MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Meet Lewis Hanson.
An exercise and fitness background. An individual approach to every treatment.
I run LH Performance & Recovery alongside my full-time role as a Health & Fitness Assistant within NHS mental health services. My background spans physical activity, personal training, exercise referral and sports massage.
I believe you should understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and what treatment can realistically achieve. That means clear explanations, adaptable treatment and practical aftercare.
My approach is professional, evidence-informed and centred on you.
We discuss your goals, training, work, relevant medical and injury history, and any concerns.
02
We assess.
Where appropriate, relevant movement, range-of-motion assessment and palpation help guide treatment.
03
We tailor.
Sports massage and soft-tissue techniques adapted to you, with pressure adjusted throughout and your consent at every stage.
04
You leave informed.
We talk through relevant aftercare, movement or stretching, and future treatment where appropriate.
