important part of our overall health. Therefore, I am passionate about assisting all my clients, whether they have a sporting injury or pelvic health concern, to return to sport, exercise and movement safely.

After having my first child, I realised the lack of support available for postnatal women and decided to undertake further training in Women’s Health. I have since trained in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy & exercise and completed a Masters in Pelvic Health Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne.

Outside of work I enjoy playing netball, gym workouts and being active with my two young children.

Physiotherapy isn't just for adults! Children with Faecal Incontinence can be distressing for both children and their parents, but there's hope! Paediatric faecal incontinence refers to the involuntary passage of stool in children who are beyond the age of toilet training. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic constipation, developmental delays, neurological issues and anatomical abnormalities. Regardless of the cause, the impact on a child's quality of life can be significant.
