Clinic Principle
As a Royal Marine Commando with 22 years of service, a 3 times National Champion and International athlete and with 9 years as a member of the Great Britain Cross Country Skiing and Biathlon teams, 4 years as the Sports Therapist for the Great Britain team at the World Championships, European Championships, Celtic plate and Commonwealth championships, I have more personal experience of injuries and aches and pains than most!
Having graduated from the University of Oxford, Staffordshire university and the Active Health Group academy in Manchester, I am now a fully affiliated member of Balens and the Sports Therapy Organisation. I recently undertook a masters degree in Osteopathy at Staffordshire University learning new state-of-the-art techniques which will provide you with outstanding and unique treatment.
Hannah Thane B.Ost (Hons)
Sports Therapist and Osteopath
From an early age I have been performing in dance shows in theatres across the country. Having sustained many of the common injuries that are prone to dancers, I now have valuable insight on how these injuries occur and what can be done to treat them. I started my career as a massage therapist in 2013, then I progressed on to Sports therapy, joining the Coles Clinic team in 2015.
I studied at the Active Health Academy in Manchester, acquiring a distinction for Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Clinical Sports Therapy. I later followed this up with a qualification in Manipulative Therapy. I am also qualified in Medical Acupuncture as well as Shockwave Therapy. I am a member of the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO) and am fully insured through Balens Insurance.
In 2021 I gained a first-class honours degree in Osteopathy from College of Osteopaths, Staffordshire University in Stoke-On-Trent. I am a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and the General Osteopathic Council.
Lisa Hawkins Bsc Hons STO
Advanced Sports Therapist
For most of my life I have had some involvement in various sports, especially running and swimming. Having had many injuries & niggles over the years I feel my experiences can help with the treatment and rehabilitation of our clients. However, this does not mean that I treat sports injuries alone! I’m happy to help anyone who has concerns with pain or would like advice on rehabilitation.
I have been with the Cole’s team since November 2020 & love being part of this amazingly talented team. I studied BSc Sports Studies at Staffs University & then later went to Active Health in Manchester to gain a distinction in L5 Advanced Clinical Sports Therapy. I am also qualified in Medical Acupuncture as well as Shockwave Therapy. I am a member of the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO) and am fully insured through Balens Insurance.
I look forward to meeting and welcoming you to Coles and helping with any concerns you may have.
