Mummy MOT® – Postnatal Physiotherapy Check for New Mums
Supporting your body’s recovery after pregnancy and birth
The Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment designed to help mums recover safely and confidently after giving birth. Whether you had a vaginal or caesarean delivery, your body has undergone major changes. A Mummy MOT provides the guidance, treatment, and tailored exercise plan you need to restore strength, function, and wellbeing.
WHAT IS A MUMMY MOT®?
A Mummy MOT is a comprehensive postnatal check-up carried out by a certified women’s health physiotherapist. It focuses on your pelvic floor, core, posture, and movement, identifying any issues that may have developed during pregnancy or birth—so you can return to daily activities, exercise, and sport safely.
WHAT DOES THE MUMMY MOT INCLUDE?
The sessions included in the package are as follows:
75 minute Initial Assessment – assessment, screening and provision of a personalised Mummy MOT report which may include guidance on pelvic floor and core strengthening, safe exercise progression (e.g. running, gym, yoga, Pilates), scar and abdominal massage techniques, posture and daily movement strategies, pain-management and rehabilitation.
30 minute Follow Up Appointment– to reassess issues identified in the initial assessment, give ongoing support and further education and program changes
You are more than welcome to bring your baby along to the appointment and our reception team will be on hand to help with pushchairs or any other equipment needed.
The packages cost £143.00
Is a Mummy MOT for Me?
