ABOUT EMPC

Meet the team

East Midlands Physiotherapy Clinic (EMPC) was established in 1998 by founding
co-partners Judith Pitt-Brooke and Frances Polak. Judith & Fran met whilst lecturing at Nottingham University as Lecturer in the Medical School and researcher in the Department of Orthopaedics respectively. Their shared special interest in the management of painful musculoskeletal problems (joints, muscles and ligaments) and a desire to promote the use of the latest evidence in clinical physiotherapy practice led to the opening of EMPC in February 1998.

Since then the clinic has grown rapidly and the team now comprises nine physiotherapists, a podiatrist and three administrative/support staff.

The clinic welcomes self referred patients as well as receiving referrals from GPs and Specialist Consultants from across the region. In addition the EMPC team provides physiotherapy clinics in-house for several major employers locally.
The clinic benefits from spacious and comfortable surroundings, and is equipped with the latest in computerised diagnostic and treatment technology, including a unique diagnostic biomechanics measurement system developed within the clinic and a specific gym/exercise area.

Our physiotherapists have all specialised in manipulative physiotherapy at post graduate level and we are able to offer the widest possible expertise through the hands of our experienced team.

We are proud to have built a very strong reputation locally, as well as gaining recognition throughout the Midlands and across the UK as a specialist centre advising professional and elite sports clubs and individuals on specific aspects of injury management and optimal performance, based on diagnostic techniques developed By Frances Polak and Judith Pitt-Brooke.
