Hannah has been a qualified Osteopath for 24 years and is the founder of Osteopathy First. She completed Pilates Instructor training in 2004 and earned a Post Graduate Certificate in Sports & Exercise Rehabilitation from the University of Hatfield’s Physiotherapy Department in 2010. In 2011, she was selected as one of the few Osteopaths to work within the central medical teams at both the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where she was part of the multi-disciplinary Physical Therapies teams. Now semi-retired, Hannah sees patients only on Tuesdays in Gamlingay and Wednesdays in Stevenage.

​

Hannah has a particular interest in lower limb biomechanics, orthotic prescription, and treating patients with hypermobility spectrum disorder. She frequently receives referrals from consultants and other practitioners for patients who have not responded to standard treatments. Her diverse patient list includes individuals from all walks of life. Hannah especially enjoys helping patients both pre- and post-operatively, guiding them to reach their goals and regain strength and function.

​

Her areas of expertise include treating plantar fasciopathy (fasciitis), knee pain, and early-stage osteoarthritis of the knees and hips in patients who are not yet ready for joint replacement. Additionally, Hannah has a personal connection to rehabilitation following ankle fractures and ORIF, having made an exceptional recovery from such an injury and surgery in December 2016. In her spare time, she enjoys showing dogs, floristry, and practicing yoga.

Hannah is also a qualified Canine Osteopath, having expanded her human-focused training with a post-graduate qualification from the European School of Osteopathy. For more information on how Osteopathy can benefit your dog, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
