Meet the Tennis Elbow Queen Emma Green
Virtual Physical Therapy. It's a thing and it works. Emma Green shares with us how she has helped many people around the globe recover from injuries from sports like tennis and golf without surgery or invasive measures. Back pain? She has a program for you too.
Emma found physical therapy through being a patient herself at age 13 – after the doctor told her that she needed to give up gymnastics – which she thankfully didn’t have to do. She quickly realized that physical therapy was the career for her as she thoroughly enjoys helping people and solving people's health and wellness challenges, many times surprising the medical doctors by how well her clients recover.
A common phrase you’ll hear her say is “I love proving the doctors wrong!” when clients are told they will have to give up something they love, like soccer, running or even long walks.

Creating Confidence that Lasts with Eimear Zone
Good Health is often taken for granted. It is a pretty normal for us to do as humans but when your health begins to fail you and you are diagnosed with a chronic non-curable condition like Eimear was, you have to dig deep to push forward. She shares her story of the power of healing using a holistic approach. Eimear did not innately have the confidence she needed to make changes but she was able to create it and expand on it with inner work.

Eimear is a Confidence Coach and author of "The Little Book of Good Enough" - an impact focused guide to help readers quieten their inner critic, release themselves from the depletion of self-doubt, and ultimately own their worth.
