PT-Together Free Webinar: Episode 2

Emma Jack is a sport and orthopedic physiotherapist and owns her own practice Press Play Physiotherapy and Pilates in London, Ontario. She is a graduate of McMaster University’s physiotherapy program and subsequently earned her Masters of Clinical Science in Manual and Manipulative Physical Therapy. Emma also holds her Sport Physiotherapy Diploma, is a Fellow of the Academy of Manual and Manipulative Physical Therapy and is a lead therapist with the Canadian National Women’s Hockey Team.

Sounds pretty cool, right? While those accomplishments and credentials do bring a sense of pride Emma also recognizes that many of those things are ultimately what also left her feeling intense anxiety, overwhelmed and burnt out.

Her credentials may span two lines on a business card but in recent years Emma has totally transformed her practice and her life in order to ensure that her career as a physiotherapist does not define her but rather she gets to define what it means to her. She feels passionate about sharing her story and journey so that those who identify with it know they are not alone. Everyone’s career path, goals and needs are different and Emma is fuelled by helping other health care providers and professionals on their journey to personal and professional success.

Shanté continues to practice as a physical therapist very selectively in a non-traditional, cash-based setting, utilizing a movement-based, neuro-centric treatment approach that incorporates manual therapy, corrective exercises, and techniques such as kinesiology taping, cupping, and IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization).

Shanté is a proud instructor for RockTape, drives a hypergreen Jeep Wrangler, and wishes to leave you with this message:

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.
