Why do I need a Mummy MOT?

MummyMOTmotherandbaby- Pelvic floor assessment southampton

As wonderful a time as pregnancy and birth is, there is no doubt that it puts a women's body through a lot of changes, which can cause strain on the musculoskeletal system.  When tissues are not functioning optimally pain and disfunction can occur.

​

This is why we believe it is essential for post-natal women to be given the correct support towards birth recovery, allowing them to safely return to activities they love and regain control of their bodies.

​

Mums need to bend, squat and lift so we provide clinical postnatal care and functional exercises for our patients following birth (no matter how long ago).

​

What happens in a Mummy MOT?

  • Detailed consultation to discuss birth and any issues arising form this, as well as general health and wellbeing
