The Mummy MOT
The postnatal check you deserve: a full one hour assessment with a licensed Mummy MOT practitioner, however long ago you gave birth.
Up to half of all women experience weakness in the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy, and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post birth. That can lead to pelvic or back pain, or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These are not things you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.
An initial Mummy MOT is recommended at six to eight weeks postnatal, but you are welcome earlier if there is anything you want to discuss, and we also treat women who gave birth years ago. Gemma Chrystyn is fully trained in postnatal care and licensed to carry out the Mummy MOT.
Your one 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
