Hogan & Mitchell Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Hogan and Mitchell. Ross’s straightforward assessment and advice was great. In addition to treating the pain in my foot, Ross has helped me with chronic pain in my knees. It’s been almost 3 months of following the plan and the pain in my knees has nearly resolved. Can’t thanks Ross enough.

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my daughter, reassuring and accommodating of her needs. Gave helpful targeted exercises and put our minds at rest so she can enjoy her running again.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly recommend Hogan and Mitchell. I had a snapped ankle ligament last year that stopped me running properly and caused awful balance off-road - Ross gave me a number of exercises and explained these very clearly - my coordination is bad but he was very encouraging with the small improvements I made which really helped me - little bg littke my ankle got stronger and he gave me progressive exercises. I was delighted to be able to run again with decent balance:). I was sad to have to go back this week with a new injury but once again Ross was very clear at explaining what it could be and directing me to an X ray to confirm. I highly recommend Hogan and Mitchell - Ross and Simon are extremely knowledgeable with sports injuries and I’m very grateful to have had their support - much appreciated :)

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Simon - I had a consultation which was incredibly useful, he took the time to listen and gave me some great next steps. He also followed up 3 and 6 months afterwards to check in, which kept me on track with the exercises he gave. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Simply fantastic Excellent outcome from the physiotheraphy, far exceeded my expecations. Simon is a master of his craft, thorough, methodical, professional. On top of that he made the journey pleasurable and helped me fully understand how we were going to mend me. I can now climb E3 (thats pretty hard) and when I started I couldn't raise my arm fully above my head. I can highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Saw Simon through Bupa with my problematic neck. He identified the issue, helped ease the pain and advised me on exercises to stop it from returning. All in all a very professional service and would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent professional service from start to finish. Ross provided no nonsense advice and diagnosis. When imaging and a specialist consultant was required he referred me to one of the best in the country. After surgery Ross helped me get back out and running again. It wasn't all physical, Ross also helped on the mental side too, even providing some useful relationship coaching to ensure my recovery was successful in balance with family commitments. Will genuinely miss my appointments now I'm better!

Fantastic experience: Saw Ross for a sports Achilles injury. He is very knowledgeable and gave very helpful advice for rehab. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Really Helpful and practical advice. Sorted my knee pain in a short time, but also changed a mindset that helped massively. Back cycling properly again. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I have had two problems with my back int he last five years. On both occasions I had limited movement in my back. On this latest occasion. I could not lie down without being in pain and by the end of the day after standing and sitting all day i was in a lot of pain and discomfort, as well.. Within four weeks Simon had my back working and all my movement has returned and i now have no problem sleeping or any pain or discomfort at the end of the day. I would recommend him and I would not hesitate to see him, if any other issues arise. Thank you Simon.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Ross with a lot of seemingly random joint pain following the birth of my son. He was incredibly thorough in the initial appointment and went into loads of detail explaining why things were hurting in the way they were as well as explaining what the exercises he was giving me would do to help. The exercises are helping massively and the fact I have a much greater understanding of why the injuries were there in the first place as well as how to heal them is great. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Following a knee fracture during the height of the COVID-19 I felt I needed some extra support in managing my rehabilitation. Simon Hogan was highly recommended by a family member and I am very grateful I took their advice! Simon spent time listening and then helped me understand how to move forward both with exercise and confidence. I think I needed both in equal measures! I know my progress is down to the professional help and motivation received at Hogan and Mitchell, thank you.

Fantastic experience: I found Simon to be highly professional and knowlegeable. He was helpful in both solving my intial problem and setting new goals to improve strength and function.

Fantastic experience: Simon helped my daughter go from pain in her knees unable to join in PE classes to no pain through giving her confidence and strength exercises. Changed her world. thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic in all regards. I saw Ross with patellar tendonitis. I’d hurt it several times through snowboarding and self-defence classes, and as a result had sharp pain and no confidence in the joint. Couldn’t negotiate stairs properly or even carry my kids to bed. Ross explained the issue and how to think about it differently. He created a gym routine for me that I swear lasted no longer than 30 mins and the results have bomb-proofed my knees. It used to feel as though my knees were jarring when I tried to do any sort of exercise. A few months later I’m now running 5-10K with ease.

Fantastic experience: I came along to see Ross @ Hogan & Mitchell as a runner with a problem of worsening 'plantar fasciitis'. From arriving I could sense that my experience was going to be 'different' - Ross and I spent a lot of time talking about why I was having the problem and what I needed to do (change) to help improve the situation. As a runner the last thing I wanted was to stop running and Ross helped me to continue training whilst undertaking a program of strength and resistance work at the gym. Ross promised no 'quick fix' but after several weeks the results are there - I now understand more about the issue and feel empowered to resolve it myself. This was definitely a different experience but one I strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Ross and his team were excellent cant fault the professionalism and dedication to there job. Never had to have physio before, but made it actually enjoyable getting me straight back to fighting fitness again. Also my mind set is for the better. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Went to see Simon with a knee problem. He was able to quickly and accurately identify the root cause of the problem and the exercises he gave me have a made a huge difference. Really nice guy to boot! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, thorough and knowledgable. Solved my back problem in a couple of visits.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Ross explained TMJ disorder to me, and the way out of it, better than any dentist I've seen, including a consultant!

Fantastic experience: Simon really helped me with some sharp knee pain I was having through running - all through lack of stability and strength from my hips to my knees (contrary to just having ‘short’ quads which was what I had previously been told). The exercises I was given really helped.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Simon how checked my foot over and gave me some great advice which my doctor didn't. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: I originally went to Hogan & Mitchell as my right shoulder was stiffening up and I was in pain. I had an initial 1hour consultation with Ross Mitchell to ascertain whether I had a frozen shoulder as I felt I had all the symptoms of such as I’d had a frozen left shoulder some years ago. Ross was very welcoming and reassuring that he was there to help and after an examination of my range of movement determined a course of action to confirm whether it was a frozen shoulder or not (which after a number of sessions it was). What I was most impressed with was that Ross genuinely cared about my overall health and well-being. He felt he could give me some advice in another area I needed to address namely my weight. He showed a genuine interest in me, my past lifestyle, what I tried before and what had worked and what hadn’t. He definately motivated me to address my weight and introduced me to not a faddy diet but a change of lifestle regime built around the Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) principles. That initial consultation went on for over 2 hours because it needed to and by the end I felt fully enlightened. Over the next 3 sessions whilst monitoring the progress of my frozen shoulder we used the time to discuss the health regime. Ross has provided me a lot of information, links, recipes and closed off with good reasons all the ‘excuses’ I was using not to address my weight. I’m delighted to say that I started 11 days ago and I’ve already lost 18lbs which I no longer have to carry around! Ross I’d like to thank you for genuinely caring and going beyond the bounds of my shoulder which brought me too you. It may be your character and skill set but I assure you in today’s society it is a rare trait to talk to a complete stranger, gain their confidence so quickly and guide them onto a new path you knew would work. Your continued support is very much appreciated, thanks!

Fantastic experience: I have recently completed a 10 week strength and conditioning programme with Simon, after a long period of suffering aches, pains, niggles and general lethargy. I highly recommend Simon Hogan to any runners out there who have struggled with injury or want to push themselves to the next level. Simon listened to the struggles I had been experiencing in my running and explained the best course of action to get me back to where I wanted to be. The programme was tailored to my needs and has been extremely effective. I feel much stronger and more confident to push myself harder during running. Thank you Simon - I'm sure that new PBs will follow shortly! Phil.

Fantastic experience: I have suffered from neck and shoulder pain for many years and always found even simple gardening jobs almost impossible due to the resulting pain, stiffness and discomfort. However, since starting Simon's Pilates class I am virtually pain free. This was highlighted to me recently when I dug out heavy clay soil and laid patio bricks without any repercussions, something which would not have happened a year ago. Thanks to Pilates ( & Simon) I can now carry on doing jobs which had become impossible.

Fantastic experience: Was in lower back pain when went to Hogan & Mitchell but within a few days of advised routines, became easier and within 2 weeks was normal. Detailed understanding and explanations of the problem and treatment enabled rapid recovery and return to active, pain free activities. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I played competitive sports in my 20’s and have been treated by various Physios during this time. I can confidently say Hogan and Mitchell are a very good practice. Over the last 3 years I have been treated by Simon on several occassions, as well as attend his group pilate classes, and he is very good at what he does. Their online booking system makes it very easy to arrange an appointment.

Fantastic experience: Very good Practice, friendly but also professional. I followed up a consultation and joined a Pilates class. If you have any issues relating to sore backs and stiffness this is the practice to use. I have tried others in Macclesfield and have not had the same help that I have had from Simon and Ross.

Fantastic experience: A great healing experience. Ross helped identify what was happening and it was all plain sailing after that. Thanks Ross for helping me towards getting back on track.

Fantastic experience: I've visited Simon at Hogan & Mitchell twice now and have been very impressed. I had a consultation that lasted an hour where he analysed the way I moved, my injury etc and I felt a thorough diagnosis was made with good advice on what to do to speed my recovery. My recovery has worked really well and according to the timescales he predicted. He also did not do, what I hate about other physios, which is treating two people at once and just sticking you on an ultrasound machine whilst they visit the other person. He also didn't try and convince me I needed a course of treatment at £40 a go which I've had with other physios as he said that I should be fine if I followed the prescribed exercises but to come back if I needed it. Simon also followed up with a phone call to check how I was doing which was much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Excellent advice for reducing my back pain

Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge and everything was well explained. Comfortable atmosphere and very professional. Hogan and Mitchell physio helped me with a back problem I'd had for years, about a month after seeing them for only 1 session I don't have any pain, their diagnostic and instructions have been well worth the money. Big thanks.

Fantastic experience: Not one to normally reveiw a physio on the web but I thought it important to support small local businesses especially when they did such a good job. I saw Ross after nearly a year of suffering with an hamstring issue. I was refferred to him by a specialist consultant. I had seen other physios prior to this and it startled me at first how different Ross's treatment approach was. He really focussed on getting strength back into my leg rather then massage and ultrasound therapy. The difference here was that Ross really took his time to explain what was going on, listened to my history and then gave a comprehensive recovery plan. Within 2 weeks I saw a significant improvement in my leg pain and with 12 weeks I was back running. It is clear he knows his stuff, especially around sports injuries. Furthermore he only saw me as required, not every week for the sake of it.

Fantastic experience: I wish I'd been to H&M earlier! I've wasted years (literally) seeing a raft of other 'specialists' with originally a foot injury that then graduated into a knee injury... Simon's diagnosis was just brilliant (so thorough and logical) and the exercises he gave me were manageable so that I could actually complete them! I'm back running again and so I can't recommend highly enough! :)

Fantastic experience: I have had three appoinments with Simon Hogan for shin splints. Two months later, the pain is gone and I'm running better than ever. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Stacey is an amazing Pilates instructor. She always has a smile on her face, is professional yet friendly and makes you feel welcome from the start. She has helped me immeasurably with my neck and back issues. She is very knowledgeable and fantastic at adapting all the exercises according to my needs. She introduced me to a technique requiring a resistance band behind my head to complete ab crunches and it was genius as I had never been able to do them in the past due to a whiplash accident. Thanks to her guidance and expertise she gave me the foundation I needed to motivate myself and have the confidence to join Crossfit Silk to loose weight and get even stronger. I am a much happier and pain free person nowadays and Stacey helped to make it happen. Thank you Stacey, you are a super star. Xxx

Fantastic experience: I started attending pilates at Hogan and Mitchell around 5 months ago. I started the classes as I have struggled with lower back and hip pain for many years now, and needed a solution to ease the pain without having to resort to surgery on my hip. Since starting the class my pain has eased (in both my hip and back) so much that I don't even think about it any more, and I haven't had to visit my sports therapist for treatment in months. My muscles feel like they are constantly improving, both by building my core strength as well as stretching my 'over worked muscles'. The class I attend is taught by Vicky; it is fun, varied and I come home every week feeling fitter and reinvigorated. Vicky is exceptionally good at giving each individual attention when needed to correct posture and to help us improve each week. I continue to attend the class with enthusiasm; it isn't a chore (as I thought pilates would be), it is something I really look forward to each week!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for one of the Pilates courses at Hogan & Mitchell Physiotherapy last month, in an attempt to help build strength in my lower back from an old injury. They were recommended by a friend who had a similar problem. I've only been going for a month but I can already feel a positive difference. The classes run by Stacey are great - she provides an excellent balance of both group and individual attention, and is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and proficient at what she does (good fun too). I've never done Pilates before so I was a little concerned about how I'd manage it, but I come away each week with a great feeling of accomplishment and elation. Stacey - you're a star - thank you.

Fantastic experience: This place was a true blessing on Christmas Eve. Yesterday my dad went go karting and hurt his back, over night it seriously deteriorated to a point where he could hardly walk. This morning (Xmas eve) everywhere was closed including Hogan and Mitchel. However, after speaking with Simon (at the physio therapy center) he came from his home and saw my dad at the last minute. Leaving his family the day before Christmas to do so. This center is not just a physio therapy center but clearly a place that cares as well! Thank you to Simon and his family for taking the time to look after my dad. It means a lot a this time of year.

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Simon re a rehabilitation programme for a ruptured achilles tendon. I have followed the exercises and stretch routine every day and I cant thank him enough for improving my quality of life in just 5 days. Thanks again Paul Caine

Fantastic experience: Great service, follow up was even offered by email for no extra charge

Fantastic experience: Saw Simon for a torn calf muscle (running injury). He explained the problem and solution clearly and thoroughly and gave me exercises to do to help recovery and, more importantly, hopefully ensure that it doesn't happen again. I was very impressed with his knowledge - he clearly keeps up with the research in the field. He's also very pleasant to get on with and great to chat with about sport generally.

Fantastic experience: Saw Simon recently for shoulder pain. He diagnosed the problem effectively and recommended exercises for me to do and explained which exercises I should not do until it recovered. Having suffered this pain for 3 months, my shoulder started to repair very quickly after adopting these exercises.

Fantastic experience: Great service would highly recommend money well spent. Simon explained things thoroughly even helped explain how to improve my training programme and form on certain exercises to help reduce future problems. Would be more than happy to use Simon again over any other health service if any problems occur in the future

Fantastic experience: Saw Ross following a calf injury while training for my first 10k. He was a revelation not just in diagnosing and rehabilitation, but also with regards to rebuilding my confidence in my own body. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Saw Simon recently about long standing sporting and skiing induced issues. Over the years when I used to be a competitive runner I’ve seen a number of physiotherapists. Simon clearly knows his stuff, was knowledgeable and attentive. The therapy is working, what was nice is that he stayed in-touch after the treatment to ensure things kept improving.

Fantastic experience: I delayed writing this review so that it would both coincide with the time people are likely to end up with the same injury and so that they could read the end results. I had a skiing accident in Obergurgl Austria last Easter, the medical report said ruptured ACL, partial rupture of MCL and a segond fracture, they recommended immediate surgery, insurance company said it could wait until I got back to the UK!. It was a week before I got back to the UK and though I managed to see my doctor the day after I got back the referral to a specialist was going to take up to 4 weeks. I knew that if I stayed off my leg for that length of time the muscle wastage would be huge so looked for a physiotherapist that I could get to on the bus and ended up here. Thanks to Ross I managed to keep the muscle wastage to a minimum, lost the crutches in a very short time and between Ross's physio and a trainer at the gym (to make sure I didn't do anything stupid) I managed to avoid having surgery on my knee. Four months later I started dingy sailing again, two months after that I booked a skiing holiday for this Easter! Its now eight months since my accident and my knees are stronger than ever. If I end up needing physio again then Hogan and Mitchell will be my first call.

Fantastic experience: Having played Ice Hockey at a high level including International (GB), I was introduced to Hogan and Mitchell by the Athletes Performance Academy about 2 years ago. I undertook an Injury Prevention screening and Simon and Ross assessed the stresses and strains imposed on my body by my particular sport. I was given relevant exercises and along with an excellent Pilates programme to increase flexibility and core strength. I am convinced this has increased my resistance in an extremely physical and contact sport. Having played in Canada at the highest standard for my age whilst at a hockey academy for the last year I have continued to have regular reviews when I come home. Any potential problems have been highlighted and corrected with exercise and Pilates .

Fantastic experience: Whilst training for my first Ironman, I started to suffer from serious knee pain which was stopping me from running. I booked a consultation with Simon and a tight Iliotibial Band, exacerbated by an imbalance in my running style, was soon identified as the cause of the pain. After a sports massage, I was given a range of strengthening exercises and stretches which focussed on relieving the symptoms and preventing the problem becoming a long term issue. After following Simon's advice I have been able to run pain free, and I would recommend Hogan & Mitchell without reservation.

Fantastic experience: When I met Ross in 2014 I was in a bad way, I was feeling very down, I had started on the NHS Pain Management programme and really believed there were things I would never do without significant pain, there were a few I thought I would never be able to do again (such as going to Glastonbury). After my 1st session I was inspired and started to rethink everything I thought I knew about my pain. After 5 months I was at my first music festival in years and after 9 months I was back in high heels!! It sounds over the top but going to see Ross changed my life, it changed my family's life as well, I now hardly ever say "I can't do that". I went for my 1st run last week and have just enrolled at a group personal training gym - I cannot recommend these guys enough!! If you are in pain, especially if it's chronic pain, give them a call!

Fantastic experience: I visited the practice in October this year based upon my friend's recommendation who told me about the great experience he had with Simon. He said that he had seen at least 9 pyhsiotherapists all around the country and abroad and he found Simon to be BY FAR the best! Following a very thorough assessment and a good 30 min. of therapy I immediately felt an ease with my pain. Simon has also provided me with easy to follow home exercises and advise on the right sleeping position and body posture explaining the importance of these to eliminate future tension in my neck and headaches. I find Simon very friendly and highly professional. His knowledge and proven methods are second to none, visiting his practice is a guarantee for getting better soon! I recommend him to anyone who is struggling with pain, they will be in the best hands!

Positive experience: After causing myself a traumatic sprain to my lower back, a few visits got me moving comfortably again, and confident that I know how not to cause the injury again, why it hurt so much(!) and who to go to if I do something equally silly in the future. All advice was well tailored to my needs, and led to a quick recovery.

Fantastic experience: After suffering with prolonged Knee pain for over a year that prevented me from running and even walking with discomfort, I was referred to Hogan & Mitchell. From my very first appointment with them, and a pin point diagnosis, I began a targeted recovery program. I could quickly feel the benefits working and was given the hope that I could run again pain free. Now after Five assessment visits my knee feels stronger than ever, and with no pain. I have started running again and enjoying my sport and quality of life again, something I thought I had lost for good some months ago! You only ever get out what you put in yourself with Physio, but it all comes from the accuracy and guidance of your Physiotherapist! I would 100% recommend Hogan & Mitchell, and have indeed recommended friends who now receive treatment. A massive thank you to Simon for giving me the hope to run again. Nick Munday (Helly Hansen Sport Manager)

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Hogan & Mitchell to anyone across my network who require an expert opinion on any musculoskeletel problem. Ross's approach is extremely thorough, and his questioning and information gathering, coupled with knowledge and experience, delivers exceptional results. Action plans to manage and treat the injury are precise and clear, and, most crucially, highly effective. People often persevere with a problem like back pain, as I did, and maybe seek advice from the usual first points of reference such as their GP; my advice would be forget that and call Hogan & Mitchell now.

Positive experience: I was very satisfied with the customer service and the treatment that was provided by Hogan & Mitchell. I am very happy to recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Hogan and Mitchell as I was suffering from a bad shoulder on and off for some time. I am so pleased I was… after one visit my shoulder had been fixed  Simon was extreamly professional and thorough, pinpointing exctually what was wrong with it. After my appointment I received back up customer care, a detailed email stating exercises I should be performing each day and important information on how I should be sitting at my desk at work. Since my appointment, tweaking a few things on my desk plus carrying out the exercises my shoulder has been brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Hogan and Mitchell enough. After visiting 5 different physio's with an injured shoulder from a mountain biking accident, I was not happy with the 5 different verdicts. I decided to visit Ross from Hogan and Mitchell. This was the best decision I made. Ross instantly made me feel confident in what he was saying, he conducted a thorough examination and really got to the problem. He explained what the problem was and showed me through illustrations and models. He showed me a number of exercise and told me what I can and cannot do to speed up recovery. I will definitely be visiting Hogan and Mitchell again if injury myself again, even though it is an hours drive from my house, it is worth it.

Fantastic experience: A chance meeting as the door opened whilst I was walking past. Had a very sore neck which was previously miss diagnosed and not resolved by a different physio. Simon investigated, explained the problem giving me small exercises, changes to my posture and use of my neck. Four visits on the pain had subsided and normality had returned. Simon explained things really well and gave practical examples of both exercises and changes required to my posture. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: After hurting my knee whilst completing a half marathon my GP recommended physio, Hogan and Mitchell were recommended to me by a friend who had used them previously. Simon was very professional and talked me through what he felt was wrong with my knee and how each exercise he would give me to do would help get me back running which thankfully they are.

Fantastic experience: 3 weeks before my first marathon attempt I got an injury which was causing me considerable discomfort. I had no idea what it was and was worried that it might lead to permanent damage. I contacted Simon who not only fixed the problem but gave me great advice regarding my tactics for the race. His being a sportsman himself really helped me as I knew he'd understand what I needed to do to get through the marathon in one piece. Jo Passingham

Fantastic experience: I couldn't rate Hogan and Mitchell highly enough. From the first consultation they were excellent. As an athlete it is absolutely key that I get any injuries dealt with asap. In a short period of time I have not only recovered from the foot/ knee issue I had but, thanks to the strength and flexibility programme I was given I have improved flexibility and strength in my legs. I would definitely use Hogan and Mitchell again without any hesitation and would recommend them whole heartedly.

Fantastic experience: Being a keen runner, a troublesome knee was causing me significant pain and frequent disruption in both sport and daily life. Upon My GP’s referral I saw a physiotherapist who could not diagnose the problem. I was then referred to a very senior knee Specialist who performed an Arthroscopy, but soon after the operation the same symptoms came back at which point the Specialist advised he could do no more as the knee appeared fine internally. Frustrated at the lack of prognosis, and following two further physiotherapist opinions delivering no positive outcome, I was introduced to Simon Hogan. Simon had a much more modern and fresh approach to the usual ‘ultrasound and exercise’ methods of mainstream Physio’s and in a very short space of time not only did he identify the cause of my pain, but began to alleviate it. Without doubt, Simon’s knowledge, understanding and innovation within his field impacted upon such a result. Within a very short space of time I began training to run the London 2014 marathon (a commitment to charity I had already made) - my ultimate goal and major challenge for my knee. After 530 miles of training (including 8 half marathons) and occasional progressive consultation with both Simon and Ross - I completed the marathon in 4 hours 5 mins! To go from knee breakdown after 2-3 miles running to finishing a first ever marathon without a hint of trouble is testament to them both - Many thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Excellent and focused service everytime I have visited, helping me make a quick recovery and getting back to training and competing.
