Emma Lyon - Physiotherapist
Emma graduated from Sydney University with a Masters of Physiotherapy in 2015 and started her career in private practice, treating sporting and active populations.
Emma has worked closely with both amateur and elite athletes in the clinic and on the sideline of sports fields. She has worked as the team physiotherapist for our own Cronulla Sharks Harvey Norman Women’s team and local AFL teams. She has also worked alongside other physiotherapists at GWS giants AFL and the Huskisson triathlon festival.
Emma’s value for movement and physical activity is what drives her passion for Physiotherapy. She understands the frustration that comes from not being able to perform at your physical best, whether that be when running, in the gym or on the sporting field. She knows that when you’re away from what you love it affects you not just physically but also mentally and socially when you’re not as connected with your mates in the gym/team.
Emma’s treatment style uses a combination of hands on treatment along with exercise and movement to get you back sooner! She will assess you as a whole, provide you with expert guidance and advice around what your pain means, what needs to be done to return you to your best and how to continue training without making it worse.
Emma has also completed extra studies in the assessment and management of sports injuries, clinical pilates, the creation of custom rehabilitation and performance improvement programs, treatment of the thoracic cage and ribs and assessment and treatment of shoulder injuries.
Outside of the clinic, Emma enjoys spending her spare time in the gym doing Crossfit, playing golf on the weekends, drinking coffee and supporting her AFL club – Richmond.
If you have a sports injury that won’t heal on its own, call us on (02) 8544 3680 to make an appointment with Emma. She will help you get back to your sport as soon as possible. Online bookings are also available.

Though there are a number of potential factors that may contribute to the development of plagiocephaly and torticollis in an infant, there are ways it can be avoided or prevented 😁
It is important to encourage activities that promote early head control, such as:
- Cradling your baby's head in the middle when they are awake and alert.
- Gently talk or sing to your baby to encourage them to keep their head there.
- Once your baby is able to maintain eye contact, catch their attention and slowly move back and forth, allowing them to follow your face by turning their head.
- Offer early tummy time by placing them on your chest and encouraging them to lift their head.
If you feel you need further guidance on recognising or preventing these conditions in your infant, schedule an appointment with our Paediatric physiotherapist, Bree!
Book by calling us on 📞(02) 8544 3680, or by clicking the link in our bio! 💻
When gauging whether an infant is suffering from plagiocephaly and/or toriticollis, parents may notice 🤔:
- Their baby prefers to turn their head to one side (e.g. towards the right) when sleeping or at other times when positioned on their back.
- Their baby can't keep their head turned in the opposite direction (e.g. towards the left).
- Their baby has a head tilt
- Their baby has a misshapen head (i.e. the back of the head is flattened in appearance)
Look out for out next post where we outline some preventative measures! 👀 In the meantime, if you're concerned that your child is suffering from either of these conditions, book a consultation with our highly experienced Paediatric physiotherapist, Brianna! ☺️
