MUMMY MOT

What is a Mummy MOT?

A Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal assessment carried out by a licensed practitioner with advanced training in women’s health. The appointment includes a comprehensive assessment of your posture, abdominal muscles, pelvic floor function and movement patterns, alongside screening for common postnatal concerns such as bladder symptoms, prolapse and abdominal separation (diastasis recti).

Following your assessment, you’ll receive a personalised recovery programme tailored to your lifestyle and goals. A Mummy MOT® Can Help With:

  • Pelvic floor weakness
  • Bladder leakage or urinary incontinence
  • Abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti)
  • Core weakness
  • Back and pelvic pain
  • C-section scar recovery
  • Returning to exercise safely
  • Postural changes after pregnancy
