The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive 1 hour post natal assessment including:

​

• Full Postural Screen

​

• Pelvic Floor muscle assessment (Internal examination is an optional part of the assessment. This may not be appropriate or indicated (and is your choice entirely), so don't let it put you off booking a Mummy MOT if you prefer not to have one), we will discuss this with you at your appointment. 

​

• Abdominal muscle examination to check for any separation

​

• Screening for bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction

​

​

It may be that you have recovered well but are keen to get back into activities such as running, climbing, cycling or hiking but you would like to know how to further strengthen your body and reduce the risk of injury. Over the longer term, ongoing weakness in your abdominal muscles or pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy can cause decreased core strength, leading to possible pelvic or back pain, or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. For some mums, they are actually holding their pevlic floor muscles too tightly which can also contribute to pain. It is vital for you to know whether your pelvic floor muscles are working properly. 

​

After the assessment you will receive a written report of the findings of your assessment, along with a bespoke rehabilitation programme and relevant information on how to reduce your symptoms.  Further follow up sessions can be arranged to suit your goals and requirements whether this is once a week or once a month. 

​

PLEASE NOTE I NO LONGER OFFER SINGLE STAND ALONE APPOINTMENTS AS THERE IS OFTEN TOO MUCH TO COVER, AND IT DOES NOT DO JUSTICE TO EITHER YOURSELF, OR MY CLINICAL EXPERTISE... AND DESIRE FOR OPTIMAL OUTCOMES FOR YOU.
