Designed for all women who have had a baby
Whether 6 weeks or 6 years postnatal, this could help you
The Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after childbirth. This will involve an internal pelvic floor assessment, however if you are uncomfortable with this aspect it can be left out. We will provide you with gentle exercises and treatment to help with your recovery – and get you back on track with your fitness goals. You will also get an Ultrasound scan of your pelvic floor, this can be done externally and also provides you with a great visual feedback of how to contract and relax your pelvic floor muscles.
Who needs The Mummy MOT®?
After having a baby, half of all women have a weakness in either their tummy or pelvic floor area over a third suffer with chronic pelvic pain.
This can create instability and poor core strength and results in altered transfer load, back pain, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel weakness.
The Mummy MOT® helps women avoid these distressing and often embarrassing symptoms. The assessment by a specialist physiotherapist of the tummy gap and pelvic floor will enable the creation of a bespoke post-natal recovery programme plan devised especially for the woman, her lifestyle and fitness goals, including specific and safe post-natal exercises to regain stability and optimum function.
