"Hannah came to treat my wife, Chris, in September 2016 and remained faithful to her until her death the following May. We only knew the cause of Chris's illness a few days before the end, but Hannah indicated during her treatment that she was not altogether sure that the doctors and consultants were on the right track.
Hannah makes every effort to know and understand her patients and the family relationships they enjoy. Never anything but punctual for appointments, she attended to Chris with a kind, but firm manner. As my wife weakened, Hannah took every account of her condition and tailored the treatment accordingly. Chris looked forward to her visits, even when she was not really up to them. Hannah got the best out of her and, for a while, was able to reverse in some measure what we did not know was the inevitable fatal paralysis.
I have no hesitation in recommending her to others; indeed, they would be most fortunate to come under her professional attention."
Tony Paice
"Hannah gave me the hope and confidence I needed to get out there and start living again. She really listened to me and was extremely patient at a time when I was incredibly anxious. "
Lauren
"Many thanks Hannah, Mum and Dad were really impressed. It has been a battle since Dad was discharged to find support that they believe in, so thank you"
Sean, Client's son
"Hannah is fabulous and has made such a difference to my recovery. Cannot recommend her enough"
Sue Hookins
"Hannah couldn't be kinder. Always so encouraging. I have continually made progress which has given me greater control over my movement and more freedom to move"
Margaret
"Hannah is able to bring out the best in a situation (whatever the diagnosis) as she has the expertise and skills to develop the individual. For
me, she has been able to realistically give hope and encouragement. She completely understands the situation and tailors the programme, exercises etc to suit you. If you have any doubts, don't have - the results speak for themselves. I have no hesitation in recommending her."

"In 2007 my 19 year old son Scott, suffered a massive brain haemorrhage while backpacking in Australia. Scott was in an induced coma for 3 weeks and was not expected to survive. We were told he had catastrophic brain damage and should he wake which we were told was unlikely, he would be disabled. Scott did eventually wake but he didn’t know who we were or even who he was. He was doubly incontinent, unable to speak, eat, drink and completely unable to move any part of his body. We were told by the hospital’s Neuro consultant that this damage was so severe the only option open to Scott was to be placed in residential care.
Luckily for Scott, we obtained funding for 2 years of intensive rehabilitation. As part of his treatment, he received intensive physical rehabilitation from Hannah. Scott was very withdrawn, confused and suffered from chronic fatigue and a complete lack of motivation but with unbelievable patience and perseverance, qualities which Hannah has in abundance, he slowly recovered to a much higher level than was ever imagined. Scott now lives independently in his own flat, with support as he still has no short term memory.
With hard work and endless encouragement from Hannah, Scott has learnt to walk again. He can shower, dress, feed himself and cook meals. Scott does his own housework and shopping. Hannah has played a huge role in Scott’s recovery. Without her dedication and patience Scott would still be in a wheelchair, unable to care for himself. Hannah’s innate kindness and sense of humour had Scott looking forward to Physiotherapy! Scott had been told by so many people he would never walk again but Hannah always made him believe it was possible and never let him give up. Scott now has a full, active but above all, happy life, something we know he would never have without Hannah."
Katrina Harry, Scott’s mother
"I was fortunate enough to work with Hannah for two and a half years after a severe brain injury. Hannah had a massive positive impact in all aspects of my recovery, both physically and mentally. Her hard work, determination and innovation in any situation helped me vastly improve in all areas, but also made me believe in myself and gave me hope when I needed it most. Hannah has a friendly professional approach and was great fun to work with at a time when I was feeling very low."
Emily Darbyshire
"I was partially paralysed by a stroke following a brain operation. I was in a wheelchair and needed help to care for myself and for my baby. My challenge was to learn to walk before my lively six month old beat me to it! Hannah was instrumental in helping me achieve the goals we had set together. It was very frustrating and demoralizing trying to adapt to my limitations, especially with my young son. Hannah helped me to stay determined, motivated and focused. The physio’ sessions were hard work, but enjoyable and I was seeing results and improvements in my mobility. I was never allowed to give up or be beaten. I was able to walk before my son!"
Angela Stewart
"Hannah is an excellent Physiotherapist. I suffered an aquired brain injury in 2010. When I first started Physiotherapy with her I was in a wheelchair and with Hannah's help I am now walking".
