Supporting endurance athletes across Southeast Michigan from injury recovery to peak performance

As an endurance athlete, I understand the physical and mental demands of training and racing.

I know how frustrating it is to be told to stop training the moment an injury pops up. My practice offers a different approach: direct, individualized care that addresses the actual root cause of your pain rather than temporary fixes. You get a clear, personalized strategy that respects your training load, builds real durability, and keeps you moving forward toward your race goals.

  • “Hannah also being an athlete actually cares about getting you back to doing what you love.“

    “Having the best PT available when faced with the unfortunate possibility of having an injury is key. Having the best PT who’s compassionate, and also an endurance athlete is absolutely irreplaceable. I highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a running assessment or struggling with an injury especially if it’s related to endurance sports. I recently contacted her about a hip issue that I couldn’t figure out. She was able to fit me in quickly. She was able to assess and give me the necessary next steps to begin healing and things to watch out for. Hannah also being an athlete actually cares about getting you back to doing what you love. Highly recommended!!!”

  • “A strong advocate for helping female athletes thrive”

    “As a physical therapist, I am so happy to have Hannah in Ann Arbor to share or refer clients too when needed. She is such a strong advocate for helping female athletes thrive and can’t wait to see all of the ways our community benefits from having her closer. If you have a young female athlete struggling with BSIs or repeated overuse injuries, Hannah should be your go to.”

  • “Hannah empowers her clients at whatever level they are at to pursue improvement and growth.“

    “Hannah is an easy 5 star recommendation for me! This winter both my 16 year old daughter and I were needing some professional guidance as to how we could deal with some nagging injuries and pain from running. My daughter runs cross country and enjoyed a successful fall season but wanted to work on gait and strength issues she had wrestled with before track pre-season began. Hannah did a great job explaining to my daughter so much more about training than just how to get rid of shin splints. Hannah was also empathetic towards my circumstances as a woman with a lot on her plate who can’t dedicate as much time as I would like to training and helped me focus on what was most important to improve. She has also continued to be a resource and work with me through unexpected set backs. Despite being an awesome runner and athlete in her own right, Hannah never makes you feel unimportant if you are an amateur but instead, gives you her full attention and empowers her clients at whatever level they are at to pursue improvement and growth.“

  • “She's committed to not just recovery, but long-term strength and success!“

    “I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough! Her passion for helping others stands out in all she does - from the way she listens, to the care and effort she puts into every session. She's committed to not just recovery, but long-term strength and success!“
