Who needs a Mummy MOT?
Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a gap in their tummy muscles at 8 weeks post birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions do not have to be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.
It’s recommended that women have an initial assessment from about 6-8 week , but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.
A Full Mummy MOT last 1 hr, Investment £125 including home videos and functional rehabilitation program.
Bespoke 1-1 Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Packages also available following the Mummy MOT.
