The Team

Allow me to introduce myself, I first set up BounceBack Physio in 2005 in the Midlands where we built a thriving practice. In the summer of 2010 my family and I relocated to Hoxne in Suffolk. In the same year we opened up a clinic in Harleston where we will continue to offer the same high standards we have provided since 2005. I studied at Sheffield Hallam University and since graduating have completed many post graduate courses one most notable been Acupuncture. I have thousands of clinical hours experience working within private practice dealing with common day-to-day injuries frequently treating clients with headaches, neck and back pain, stiffness, muscle weakness, instability and reduced mobility. I am, therefore, experienced in treating all types of musculoskeletal disorders.

I also have years of postgraduate experience working within sports such as Professional Football and World Championship Boxing. During my time in professional football I was Head of the Medical Department at Port Vale FC and I am currently still involved with TheFA and England as medical support staff. I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), Health Professionals Council (HPC), Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Sports Medicine (ACPSM) and a practising Acupuncturist member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).

My name is Emily Bower and I am a professional dance teacher and Pilates instructor. I studied at Laine Theatre Arts, where I gained my Teaching Certificates as well as graduating with a Diploma in Musical Theatre and performed in a number of Summer Seasons, Pantomimes, Gala events and even at the Palace Theatre in the West End.

Fitness and wellbeing is also very important to me and I believe that Pilates is a perfect exercise programme to work alongside physiotherapy rehabilitation. I also believe that it is something that you should continue after your rehabilitation is complete as part of your weekly exercise and fitness regime. The strength, flexibility and body awareness Pilates gives you is great and will compliment any other fitness programme you follow.
