Early in her career Page struggled with the yips (a loss of fine motor skills in athletes) for two years which affected her confidence and performance, but she overcame it in 2010 with the help of a confidence coach. She competed in her first World Championships in 2010, where she finished fourth in the individual event. At the 2011 World Championships she was part of the team that won the silver medal in the team event. She missed the 2012 Olympic Games in London due to illness and injury problems, but won the individual gold medal at the 2012 World Cup in Sofia.

At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Page and her British team-mate Kat Driscoll became Great Britain's first ever finalists in trampolining, with Page qualifying in seventh position.
