Emma

Emma is a clinical exercise trainer at Longevity Health and Fitness. She works with clients navigating a wide range of health conditions, with a particular focus on neurological rehabilitation, brain injuries and active ageing.

She works with clients living with conditions such as MS, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Dementia, and rare neurological disorders, including Syringomyelia and Myasthenia. Emma also supports ageing clients who are looking to improve everyday movement and reduce pain, particularly in tasks like getting in and out of bed or improving balance and mobility.

Her sessions focus on building strength, balance, coordination, proprioception, and walking gait. These take place in a range of settings, from client homes to local gyms and parks. Emma takes a functional, client-led approach, adapting exercises to support daily living and overall wellbeing.

She often works alongside physiotherapists and case managers to ensure clients receive the care they need, which supports her own development as a well-rounded practitioner.

With over 14 years of experience teaching swimming, Emma brings a deep understanding of movement both in water and on land, skills that translate directly into strength, stability, and functional mobility for her clients. She is also newly qualified in Cardiac Rehabilitation and is delivering group-based recovery sessions across North London.

Emma is passionate about her work and takes pride in supporting clients to manage their health conditions, maintain independence, and feel more confident, especially on the days when clients aren’t feeling their best.

Iris

Aged 85, I was referred to Longevity Health & Fitness by my Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine to arrange for a personal trainer to help me with strengthening & conditioning execrcises.

They asked Emma Hickey to look after me, and for the past 4 weeks, she has been with me in the gym, three times a week. Using the excercises & plan she has chosed for me, I am making remarkable progress. Emma is an excellent trainer and I would certainly recommend her. She is kind and patient, explains everything clearly, and has helped me through.

Thank you Emma – Seymour
