Dr. Hannah Scanlon, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Qualifications: Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Born: Providence, RI
Now lives: North Kingstown, RI
Professional background leading to a career in health and wellness:
I’ve always been passionate about movement. Growing up involved in sports, I experienced firsthand the physical, mental, and social benefits of staying active. That early appreciation for the human body and exercise physiology sparked my interest in the medical field. During my undergraduate years, an internship with the PC Sports Medicine team solidified my desire to work with active individuals in a setting where clinicians could truly connect with patients and help them return to the activities they love.​
​​I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Rhode Island in 2021 and have been part of the NPT HealthWorks team since May of that year. I have experience treating a wide range of orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, pre- and post-operative cases, chronic pain, and develop individualized running and strength training programs.
​
Lately, I’ve developed a strong interest in supporting women through peri- and post-menopause, helping them navigate changes in their health and wellness through education, exercise, and sustainable lifestyle strategies. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help people move better, feel stronger, and live more fully.
​
What reasons you are passionate about helping others:
I’m passionate about guiding individuals through recovery, watching them regain strength, mobility, and confidence. It is rewarding to help someone return to the activities they love, with the people they love, and simply improve their quality of life by overcoming pain or surgery. This drives me to better myself and our profession each day to help people the best we can.
​
What do you enjoy in your free time:
In my free time I enjoy running, weight lifting, skiing, sailing, hiking, baking, reading, and trying new restaurants with friends and family!
