Hannah Fletcher

PHYSIOTHERAPIST & PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Physiotherapist MSc, HCPC, MCSP & Clinical Pilates APPI

Hi, I’m Hannah, a Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates Instructor, and specialist in musculoskeletal and pre/post-natal rehabilitation. I’m also trained with an MSc in Pain Management, which means I take a holistic approach to treating pain, helping you move better and feel stronger.

As a busy mum and someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, I understand the challenges of fitting treatment into everyday life. My goal is to provide practical, effective rehabilitation that works for you, whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pregnancy-related discomfort, or improving your overall strength and mobility.

I aim to make your experience as positive as possible, providing care that’s tailored to your needs with a focus on getting you back to doing what you enjoy.

RECEPTIONIST & ADMINISTRATION

My name is Charlotte Hodges I am lucky enough to have been working at Westerhill Physio for the past 5 years in the roll of reception/administrator I enjoy interacting with all patients and make them feel welcome, comfortable and ensure that their visit to the clinic is a pleasurable one. In my spare time I look after my husband, our house and our 4 chickens, my children now having grown up and left home. I love to cook, exercise and generally socialise with friends and family.

Physiotherapist, BSc (hons), MCSP, HCPC

I graduated as a Physiotherapist from King’s College London in 1996 and started my career at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup. I quickly moved to Maidstone Hospital to pursue my interest in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and in 2003 became clinical lead in Women’s Health. In 2001 I qualified as a Body Control Pilates Instructor and I feel this compliments my Physiotherapy interests and skill set. I left the NHS in 2006 and I have worked at Westerhill Physiotherapy on and off over the intervening years. My children and my husband’s work have at times taken priority but I have always enjoyed working as part of Carol’s team at Westerhill. We are a small but enthusiastic workforce and we will always try our best to get you on the road to recovery. We regularly support each other with continued learning and up to date research.

I have a keen interest in sport and regularly participate in triathlons, which I first started in 1989. I am also a level 2 British Triathlon Federation Coach and love coaching at my local triathlon club but also coaching novice triathletes and children at local venues in Kent. My passion is to give confidence to those who doubt their ability to succeed in triathlon.

I very much look forward to seeing you and helping you achieve your goals.
