Who needs a 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 result in altered transfer load, back pain, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel weakness.
A Mummy MOT helps women avoid these distressing and often embarrassing symptoms. Liz will assess your tummy gap and pelvic floor and this will enable the creation of a bespoke post-natal recovery programme plan devised especially for you, your lifestyle and fitness goals, including specific and safe post-natal exercises to regain stability and optimum function.
