Emily Fox

Principal Physiotherapist and Director at Allevia Physiotherapy

Qualifications:

APA Titled Pain Physiotherapist
Bachelor of Physiotherapy
Master of Science in Medicine - Pain Management (Specialising in Orofacial Pain)
Certificate of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (Curtain University)

Emily Fox completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy through James Cook University in 2013. She began her physiotherapy career working in a general physiotherapy practice covering a variety of general physiotherapy work.

She later developed a keen interest in headache, neck and jaw conditions and was fortunate enough to gain work in the area over a number of years. During this time, she developed strong referral relationships and worked collaboratively with Oral maxillofacial surgeons, GPs, ENTs, Dentists, Prosthodontists and other health professionals. Whilst there is a genuine love for the treatment of all pain complaints, she became particularly passionate about the restoration of function and participation in life for those suffering with headache, spinal pain and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Emily enjoys facilitating the patient journey with care and individualised guidance to ensure the best possible outcomes for her patients. Her favourite part of the clinical journey is seeing her patients develop self-efficacy and begin to take charge in their recovery. She believes that a thoughtful assessment and treatment approach is fundamental in ensuring that they have the confidence and tools to participate to the fullest. In her spare time she enjoys doing Brazilian jiu jitsu, soccer, dancing, playing music and spending quality time with her family and friends.
