Body MOT (including Sports Movement Assessment)

Have you ever wondered why you are prone to the same injury when training, or that your posture affects your ability to run efficiently, or reach for that position to return that serve?

Although common in all levels of sport, these movement disorders can be assessed, improved and in some cases completely resolved.

We can offer you a full movement screen that analyses the way you move highlighting areas of potential weakness and instability and shows where you need to improve.

Who is it for?

The assessment is suitable for anyone who trains and competes regularly and is addicted to sport at any level! You may want to iron out the following.

Client's view
Martin Cox is planning to cycle Lands End to John O'Groats and back again in just 10 days! He has explained what's involved in our Body MOT in his blog post

• struggling with recurrent sports injuries
• problems with posture and body alignment
• strength and stability issues that haven’t improved in the gym
• suffering with persistent work related aches & pains, headaches & tight muscles in your neck/shoulders
• not performing as well in sport following a previous injury
• keen to prevent a potential problem whilst planning to do something special such as taking up a new sport, climb a mountain or going on an active holiday
• just wanting a reassuring checkup (like you would at the dentist).

What is involved in the MOT?

You will receive a tailored exercise plan specifically designed to target the issues found during the initial assessment.

The session will cover the movement screen as well as giving you an exercise programme to take away with you. The entire MOT can either be carried out as a single appointment if you are willing to wait whilst we design your personalised program or you can return for the 30 minute follow up appointment the next day or week.

Movement Screen and Personalised programme - £110

• STEP 1 - 60 minute movement screen - we will conduct a movement screen during which we will analyse a series of functional movements.
• STEP 2 - 30 minutes - We will then design a specific programme for you (this can be done whilst you wait)
• STEP 3 - 30 minutes - we will run through your exercise programme which you will take away with you. This can be either a return appointment (e.g. next day) or can be carried out the same day as your initial movement screen if you want to wait.

60 min follow up - £60 (usually taken 1 month after initial assessment)

The 60 minute follow up session rechecks your movements and tweaks your programme depending on what you have achieved.

• 60 minutes - We will re-check your movements and tweak your programme depending on what you have achieved

What's the difference between the Full Body MOT and the Tune Up?

 

Where do you offer the MOT?

The MOT is available at both our Derby (Pride Park) and Long Eaton clinics.

What should I wear?

You should wear loose comfortable clothing to allow free movement during the assessment (e.g. vest and shorts). Please let us know if you would like the assessment to be carried out by a therapist of the same sex.

What is the cost and how long will it take?

The total cost is £110. The MOT lasts 2 hours split into the following:

• the initial assessment is 60 minutes
• we then spend 30 minutes or more custom making an exercise programme
• we will run through the exercise programme with you for 30 minutes

What will I get from the assessment?

After the assessment, we will provide you with a full prevention or injury treatment plan which may include a tailored online exercise programme you can do at home with advice on other subjects such as posture.

Is there a follow up to the MOT?

We recommend having a 60 minute follow up appointment - usually taken about a month later.
