A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after birth. And if they’re not, then I can provide you with exercises and treatment to help in your recovery and to return to exercise safely.
REMEMBER THIS:
Your body undergoes huge change during pregnancy and birth that requires assesment and rehabilitation. Our pelvic floor is weakned and injured by pregnancy and birth and these injuries need support to allow us to return to full function, free from symptoms and to prevent longer term injury.

THE IMPORTANCE
Pregnancy and Birth by whatever means cause injury to a woman's body. If this injury was on any other part of your body you would have it assessed, rehabilitated and work on recovery. Time alone doesn't provide us optimal healing and our pelvic health postpartum needs attention.
