Thrive Muscle Activation

Welcome to Thrive Muscle Activation! Thrive is all about helping your body feel vibrant, strong, and resilient. Thrive is driven by owner Brian Hannah, MS, MATRx, CSCS, a bodyworker and strength and conditioning coach who has passionately coached people to find their best and strongest selves for over a decade in the SF Bay Area.

Body Work

In our 10,000+ hours of bodywork, we have learned that starting with a detailed assessment is key. We consistently find that working on what your body thinks is the most important problem yields the best results. Thrive starts each new client with a thorough, full-body assessment that lasts ~ 90 minutes.

Strength Training

Together, we’ll explore and identify your flexibility and strength limitations and teach you how to address them on your own. Wake up feeling healthy and powerful. Have an impossible amount of energy. Experience the joy of exercising freedom.

Individual or Group Work

We offer bodywork, strength training, and consultation for individuals or groups. We can see you in person at our San Francisco location, your home, or another outdoor public space. We also offer services to businesses that wish to offer their employees health and exercise options as a benefit of employment.

Client Appreciation

  • Thank you to Brian Hannah, for his MAT skills before and during treatment for aggressive stage 3 breast cancer. Brian's specific MAT expertise has helped me "get through" chemo and radiation, which had taken such a toll on my body. His techniques are so very effective in healing, and building a stronger and healthier body! I look up to Brian as a Guru of sorts. He is so intelligent and his strategies to make the body perform better really is amazing.

  • Brian Hannah is an incredible healer. If you have any kind of chronic issue, I encourage you to see Brian first. I have sought treatment as far as New York, and Canada, so I can say that Brian is elite. Brian knows more about debugging brain-muscle communication than all my previous doctors and healers pooled together. Thanks to him, I am now able to work long hours at a startup.

    Adam J. Body Work Client
  • I love working with him because he gets down to the "why" of injury and helps me understand the changes I need to make. I have exercised all of my life, but have been finding that I was taught to do a lot of basic movements incorrectly for my anatomy (squats, deadlifts). He is extremely educated in his field and is one of the best trainers in the city. I am excited about my progress (feel stronger and over time less pain) and feel fortunate to have found the right partner for the journey.
