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).

​

What happens in a Mummy MOT?

• Detailed consultation to discuss birth and any issues arising form this, as well as general health and wellbeing

• Bowel and bladder screening

• Assessment of scar tissue (including c-section and episiotomy)

• Full functional postural assessment

• Pelvic floor assessment (this does include internal assessment, but only if you wish)

• Sexual function screening

• Screening of tummy gap (known as Diastasis Recti)

• A bespoke recovery program suited to your needs identified in the assessment

• Advice and recommendations for recovery moving forward (including treatment and management recommendations or referral if required)

• A report of findings
