WHAT IS A MUMMY MOT?
Think of it as your body's essential physical check-up
after carrying and delivering a baby!
A 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 in-depth assessment includes:
-
A full postural screen and check for any current pain (like back pain or hip pain)
-
Checking the strength and function of your pelvic floor muscles
-
Tummy Gap (Diastasis Recti) check: Expert assessment of abdominal separation and a plan to close the gap and restore core strength.
-
C-Section & Perineal Scar Management: Techniques to improve scar healing, mobility, and reduce discomfort.
-
Screening for any bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction
-
Incontinence screen: Effective treatment for urinary leaking (stress or urgency incontinence) when coughing, laughing, or exercising.
-
Discussion of your goals, whether it be easing discomfort or getting back into your fitness routine
