EMMA GREENE
physiotherapist

A dedicated physiotherapist with vast experience working with people with Parkinson’s Disease.

Emma pursued a degree in physiotherapy to help those with Parkinson’s Disease, after her grandfather was diagnosed when she was young. She graduated from the University of Brighton in 2015 with a degree in physiotherapy. Her final year thesis was based on the effects of exercise on people with neurological disorders. Since graduating, she has worked continuously with people with Parkinson’s, both in the acute hospital setting and also in private practice and community care settings. Emma worked as a physiotherapist in Beaumont Hospital Dublin, the national centre for neurology and neurosurgery in Ireland, with vast experience working in advanced respiratory care and rehabilitation of individuals in the Neurology Intensive Care Unit in Beaumont Hospital.

Most recently, she worked with individuals with COVID-19, both in the Intensive Care Unit and in the rehabilitation centre in Letterkenny University Hospital, which included individuals with Parkinson’s who had contracted COVID-19. She understands that the care of individuals with Parkinson’s requires care for the individual as a whole, not just how an individual moves, or what physical symptoms they have.

Emma has worked closely with neurologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and psychotherapists throughout her career caring for individuals with Parkinson’s, which has allowed her to care for individuals in a holistic manner. Her passion for her role as a physiotherapist, allows her to assist individuals to improve their quality of life, and to facilitate them on their journey to independence.

Emma is enthusiastic about the outdoors, in particular sea swimming, cycling and surfing. She recognises the therapeutic benefits of the outdoors, and is keen to bring this to her practice with Parkinson No Limits.
