• Just had a baby, or already got children?

• Noticed pain in your back or pelvis?

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.

We’re registered Mummy MOT practitioners, and our specialist women’s health physiotherapists will assess your condition and recommend a tailored course of action to help get you back to your best. This is the postnatal check you deserve.

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.
