At Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy, we have been very lucky to have acquired the services and “luck of the Irish” in travelling locum Emma Donaghey. Emma has already made quite an impression in the area, quickly securing a spot on the Merimbula Diggers AFL team as team physio and game day sports physio alongside her fiancé Terrence who was a very welcome addition to the playing side.
Emma has recently returned from Sydney, where she completed training in APA Level 2 Women’s Health. Emma is now available in both our Bega and Merimbula clinics for Women’s Health appointments.
Emma studied physiotherapy at Ulster University, Northern Ireland. She went on to complete a Master's degree in Sports and Exercise Medicine. Emma grew up in rural Ireland and is passionate about providing quality services to rural areas.
Emma has worked with a range of sports teams, including providing physiotherapy support for a top league soccer team for 3 seasons and at the UEFA Women's Champions League in Finland and Romania.
Her clinical interests include Women’s Health, musculoskeletal and sports injury management, exercise rehabilitation, and Pilates.
Emma is a qualified Pilates instructor through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute and is trained in dry needling techniques to complement her treatment approach.
Outside the clinic, Emma enjoys Crossfit, going for a run, or taking a dip in the sea.
Emma works in our Bega and Merimbula clinics. Call 64920023 to make an appointment or book online at www.sapphirecoastphysio.com
