Our Mummy MOT sessions will help you with your recovery following the birth of your baby
What is A Mummy MOT®?
A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. It will assess your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles following giving birth. Following the assessment we can provide you with a bespoke rehabilitation and treatment programme to enhance your recovery and allow you to return to activity and exercise safely.
When should I have a Mummy MOT?
You can have a Mummy MOT anytime from 6 weeks post delivery. A Mummy MOT is suitable for ALL mums even those who gave birth years ago who may still have a tummy gap or pelvic floor related issues.
