A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. It assesses how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after birth. And if they’re not, our specialist physiotherapist can provide you with exercises and treatment to help in your recovery and get you back to being able to exercise safely. After pregnancy, up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions should not be something you just put up with as a result of having a baby and a Mummy MOT will allow you to recover and help prevent this from being pushed to one side and considered as your new ‘normal’.
