You really don’t have to just put up with these symptoms. The WomanKind Heatlh ealthMummy MOT service is here to support you with a range of specialist postnatal physiotherapy treatments to help your body recover from the physical changes you experience during pregnancy and labour.

What is Mummy MOT?
The Mummy MOT service is a women’s health physiotherapy assessment for new mums. We’ll assess your posture, breathing, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor – and we’ll recommend any other postnatal recovery services you might benefit from. We’ll also talk you through postnatal exercise and getting back to fitness.
You’ll get a full postural screen for:
- Tummy gap (diastasis recti).
- Bladder or bowel leakage.
- Signs of prolapse.
- Back and pelvic pain.
- Sexual dysfunction.
Depending on your needs this may include:
- Pelvic floor muscle assessment.
- Abdominal muscle exam to check for any separation.
- Back and pelvis assessment.
- C-section or perineal scar assessment.
You’ll leave your appointment with:
- A better understanding of your postnatal needs and goals.
- A plan to recover from your delivery and get back to what you love doing.
- An understanding of the stages you’ll go through in your postnatal recovery.
- The reassurance that you’ve got our support through it all.
We’ll follow up with:
- Education and advice on safe ways to protect your recovery AND keep up with being a new mum.
- A bespoke rehab programme tailed to your needs and goals.
- The knowledge you’re doing your pelvic floor exercises correctly and in a way that will move you forwards.
- A written report on the findings of your assessment.
