The Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment designed to support recovery after pregnancy and childbirth. The appointment focuses on how your body is functioning and identifies any areas that may benefit from rehabilitation or support.

During the session, we assess posture, breathing, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor function. This helps identify common postnatal concerns such as abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pelvic floor weakness, back pain or symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse.

An internal pelvic floor examination is optional, but it can provide a more accurate assessment of pelvic floor strength and may be recommended if you are experiencing symptoms such as heaviness or prolapse.

Following the assessment, you will receive a personalised rehabilitation programme with exercises and advice tailored to your recovery.

Once your appointment is booked, a short health questionnaire will be sent for you to complete before the session to help guide the assessment.

Follow-up sessions can be arranged if needed depending on your goals and recovery.

Low back pain can be frustrating and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to take over your life.

In today's busy world, stress and anxiety are more common than ever. You might feel it as a knot in your stomach, tension in your shoulders, or a constant racing mind. While stress is a normal part of life, chronic stress can take a real toll on both your physical and mental well-being.

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease" because it develops quietly, without obvious symptoms, until a bone breaks.

Chronic pain is usually defined as pain that persists for more than three months, sometimes continuing long after the original injury has healed. Unlike acute pain which serves as an important warning signal. Chronic pain can become a condition in itself.
