A full rub-down and a check Ninety minutes,
A Full Body MOT is ninety minutes with Jonathan on the whole body, not one sore spot. The first few minutes aren’t massage: he asks what you do in a normal week and what’s coming up, watches you move, and feels the tissue before he decides anything. Then he works through the whole body, head to foot.
It’s for someone with a race or a season coming up who wants the whole body gone over first, and for anyone who simply wants a full check. At the end he tells you what he found, what to do before the next session, and books the next one in with you.
If one area is the problem, a sports massage spends the time there. If something needs a diagnosis, a scan or a prescription, he’ll tell you and suggest who to see.

Neck. He checks your neck, shoulders and upper back together, then works on the neck and upper back.
Shoulder. Work on the rotator cuff, chest and upper back to free up movement before you load it again.
Upper back. Deep tissue work around the mid-back and ribs, plus mobility exercises to help it last.
Lower back. He checks your hips and glutes first, then works on the lower back and whatever is really causing it.
Hip. Work on the front of the hip and the glutes, looking at how your hip actually moves when you walk or run.
Glute. Focused glute and deep hip work, plus things to do between sessions.
Quad. Deep tissue work on the thigh and the front of the hip, with advice on managing your training.
Hamstring. Work on the hamstrings and glutes, with a sensible plan for getting back to full training.
Knee. He works above and below the knee first, then checks again how it moves.
Calf. Deep work on the calf and Achilles, plus ankle mobility.
Foot. Work on the sole of the foot and the lower leg, with practical advice on footwear and activity.
What he found, what to do before the next session, and when it’s worth coming back. The next appointment is booked before you leave.
The same three steps, whichever session you book. There’s one therapist, so it always works the same way.
The intro call is free, and it’s the quickest way to find out whether this is right for you. If it isn’t, he’ll say so, just as he would if you needed a diagnosis, a scan or a prescription.
Shorts, and a vest or t-shirt if the problem is in the upper body; come as you would to train. It’s just you and Jonathan for the whole session. There’s no team and no handover.
In a Full Body MOT that means the whole body, head to foot, in one session.
Neither of you can know before you start whether one session will be enough. Something that has been there for years usually takes three to six (weekly at first, then spaced out as it improves), and at the end of the first session you’ll get a straight answer, not a package sold up front.
Prices are per session. There’s only one therapist, so there’s only one price. For the other therapies Jonathan offers, get in touch and ask.
Jonathan works in Kingston on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and in Esher on Monday and Friday.
Ninety minutes, one person, the whole body. If one area turns out to need most of the time, he’ll tell you and spend it there.
Book a Full Body MOTNot sure which you need? The first session will sort that out. Or start from where you are: something already hurts, or nothing hurts yet.
No. It’s a full check and a full massage by a sports massage therapist. Jonathan looks at how you move and works on the muscle and soft tissue. If something needs a diagnosis, a scan or a prescription, he’ll tell you and suggest who to see.
Someone with a race or a season coming up who wants the whole body gone over first, and anyone who wants a full check instead of work on one sore spot.
What he found, what to do before the next session, and the next appointment booked in. On the day, drink plenty of water and keep moving: a 30-minute walk is ideal.
