Me and my tribe!
Hi, Iām emma wellard.
To introduce myself, I am a specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist and have worked in this field for over 15 years. Due to my keen interest in sports injuries and rehabilitation, I took further studies to gain an MSc in Sport and Exercise Medicine. I am a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and I am qualified to teach Clinical Pilates.
Having worked in private practice and within sport for some time I have gained the experience to successfully treat many groups of patients. These include those with a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems, those recovering post operatively, the elderly requiring help with mobility and balance, those injured in sports and everyone in between!
With 3 children of my own and a background of teaching clinical Pilates I am equipped to treat those with pregnancy and post natal musculoskeletal problems.
I love sport and have been privileged to work with a variety of sports men and women over the years. As a family we are bike mad and I enjoy helping riders recover from injury and rehab effectively so their return to riding is a smooth one. I was a keen horse rider and I have a special interest in assessing and treating the postural problems and muscle imbalance issues that riders often encounter. I have a screening programme to identify riders strengths and weaknesses to enable them to perform better.
I have the expertise to treat a range of age groups from young to old and have spent time developing the knowledge and skills to effectively treat young sporty kids.
I am passionate about providing the best level of care to all my patients and look forward to welcoming you into the clinic.
The Clinic
Based in the heart of Innerleithen, at 46 High Street you will find Performance Physio and Pilates new Physio, Rehab and Pilates space. The clinic will serve the communities of Innerleithen, Peebles, Walkerburn and the surrounding areas. I wanted to create a clinic which provided a spacious and bright environment to undertake your treatment and rehabilitation. The space allows me to take you from the early stage of treatment through to the late stage rehab all under one roof, with the space to exercise as well as receive hands on treatment. The clinic is spacious enough to be able to host small group Pilates classes as well as 1:2:1 Pilates sessions.
