Emilie Brussat is a physiotherapist based in Thornleigh, in Sydney’s north. You can find the practice at 165 Dartford Rd, Thornleigh NSW 2120. Emilie works with people who want to move better and feel more comfortable day to day, whether the problem has been hanging around for a while or popped up more recently.
Physiotherapy can help when you’ve got pain, stiffness, or joints that don’t quite feel right. In many cases, it also helps if your body has started to cope in its own way because of posture, work habits, or day-to-day movement. Emilie focuses on practical ways to improve how you use your body, not just quick fixes.
The sessions often include physical therapy exercises to build strength, improve control, and help you get back to what you want to do. Exercises can be tailored to your level and adjusted over time, especially as things start to change. At times, joint work is part of the plan too, including joint mobilisation, which aims to reduce tightness and help joints move more smoothly.
Posture is another common starting point. If you’re slumped at a desk, holding yourself differently, or moving the same way all day, it can add extra strain over time. Emilie looks at how you sit and move, then helps with posture correction strategies that are realistic for everyday life, not just for the clinic.
Pain management techniques are also part of the toolkit. This can mean learning how to handle symptoms better so you can keep moving, stay active, and avoid the cycle of “rest then stiffen up again”. The goal is usually steadier progress, with a plan that makes sense for your routine.
Emilie is happy to work in English and French. If you speak French at home or prefer that language during appointments, it can make sessions feel a lot easier and less stressful.
Education-wise, Emilie has physiotherapy training and keeps her approach grounded in hands-on care and clear home guidance. That means you should leave knowing what to do next, why it helps, and how to track small changes as you go.
