Emily King holds a Doctor of Physiotherapy from Bond University (2025) and a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado (2021). Originally from the United States and raised in California, Emily moved to Australia for her postgraduate studies and made the Tweed Coast her home.
She bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and long-term strength — working with patients who want more than pain relief. Whether it is a surfer navigating ACL rehabilitation, a woman rebuilding bone density, or an older adult maintaining independence, Emily provides a structured, movement-first approach designed to support health for decades.
Emily is certified in dry needling and uses Clinical Pilates as a bridge between pain management and long-term functional strength.
Emily approaches every patient through a longevity lens — asking not just ‘how do we fix this injury?’ but ‘how do we build a body that functions well for the next 20 years?’ She challenges the tendency towards passive treatment and the ‘wait and see’ trap.
Her clinical work integrates functional biomechanics analysis (surfing pop-ups, running gait, lifting form), progressive loading principles and the Physio-Pilates bridge — using physiotherapy to manage pain and Pilates to build the stability and resilience that supports long-term movement.
Emily is particularly focused on correcting misinformation around bone health, challenging the widespread but incorrect belief that people with osteopenia or osteoporosis should avoid lifting. Evidence consistently supports progressive loading as a cornerstone of bone density management.
