Emily Cooper

Originally from Ripon, I have been in York for 3 years completing my BSc Sport and Exercise Therapy degree. Whilst finishing my degree I have been practicing sport massage allowing me to build experience working with a large variety of people from sporting and non-sporting backgrounds. Since completing my degree I have worked as a Sport Therapist for a rugby team, as well as working in clinic. I have been able to help athletes from many sports, such as ultra-marathon runners, footballers, bodybuilders and semi-professional rugby players. Having worked with a rugby team for many seasons, and have had the chance to assess and rehabilitate a wide range of injuries on and off the pitch, using manual therapy and exercise based techniques. My approach is to work together on creating the best individualised

rehabilitation plan for you to achieve your goals. I have been lucky enough to work with the Cook Islands Womenโ€™s Rugby league team during the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, providing pre and post-game massage and manual therapy to help them during their tournament.

Having worked with a wide range of athletes from different sports during my time at university, I have helped many get back to the sport or exercise they love in the most efficient way for them, restoring functionality and movement most suited to their goals. I have additional qualifications in sport massage, Rock-taping, first aid for sport and exercise and fitness instructing which all contribute towards providing the best rehab, or prehab, possible for you.

I have been involved in sport all my life, including playing rugby for many years and in my spare time you will find me in the gym or practicing yoga as well as enjoying the countryside, my favourite place to be!
