Mummy MOT®
The Mummy MOT® is a postnatal 6-week check that tests the muscles of the tummy and pelvic floor. It is performed by a Specialist Women’s Health physiotherapist such as Debbie. The MOT is highly recommended for all women after having a baby. It is never too late to have a Mummy MOT®. It may be years after giving birth that you find you have the opportunity to make an appointment.
Due to Covid-19 the initial Mummy MOT appointment may need to be online

Who needs The Mummy MOT®?
After having a baby, half of all women have a weakness in either their tummy or pelvic floor area, while over a third suffer from complex pelvic pain. This can create instability and weak core strength and results in altered transfer load, back pain, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel weakness.
A Mummy MOT® helps women avoid these distressing and often embarrassing symptoms. The assessment by a specialist physiotherapist of the tummy gap and pelvic floor enables the creation of a bespoke post-natal recovery programme plan devised especially for the woman, her lifestyle and fitness goals, including specific and safe post-natal exercises to regain stability and optimum function.
