Hannah qualified at the University of Brighton in 2004 with a first class honours degree in Podiatry. Following this she gained a placement at the New York school of Podiatric Medicine in July 2004 to widen her experience of complex podiatry related problems.
She worked and gained experience in the NHS (Kent PCT) before employment by the Ministry of Defence in 2007 to provide and set up Musculoskeletal Podiatry clinics at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court – a Tri–Service Centre offering a broad range of rehabilitation for both chronic overuse musculoskeletal injuries as well as complex injuries sustained during conflict. She was the clinical lead senior podiatrist and specialised in gait and lower limb biomechanical assessments for military personnel for overuse injuries and the most catastrophic of injuries.

"Amazing physios! I started coming here when they were located in Leeds Met. Now moved out to a new building by the Village gym/hotel. Every physio I have seen has been nothing short of amazing.....very knowledgeable and always seem to fix the problem!"
Chris Allen
"Rose came highly recommended to me from a sports therapist who was also a high level athlete. She clearly cares about getting her patients back to full health ASAP. She kindly reviewed a list of my injuries prior to booking anything with her so she could appropriately advise on who i should see. From my brief conversation with her i could tell she cared and had extensive knowledge about biomechanics and getting to the root cause of the problem."
Drew Norcup
"I was attended to by Louisa who was great . She was very thorough and methodical in getting to the root of my problem and gave me effective treatment. At the end of my treatment I was given a plan to follow. There was no pressure to book a follow up appointment either.
I would definitely recommend to anyone contemplating going. My only regret is that I did not go earlier."
James Ahmad
