Hands down the best! And that’s coming from a doctor!
Same hands either way. Pick the one that sounds like you: if you pick wrong it costs nothing, the other is one link away.
It has been there for months. Rest has not fixed it, and you have stopped expecting it to.
Find the cause
Nothing is wrong yet. You would like to keep it that way, and you would rather not guess.
Find the rhythmMost people arrive knowing something is wrong but not what it's called. Point at it instead: eleven regions, and what Jonathan actually does about each one.
Book a session
Desk posture, screen height and sleep position. Often referred from the upper back rather than the neck itself.
Assessment of the whole upper chain, then targeted soft tissue work through the neck and upper back.
Overhead load from racquet sport and gym volume, or long hours held in a fixed desk position.
Work into the rotator cuff, chest and upper back to restore range before anything gets loaded again.
Sustained desk posture and shallow breathing pattern. Usually presents as tightness between the shoulder blades.
Deep tissue through the thoracic spine and rib cage, with the mobility work that holds the change.
Sitting volume, lifting technique and restricted hip movement. The back is usually the symptom, not the cause.
Hips and glutes get assessed first, then the lumbar region is released and the real driver addressed.
Running and cycling volume, or the opposite, long hours seated with the hip permanently flexed.
Hip flexor and glute work, with attention to how the hip is actually loading through your stride.
Underused from sitting, then overloaded in training. A frequent driver of both lower back and hamstring problems.
Targeted glute and deep hip work, plus specific things to do between sessions.
Training load, hill work and not enough recovery between hard sessions.
Deep tissue through the quadriceps group and hip flexors, with guidance on managing load.
Sprint and change-of-direction work, usually on top of restricted hip movement.
Soft tissue through the hamstring group and glutes, with a sensible return-to-load plan.
Rarely the knee itself. Load is normally arriving from the hip, the quad or the ankle.
The structures above and below the joint get worked first, then how the knee tracks is reassessed.
Running volume, a change of footwear, and limited range through the ankle.
Deep work through the calf complex and Achilles, alongside ankle mobility.
Standing hours, footwear, and load transferred down from further up the chain.
Plantar and lower leg work, with practical footwear and loading advice.

No clinic in South West London can say that. Every session is one-to-one with Jonathan: sports massage, deep tissue and injury recovery in Kingston upon Thames. Here are a few of them, in their own words.
Jonathan is an outstanding sports massage therapist. He has treated me several times and on each occasion he has nailed the issue and provided instant relief. He clearly knows his anatomy and exercise physiology, is hugely empathetic and very responsive. He is without doubt the go to sports massage therapist.

It is me every session, so you explain it once and I see what has changed. The first ten minutes go on working out whether this is soft tissue at all, and if it isn't, I'll say so and tell you who to see.
I don’t sell sessions. I sell outcomes.Book a session with Jonathan
Not sure which of these is yours? That is the usual position, and it is the question the diagnostic exists to answer.
Find it on the body →Arranging this for other people rather than for yourself? On-site days for organisations.
Deep tissue work is firm, and there are moments in a session you'll feel. It should never be something you have to brace through: the pressure is worked to what you can breathe through, and Jonathan adjusts as he goes.
Whether one is enough is not something either of you can know before it starts. Something that has been there for years usually takes three to six: weekly at first, then spaced out as it holds. You'll get an honest view at the end of the first session, not a package sold up front.
Shorts, and a vest or t-shirt if the problem is in the upper body. Come as you would to train.
It's targeted soft tissue work, not a spa treatment. If something needs a diagnosis, a scan or a prescription, Jonathan will tell you and point you to the right person rather than work around it.
No, and it is the most common way people arrive: something that has been managed for months or years, rested, stretched, and worked on somewhere that helped for about two days. Length of time matters less than what is driving it, which is what the first session is for. Something long-standing usually takes three to six sessions rather than one.
Still not sure it is the right thing for what you have? That is what the call before a first session is for: it is fifteen minutes and it is with Jonathan, not a receptionist.
