Get to Know Dr Glenn D Fredericksen (Chiropractor)
Glenn has enjoyed the benefits of regular chiropractic care since he was 17 for no other reason than to be healthier and stronger. Now he loves to share this healthy approach to life with others. Through a natural Chiropractic lifestyle, Glenn finds that he is able to move more easily and recover more quickly from body fatigue, is more resistant to the common illnesses we find bouncing from person to person and is also more productive with more energy and better concentration.
Glenn trained back home at the prestigious New Zealand College of Chiropractic which is world renowned for its vitalistic approach to Chiropractic and health.

Get to Know Hannah Lancaster (Sports Massage Therapist)
Hello, my name is Hannah and I am a qualified Level 3 Sports Massage therapist with a passion for helping people to continue to do the activities in life that are important to them.
Whether someone is looking for a relaxing massage to ease general muscle soreness from daily life, or if they are looking for something more targeted such as a leg massage to help with tired muscles from a specific sport, I enjoy tailoring the treatment to meet each individual’s needs and preferences.
After suffering from a long-term concussion injury, I have experienced what it is like to no longer be able to participate in the sports and activities that I loved. Whilst studying in Loughborough, I was competing as an elite road cyclist, but due to a crash on a training ride, I was then unable to ride my bike for several months.
After over three years of ongoing medical care, and learning more about how the brain learns to create chronic pain patterns, I am now back to living a life free from chronic pain. This experience has left me with a strong desire and ambition to help other people get back to doing what they love, and helping them towards feeling fit and healthy.
Although I no longer compete at a national level, I am now back riding my bike for fun and my experience has left me with a whole new appreciation for the sport. I love to go for long rides with my dad, now that I am back living with my family in Shropshire, and we always ensure that we stop at a café for coffee and cake! I am also enjoying building my confidence riding off road on my mountain bike as well as having a go at some local time trials this year as I still have a competitive streak in me!
As well as cycling, I also enjoy swimming and running and I hope to build up to being able to complete a longer distance triathlon in the future, having got a background in triathlon from when I was younger. Aside from my love for being active and outdoors, I also enjoy trying out new recipes to cook in the evenings, baking cakes and biscuits and doing creative hobbies such as building Lego and making cards.
I have always had an interest in the brain and how it interacts with the body, and so being a part of the team here provides me with an opportunity to learn more about my areas of interest. I have been incredibly inspired by seeing how the care that Glenn provides helps people to get back to feeling their best. As a result, I am now considering studying to become a chiropractor myself…but for the time being, I love working as a sports massage therapist as it allows me to fulfil my goal of helping people to feel good and able to do the activities that are important to them, and this is what makes me happy!
