The Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal assessment recommended for all women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It includes a comprehensive check of your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, including screening for diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and posture.

We assess the overall health of the pelvic floor, including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support your bladder, bowel, and uterus. Where appropriate and with your consent, internal techniques may be offered to support your recovery but these are entirely optional and can be
discussed in detail with your practitioner during your session.
As part of the session, we not only carry out a general physical health screening but also provide space to check in on your emotional and mental wellbeing, which often can be part of postnatal challenges. Our aim is to support you as a whole person, not just your physical recovery.

You’ll also receive a personalised programme of pelvic floor and core-based exercises tailored to your needs and goals, whether you’re aiming to return to a particular sport, rebuild general fitness, or enhance your overall postpartum wellbeing.

The goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and empowered on your postnatal journey, no matter how long it’s been since you gave birth.
