Mat is very knowledgeable & helped my mum's bulged disc to recover in just 4 weeks. He did some adjustments in my upper back & the relief I've had ever since is incredible Thanks Mat!

I cannot rate Hawks highly enough. I had an issue with my hip and could hardly walk. After diagnosis the issue was my back. Therapy started immediately, and after returning three more times I was fixed. The exercise worked, the treatment and acupuncture worked and now I am better than ever. I almost felt it was miraculous from the time I arrived. Matthew is a great guy he to all's you through and guides as well as the Physio, I would say the experience is fantastic. If you're injured or need someone to talk to about a situation you need to give them a call. Great job was done and I would ok d go back in a heartbeat. More...

My son and I went to see Matt when my sons shoulder persistently began to hurt at various times during swimming training / regional competitions. Our initial consultation was outstanding. His knowledge and understanding was exceptional. He assessed my sons upper body strength and gave us clear advice and exercises to do at home to strengthen my son’s shoulders and in turn preventing further injury. My son found the stretches easy to follow as Matt sent us clear online videos of each stretch and instruction of the appropriate strength level and repetition of each exercise. We will definitely be using Matt in the foreseeable future with my sons swim journey. Any parent who has children training at a high level of any sport I would definitely recommend Matt! Thanks Matt More...

I've been going to Matt now for just over 3 months, during this time the exercises and advice he's provided me has dramatically improved my quality of life. He takes the time to understand the issue and then discusses the best approach before recommending the next stages, he explains why and how the body reacts in a easy to understand manner. Session are easy to book and flexible, offering time slots in and out of office hours - a godsend when you're out and about between home and work offices. More...

I was struggling with an issue with my knees and decided I should try a Physiotherapy route to see if that would help. I currently go to samien fitness in Stoke and Matt has a clinic within the gym. After getting in contact with him he got me in very fast. I was mega impressed with Matts knowledge of Physiotherapy and how he goes about his work. First he diagnosed my issues and helped me understand firstly why it was there and secondly how to start to fix the issues. The treatment Matt have had a huge effect and reduced the pain and length of pain periods of about 95% percent. I decided to book back in for another session just to see if I can eliminate the remaining 5 percent. I am extremely confident with the help and guidance I’ve been given that my problem will get better however if it does re occur I’ll be booking straight back in and going nowhere else Thanks Matt for your time, effort and outstanding knowledge.

I had been struggling for quite some time with chronic lower back pain and eventually decided I needed o get it looked at as it was starting to impact on my work and sleep. I contacted Mathew and booked an appointment. I have had a number of sessions of acupuncture and Mathew gave me several different exercises to do to strengthen my back. It was the best thing I ever did, my back is so much better, most days I am completely pain free, which I never thought would happen. Mathew is very professional and I can’t thank him enough for alleviating my painful back. More...

I'm so glad I contacted Hawkes Physio to be seen for my shoulder. As an animator, I spend my entire waking life bent over a desk drawing. In the last year, I'd hurt my shoulder on a particularly tough job and I'd let it get so bad I couldn't take a full inhale. I tried so many things: foam rollers, deep heat, ice, a new chair, 'sitting up straight' but the pain was eventually unbearable. Mathew identified in the first session it was actually nerve pain with a root cause in my neck!! I was so nervous about going but the man is a pure nerd, an anatomical wizard, basically a really good egg. I just felt compelled to leave a google review, because all the good reviews helped my make my first appointment, and I'm so glad I did :) More...

I first encountered Matt more than a decade ago when he was working as part of another practice. As a person with a neurological disability (cerebral palsy) it was difficult to find somebody with the necessary skillset and willingness to take on an individual with my presenting problems. From the initial consultation, where my problems were assessed, Matt was outstanding and able to pick out the underlying causes of pain and movement deficits. After this, I saw him for many years periodically including some spells of long-term treatment. In late 2021 I had extensive surgery, a hip excision and Schoenecker procedure; I was in hospital for several months and received no regular physiotherapy input, and although the procedure was itself successful, I then developed other problems. This was when I endeavoured to trace Matt, found out he now had a practice of his own and organised treatment with them for when I was discharged from hospital. I have now had several sessions and my situation has vastly improved from what it was. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough, whenever I encounter a physiological problem, he is always the first person I think about for a consultation. More...

Matt was very professional and the clinic was spotless. He took time to understand my problem and was very informative. He put no pressure on booking sessions and was nothing but genuine.

I have been going to Matt for 15 sessions for an ongoing back condition. With Matts skills and expertise I have been able to become self sufficient with noticeable results. His advice and guidance means I can now manage my pain and can keep it under control and know what to do when it flares up. I have been dealing with this for about 8 years and the change I have seen after having 15 sessions is brilliant. I highly recommend! More...

Waking up with excruciating pain in my neck and shoulder caused me to seek help from Hawkes Physio. I was unable to move or turn my head without agonising pain - Matt quickly diagnosed the problem and after just three sessions of TENS treatment and acupuncture with him I have a full range of movements returning in just four days. (Remarkable result, considering NHS states this type of neck injury would take 4-6 weeks to recover from?) Working together with Matt and the the exercise regime he has suggested for me, Stetcher I do every couple of hours, I feel confident I can get back to being completely pain free and after just four days I have been able to stop taking the codeine painkiller medication! I highly recommend Matt, having received first class patient care and outstanding results myself, I can confirm he is very knowledgeable, a truly skilled professional who can help you to regain movement and reduce your pain - worth every penny - don’t hesitate to give him a call?

After damaging my calf muscle I was struggling to walk. I looked for local physiotherapist and Hawkers came very recommended. So I booked 5 sessions and had treatment with Matthew. Matt was very professional and obviously new his subject. Within 3 sessions I was 80% back to recovery. I have now completed my 5 sessions and I am back playing sport again and doing Matt’s recommended exercises at home. Great value for money as well. Thank you Matt. More...

Mathew managed to pin point what the problem was on my first visit to him as although I'd seen another therapist for a few sessions things weren't improving. Once he'd explained to me what the problem was and got me doing some exercises, things improved dramatically and the improvement was very quick. Now I've just got to remember to do the exercises .
