Sophie Kite
Hi! I am Sophie, I graduated from Birmingham City University as a Sports Therapist in 2022. During my training at university, I carried out a work placement within the university’s injury clinic and at Bromsgrove Sporting Football Club. Here I gained experience working with football athletes.
Since leaving university I have been able to increase my knowledge whilst working at Emerald Chiropractic. Throughout my time here at the clinic, I have been able to help many patients coming in with a variety of injuries. Some who are athletes and some whom suffer with everyday aches and pains. All as important as each other, with their treatment being specific and tailored to the individual.
As well as working within the clinic, I am also a sports therapist at Evesham United Football Club. Being responsible for pitch side care and treatment to semi-professional players during each fixture. Off the pitch, a variety of treatment is provided from preventing injuries to rehabilitating injuries. Each player and their injury is very different.
I am now also qualified within Hot Stone massage which I’ve found an amazing way for patients to be able to relax and be relived from any tension and stress. Throughout this year, I am looking forward to developing my knowledge even further by attending on many CPD courses.
