Emily Eglitis

Physiotherapist (B.Physio, 1st Class Hons)
- Certified Practitioner Connect Therapy (LJLCP) 2015-2022
- Level 3 Senior Yoga Teacher (Yoga Australia)
- Member Australian Physiotherapy Association (MAPA)
- Pilates Level 1 & 2 (Dance Medicine Australia) 2007
Emily Eglitis (formerly Emily Smith) is a fully qualified Physiotherapist & is recognised through Yoga Australia as a Senior Level 3 Yoga Teacher (12 years experience) with further training in The Pilates Method.
Emily has undergone extensive training and mentoring in ConnectTherapy and the Thoracic Ring Approach which informs the PhysiYoga Approach. Over the years Emily has trained in a wide variety of other manual therapy techniques including:
- Soft tissue release & massage
- Trigger point therapy
- Visceral manipulation
- Muscle Energy Techniques for the Thorax and Pelvis
- Craniosacral Therapy
It was through ConnectTherapy that Emily re-discovered her love of movement; In 2012 Emily struggled to run four kilometres before back and hip pain stopped her. She’d given up netball and the range of yoga postures she was able to do seemed to be decreasing. With the discovery of ConnectTherapy and combining it with Yoga & Pilates, she started running completing three 21.1km half marathons before finishing the Barossa Full Marathon in May 2015 (yep – the full 42.2km!).
When Emily’s not at work you’ll probably find her with her family, playing sport (softball or netball) or running somewhere around Strathalbyn.
