What is a Mummy MOT and why Every mum deserves one
What is the Mummy MOT?
The Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment tailored to your needs as a mum. We look at how your body has recovered / is recovering after pregnancy and birth. My aim is to help you feel confident about moving forward in your postpartum journey. I qualified in the Mummy MOT in 2016 and have been offering them ever since - now from my cosy, relaxing home clinic.
Why Do Women Book a Mummy MOT?
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many women, each with their own reasons for booking a Mummy MOT. Some of the most common reasons for mums booking in with me are
-
C-section scar care - Many women are unsure how to look after their scar, knowledge is key in this area!
-
Safe return to exercise - If you’re keen to get back into exercise, a Mummy MOT ensures you’re ready to do so safely, whenever you are ready of course!
-
Pelvic floor concerns - Pelvic floor health is a common concern after having a baby - especially if you are experiencing symptoms like leaking or heaviness. This is something you absolutely should not be ashamed of, it happens to more mums than you think!
-
Tummy gap (diastasis recti) - If you’re concerned about a separation in your tummy muscles, I can assess this thoroughly and provide exercises to help you strengthen the muscles so you can feel confident in your body when you resume exercise.
-
Postnatal aches and pains - Most women experience aches and pains after having a baby, most commonly neck and lower back pain, there are plenty of simple changes you can do daily to help overcome these.
Why I Love Offering the Mummy MOT
I absolutely love providing this service. It's so rewarding to see women leave my clinic feeling reassured and confident about their postpartum recovery with a plan and timescales about what they can do and when.
Every mum leaves the session with a written report summarising the session and a personalised home exercise programme. Don’t forget it's never too late to have a Mummy MOT - whether you had your baby 8 weeks or 8 years ago, I am here to help!
