Hello my name is Hannah...[edit | edit source]
I was inspired to become a physiotherapist after sustaining a variety of severe sports injuries which required invasive surgery, and resulted in me using a wheelchair from the ages of 18-20.
It was after receiving extensive physiotherapy that my desire to help people in a similar situation began, and lead me to complete a degree in Sports and Exercise rehabilitation at Middlesex University, for which I graduated with first class honours in 2013.
During this degree I completed a placement in a private physiotherapy clinic working alongside a variety of physiotherapists and sports therapists in and around London, with high end clients- including Arsenal Football Club. This placement inspired me to become a physiotherapist and I graduated from Coventry University with a First Class Honours degree in 2017.
I began my first job as a junior MSK Physiotherapist later that year within the NHS and absolutely LOVE my job!
I have learned so much as a junior, and have a special interest in Knee joint and Shoulder joint conditions.
I first heard about Physiopedia when I attended Physiotherapy UK in my first year of study. I continued to use it as a resource throughout my studies and still use it today as a qualified Physiotherapist.
About Me[edit | edit source]
