Mummy MOT
About our Mummy MOT
Pregnancy and childbirth (vaginal and caesarian deliveries) can lead to weakness in the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. The resulting instability could lead to issues such as back pain, pelvic pain and bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction.
A Mummy MOT is carried out by our trained osteopath specialist, Emilie Roddie, to assess posture, scarring and strength of abdominal and pelvic muscles to highlight any possible concerns. A report will be compiled alongside a bespoke recovery plan including appropriate advice and exercises.
It is recommended that women have an initial assessment from 6-8 weeks postnatal, but we also treat women who gave birth longer ago.
