What is a Mummy MOT?
The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive postnatal check carried out by our specialist women's health osteopath.

Why do I need a Mummy MOT?

As wonderful a time as pregnancy and birth is, there is no doubt that it puts a women's body through a lot of changes, which can cause strain on the musculoskeletal system. When tissues are not functioning optimally pain and disfunction can occur.
This is why we believe it is essential for post-natal women to be given the correct support towards birth recovery, allowing them to safely return to activities they love and regain control of their bodies.
Mums need to bend, squat and lift so we provide clinical postnatal care and functional exercises for our patients following birth (no matter how long ago).
