Mummy MOT: Complete postnatal health check.
Postnatal checkup & rehabilitation programme
The Mummy MOT is a specialist physiotherapy postnatal check recommended for all women after childbirth, whether it’s 6 weeks or years later. It’s designed to assess the impact of pregnancy and birth on your body and support your recover. It’s tailored to your concerns so each Mummy MOT looks a little different. Pelvic health physios have additional training to offer internal examinations of your pelvic floor (although not before 6 weeks to allow for healing). The aim is to help you back to whats meaningful for you whether it’s playing pain free with your little one or Crossfit. We aim to prevent long-term issues like back pain, bladder weakness, and pelvic dysfunction, which many women many women accept as normal. Baby’s are welcome but might limit concentration!
