Hannah Shanks

Senior Physiotherapist

Hannah graduated with a BSc Hons in Physiology with Sports Biomedicine before completing a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from Kings College London in 2013. She is a Chartered Physiotherapist with over thirteen years experience, having spent half of that time working in Sports and Orthopaedic medicine at a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence.

Hannah’s underlying philosophy is “exercise is medicine,” whilst maintaining the traditional hands on approach. Hannah works holistically to treat the body as a whole in order to resolve pain and restore movement, strength and function. This may include a combination of manual therapy, acupuncture, taping, electrotherapy, education and exercise prescription.

Since having her baby in 2017, Hannah has developed a strong interest in Women’s Health Physiotherapy. She is a Mummy MOT Practitioner and is passionate about helping mums recover and achieve their goals from their 6-8 week post natal check and beyond. Having also completed her full APPI Clinical Pilates certification with equipment, Hannah frequently integrates Clinical Pilates to her rehabilitation programs whereby she is able to help those with musculoskeletal conditions exercise safely and effectively.

In her spare time, Hannah enjoys training and competing in a variety of fitness events. She thrives off empowering other, loves being by the sea and spending time with family and friends. Hannah is a Hyrox World Championship Qualifier with a special interest in Hyrox injuries.
