The Mummy MOT®

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.
