Service Description

If your delivery or recovery so far has been a little bit more of a complex journey, you may benefit from the additional time included in this lengthened Mummy MOT Plus appointment. 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 tummy gap at eight 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 should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby. It’s recommended that women have an initial assessment at 6-8 weeks postnatal, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues. The 1.5 hour assessment includes: - Full postural screen - Pelvic floor muscle assessment - Abdominal muscle exam to check for any separation - Screening for bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction - 30min additional personalised treatment time - 4 week rehabilitation programme More information can be found at https://www.themummymot.com/
