Simon was great. Very thorough assessment, detailed explanation and a written exercise plan to follow. Thanks to him I’m currently returning to running with a plan in place to prevent future injuries. Highly recommend.

Could not recommend Simon more! From start to finish he worked with me to provide a personal rehab programme, pre and post shoulder surgery. Thanks to him I’m back to my full time dance profession pain-free!

I was recommended to use Simon Hogan by my consultant following some shoulder treatment. The physio progressed was simple to follow but really effective and I was pretty much fully recovered within just a few weeks. Would definitely recommend Simon to others

I had treatment for achilles pain during running. I found the physio very knowledgeable they and gave easy to understand explanation of the diagnosis and reason for injury. Additionally, the physio was very friendly and all or correspondence was very timely. The treatment plan was very clear, after following the plan for several weeks my injury has improved significantly!

I went to Hogan & Mitchell earlier this year for achilles pain. I was in a cycle of working up to about 10km, experiencing achilles pain, stopping completely until the pain went, and then starting again from scratch. I was feeling really frustrated and was about ready to give up. I saw Ross who was amazing. He immediately zeroed in on what the problem was and was able to explain it really clearly. He gave me some exercises to do and I left feeling confident that I could work through it. A few months later, after doing the exercises religiously, I ran the MCR Half Marathon with no pain, and I'm planning to do more! I'm absolutely elated. If you have any niggles or pain I cannot recommend Hogan & Mitchell enough. Making that appointment genuinely changed my life.

Great experience,,put me at ease, explained the prob, what I needed to do, demonstrated the exercises I need to do and followed up with an email. Would definitely recommend .

Had a number of issues, including a long standing hamstring issue which was diagnosed really quickly, and the exercises i was given sorted me out. Would recommend

Went in with a running injury - knee was knackered! Simon was really helpful all the way through from his first look to the final session - the exercises he showed me were great, everythign was explained really clearly and I'd absolutely recommend, certainly for dodgy runner's knee injuries!

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

I went on a recommendation and was glad I did. I felt the service was personalized - not just stock exercises. I followed my plan and have seen a massive improvement. I would not hesitate to return.

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 baldness with family commitments. Will genuinely miss my appointments now I'm better!

My 11 year old injured his shoulder whilst playing Rugby which resulted in him being out of the sport for 3 months allowing him time to repair. When no real repair came, we saw Simon Hogan. He very quickly determined the problem and ascertained which strengthening exercises would suit my son, bearing in mind his young age. The progress in terms of movement range and strength gain has been phenomenal in only a few weeks and my son is well on his way back to the Rugby field very soon. Simon is incredibly knowledgeable and very caring in his approach.

Found Hogan & Mitchell from the internet, glad I did!!I saw Ross who was excellent. Friendly, professional, very informative, and most importantly sorted out my back. Ross also gave me lots of background information in order for me to understand my back troubles. I would have no hesitation in seeking further help from Ross if I needed. Thank you Ross.

Having sorted my back in the past, and more recently a troublesome toe, Simon has now provided me with exercises which are keeping night cramps at bay. His warm, genial personality complements his splendid technical skills. Thank you again, Simon.

Fantastic help from Ross.Not just physiotherapy more holistic discussions of reality of life, the impact on health and the positive actions needed to take back control.Very grateful to Ross helping me on my journey back to healthy lifestyle 🙏

I'd like to thank Hogan and Mitchell for giving me some exercises that I do 3 times a week to help ease my back pain. Had been suffering for a good month, and despite taking pain killers, wasn't getting any better. Been doing some strength exercises too for my left knee, and all in all would totally recommend the fantastic service that the guys provide. 100% effective, thank you.

I just wanted to say a very big thanks for sorting out my ‘coccydynia’ that turned out to be nothing of the sort. After a year of my not being able sit for any length of time, you had the problem nailed in the first visit and I was almost back to normal within 3 weeks.

I would not hesitate to recommend Hogan and Mitchell. My first appointment was several years ago after having previously been given some poor professional advice concerning my ankles. Simon was brilliant - he immediately understood the problem and gave me appropriate strengthening exercises. He has subsequently helped me with other back issues. In summary, a caring, empathetic professional with unquestionable expert knowledge.

Have visited for both shoulder and neck injuries. Each time I was given different strategies to help. If an exercise was too difficult or too painful, Simon would come up with different ideas to help. Saw big improvements in just a few sessions. Highly recommend.

I fell v heavily,completely flat on my back onto the hard surface of my kitchen floor.This happened at the end of April and became stiff and painful.From 11/05/20 I had 11 session with a local physio,at a cost of over £400 .Disallusioned with the lack of progress that I was making I went to see Simon Hogan 05/08/20. After an hours consultation he advised me to arrange an X-ray via my GP.The X-ray confirmed Simons diagnosis of a compression fracture of a vertebra in my spine,as a result of my fall in April !It transpired that during the 11 sessions with the previous physio,who practices at Prestbury,not only had he not diagnosed the fracture,but had been incorrectly treating my back with manipulation and the use of a laser machine!!I have continued to see Simon. I thoroughly recommend him as a v knowledgeable, thorough,professional physiotherapist,who gives clear explanations and appropriate treatment

Having been in good health throughout my life I began to experience knee pains whilst exercising. I initially visited a physio practise in Macclesfield who were ‘very matter of fact’ about my knee and recommended rest for several weeks. Further appointments were cancelled at short notice by them. Lockdown then kicked in and the practise closed. As restrictions began to ease I was recommended Hogan and Mitchell physiotherapy via Axa PPP healthcare. I had my initial consultation with Simon via Zoom (due to social distancing). He very quickly diagnosed the issue and set me on a programme of exercises to strengthen and condition my knee. He understood how important it was for me to get moving again, if nothing else just to get out of the house. This built up over several weeks and within a short time I was running again and am now back upto weekly 10 k runs. I had a couple of sessions at the practice just to ensure that I was under taking the exercises correctly (and to ensure I wasn’t slacking off!). I cannot recommend Simon highly enough I am back to full fitness which is helping me get through lockdown and the ‘new normal’.

I have been attending Simon's Pilates online since lockdown and previously at the studio. Having osteo-arthritis in my knees and spinal stenosis I found great difficulty doing certain movements at the beginning but with Simon's help and patience I have found the classes very rewarding. Anyone who may be suffering with different types of pain I recommend them to give Pilates a go. I now do Pilates online twice a week and really notice the difference if I am unable to attend. Go for it and thanks to Simon for all your input. Janet

I first met Simon Hogan 6/7 years ago with his “Physio”hat on, he sorted me out very quickly with my neck problems, when you have local GP’s singing his praises he must be good! I then joined his Wednesday Pilates class at the beginning, found this very beneficial. Since lockdown I now do both Wednesday and Friday classes via zoom. Everything is explained clearly, an hour flies by. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon and his Pilates classes to anyone.Angie

After experiencing months of pain in my left hip I had come to the conclusion that I would eventually need a hip replacement in the future. I was taking medication for the pain and was unable to get a decent nights sleep. I contacted Hogan and Mitchell after they were recommended to me and spoke to Simon who reassured me that I did not need a hip replacement.Simon gave me exercises to do to strengthen the weaker muscles and also pointed out to me any bad habits to be corrected. After only weeks I could see a great improvement, no more tablets or gels for me anymore, great nights sleep and I now walk 5 miles most days as my new exercise regime without experiencing any pain. As a result of my positive experience with Hogan and Mitchell I decided to do Simons online Pilates classes in lockdown. My usually Pilates class which I attended twice weekly at my gym were now on hold. What a difference, Simons delivery is brilliant he explains everything so well.My balance has definitely improved And I am seeing improvements in my overall muscle strength. I would highly recommend Hogan and Michell and Simons Pilates classes ( I think I will be giving my gym membership up) they are professional, very knowledgable, friendly and approachable. They love what they do and it shows.

I have been attending Simon's online Pilates classes since the beginning of lockdown. I can genuinely say they have saved me. Some days knowing I had a class first thing got me out of bed and motivated. I am now stronger than before and raring to go. Simon's manner is cheerful and encouraging. You even get free film reviews!Val Lear

I have been doing Simon's online Pilates class since Lockdown. I have found the classes very enjoyable, light hearted but with detailed and clear instructions to enable you to get the most out of each exercise. I can definitely feel the benefit of the classs in terms of strength and balance. Brilliant!

Have been attending Simon's online Pilates class for the past few weeks and am already feeling the benefit. The class is excellent - clear delivery (with a good sprinkling of humour) and Simon's demonstration and participation in the class is inspiring. Would highly recommend.

I've been to quite a few physios in my time and, at some point in the consultation, they all seem to attach a machine to you and then duck out for 10 minutes or so. That's not what I got with Simon Hogan. The whole time was spent with me diagnosing the problem, explaining what that meant and what I needed to do to fix it. We then went over strategies on how I could achieve my goals. All the sessions were 100% focused on me, my progress and next steps. I highly recommend Simon Hogan.

Very good physio practice. Ross quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear and straightforward advice on a course of action for improvement and eventual elimination.

Following a car accident I was recommended to use the services of Simon at Hogan &Mitchell. Having spent the last 2 years before the accident visiting various physio therapists for what I was told was numerous injuries that I would need to mange for the long term, I went to see Simon with the same thoughts as all the others I had visited, this will be expensive and a load of rubbish, more heat lamps and sonic pulse machines that seem to do nothing but cost a lot.How wrong I was. Having completed the initial assessment, Simon told that all the aches and pains I had were curable and said that it should take no more than 3 sessions.He was right! Having put my mind at ease and fully explained to me what was causing the problems i was put on a series of exercise programmes that strengthened those damaged areas and returned me to a tablet free life. I now play golf without the use of knee straps, pain killers or anti inflammatory tablets.The simple fact here is that through good advice and sticking to the recovery programme my life as been significantly improved without the use of lamps and other devices that did nothing for me for over 2 years.I would recommended, and have recommended to anybody who has an injury that they give Hogan & Mitchell the chance to see if they can fix the problem.If they can’t fix it then you do have a problem.

I was recommended to Simon Hogan at Hogan & Mitchell as my last resort by a friend of mine after seeing so many people and basically flushing money down the drain.For years I have struggled with a bad back, that bad at times I couldn’t even walk or dress myself. I followed what professionals told me to do and nothing worked. UNTIL now.Simon Hogan (Hogan & Mitchell) was amazing. He realised very quickly that I was getting down about it all and he really listened and understood me.Once my back improved he taught me to manage my condition and I followed exercises and stretches he put in place. It was only then he put together a gym programme for me which I did for a couple of months to strengthen my core.Today I completed my first Spinning Class in 5 years. I was quite emotional as it was a class I used to love, and I finally was able to join in again. I suppose you will only understand this if you have been there yourself?I remember the day he said he didn’t need to see me again. Yes, he isn’t a money grabbing business man like some and I remember feeling rather scared as to me he was my guardian angel 😊Should you need a great physio look no further as I highly recommend him.

I saw Simon at Hogan & Mitchell after suffering severe pelvic pain for well over a year. I had had numerous tests in hospital all of which were necessary but which proved negative and also some medication which again did not help. I finally went to see Simon who explained what he thought was going on and gave me various exercises to do. After about a couple of months of doing the exercises things started to improve and having continued with them over the past 6 months or so my pain has virtually disappeared. I highly recommend Hogan & Mitchell.

I've been extremely pleased with the treatment I received for an knee tendon injury.What I valued most was being given such clear information about my injury and how best to manage my recovery, which has progressed really well.The recovery process took into account the things I enjoy about being active and was easy to fit in around a busy life.

I had an assessment with Ross which was so thorough and professional that it put to shame the appointment I had previously attended with a supposedly top consultant (the one thing the consultant did right was to advise me to see a sports physiotherapist). Ross explained everything in detail so I really understood what my problem was and what I needed to do to rectify it. I had suffered 6 months of Achilles pain, but just 2 months after practising the exercises Ross gave me I have finished a 76 mile walk and there was almost no pain. It was fantastic. I am sure another month of doing the exercises will result in no pain at all. I would most definitely recommend the practice.

I have had valuable help for two episodes of pain and lack of movement in two areas. Each time, Simon listened carefully, took me seriously and explained his treatment plan. The exercises he advised were followed up by a prompt email with diagrams and a summary of his opinion. The exercises eased my pain and improved my quality of life. I would recommend the service which is a healthier option than taking painkillers and being wary of movement,

Very happy with the service from Ross. He listened to me and explained what I needed to do thoroughly! His expert knowledge got me through 3 injuries this year and as a result I managed to complete Ironman Wales!

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. I would say that before my injury I had a reasonable level of fitness, being able to jog/run for about 3K, but uncomfortably. A few months later I’m now running 5-10K with still more in the tank, and it feels like I’m on air suspension!

In December 2018 I stared to have a recurring lower back problem - nerve pain and hypersensitivity down both legs, I was on 3 types of pain relief but it was not making any difference. Another physio reinforced what I shouldn’t do so I was stopping some of the things I loved, After 5 months of pain and not being able to wear certain clothing due to the sensitivity I saw Simon. His set me at ease quickly and spent over half of our first session finding out and understanding what was going on. Acknowledging the pain was real, he also helped me underreinforcement of pain can have a huge impact on recovery. He helped me change my understanding of what was happening, stop the reinforced messages which were not helping and give me back the confidence to do the things I love, cycling, sailing, gardening and more. I am off all pain relief, make sure I don’t sit for long periods, but most of all I learnt how to relax with Simons help. I know some things need other interventions, having had back surgery myself in the past but, the important thing is to speak to someone who will consider with you all possible reasons for your pain and the right way to proceed. I would definitely recommend Simon to others.
