ABOUT ME

My name's Emma Hill and I'm a physiotherapist, a pilates teacher, and a pre and postnatal exercise coach. I have two young children, a dog, a husband and I love being active. I believe exercise has so many benefits for so many people and I am passionate about keeping people active. Lockdown taught me to follow my dreams and in 2020 MoveWell was born! 

 

 I qualified as a physiotherapist from Nottingham University in 2008 and have worked in a variety of different areas since then including musculoskeletal outpatients and paediatrics, both in the NHS and private practice.

 

I treat all musculoskeletal injuries and conditions in both adults and children. I am passionate about helping patients achieve their goals but I have found most people are told what not to do as part of their treatment for injuries or set backs- but I like to focus on what you can do. My aim is to keep you moving and get you back to or keep you doing the things that you want to and love.

​

I love Pilates and I believe that Pilates can benefit everyone and am passionate about making it accessible and relevant to as many people as possible.  I've completed the three APPI matwork courses and while I love the physio-led method I also like to adapt exercises and add in my own to help make classes more varied and person-specific. I currently teach a weekly Pilates class at a small gym in Altrincham, and offer 1:1 or small group sessions.

​

After having my kids I was disappointed with the lack of information about postnatal exercise, and found it difficult to find postnatal specific exercise classes. I want to help pregnant and postnatal women stay active, and give them the advice and information I wish I had had so that they can have a positive exercise journey. I currently coach the Mum and Baby CrossFit-style class (MumWOD) at MSquared Fitness.

​

I used to play a lot of hockey, and then moved into triathlon and have completed 6 Ironman triathlons (my last one was Challenge Almere in 2023) and 3 half Ironman triathlons, and I also love CrossFit. I operate out of a therapy room at my CrossFit gym, M Squared Fitness, which gives us access to a fantastic gym to help with your rehabilitation or exercise journey. My experience with CrossFit also means I understand those technical lifts and gymnastic moves, so we can rehab you back to full (Cross)fitness together! And I've completed the Burgener Weightlifting Level 1 Course, the CrossFit Gymnastics course and I am a Level 1 CrossFit Coach. I also have experience in endurance sport related injuries and love to work with athletes to keep them working towards their goals of long distance events, whether its running, cycling, swimming or triathlon. I can also do 1:1 or small group Pilates sessions in your home, and I enjoy adding variety to any rehab programme by including variations of Pilates movements.

​

I love exercise and think it's important for everyone, whatever your level may be and I want to keep you moving. Often you don't need to stop exercising, you just need to do something different. Please get in touch for any appointments, or with any questions you may have. I'm excited to meet you and keep you moving!
