Mummy MOT in Leicester

The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive assessment leading to a treatment plan for post-partum women.

Many new mums are left with separated abdominal muscles and a weak pelvic floor and never get the rehabilitation they need. This can lead to back and bladder pain as well as bowel and urinary incontinence. Many women will also suffer from sexual dysfunction.

A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after childbirth. Your Mummy MOT practitioner will provide you with gentle exercises and treatment to help with your recovery – and get you back on track with your fitness goals.

The Mummy MOT treatment comprises the following:

Pelvic and Abdominal Examination: We perform a detailed examination of your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, structures which can be significantly impacted by the processes of pregnancy and childbirth. This helps us identify any issues such as diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) or pelvic floor dysfunction that you may be dealing with.

Posture Assessment: Changes in a woman’s body during pregnancy can lead to altered posture. Our Mummy MOT includes a thorough evaluation of your posture, providing insights on how to enhance it and alleviate any associated discomfort or pain.

Breathing Assessment: We recognise that pregnancy-related physical changes can influence breathing patterns. That’s why our Mummy MOT includes a breathing assessment, offering guidance on how to enhance your breathing if needed.

Physical Performance Evaluation: The Mummy MOT also evaluates your overall physical performance, guiding safe exercises that can aid in your postnatal recovery.

A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal check-up for women after giving birth, designed to assess the recovery of the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and overall posture. It helps address issues like diastasis recti (abdominal separation), pelvic pain, and incontinence.

It’s recommended to book a Mummy MOT 6-8 weeks after giving birth. However, women can benefit from this assessment months or even years after delivery, especially if they have ongoing issues like back pain or incontinence.

A Mummy MOT involves a detailed assessment of your pelvic floor muscles, abdominal muscles, and posture. The practitioner may also ask about your childbirth experience, any symptoms you're experiencing, and your daily activities to develop a tailored treatment plan.

Every woman who has given birth, whether vaginally or via C-section, can benefit from a Mummy MOT. It is especially useful for those experiencing pelvic floor weakness, lower back pain, abdominal separation, or difficulty returning to exercise post-pregnancy.

This depends on your health insurance provider. Some plans may cover the Mummy MOT if it’s categorized under women’s health physiotherapy or postpartum care. It's advisable to check with your provider for specific coverage details.

Absolutely! The Mummy MOT® is for all women who have given birth and are still suffering in some way. The sooner you make an appointment, the sooner your symptoms and issues will be alleviated. But it’s never too late to make an appointment.

For mummies who have given birth naturally, we advise you to wait at least 6 weeks before you come in for your Mummy MOT check. This is extended to 8 weeks if you have had a C-section

The Mummy MOT®  includes an internal pelvic exam, and you will be required to remove the bottom half of your clothing. You will be asked to sign a consent form or give a verbal agreement before the exam takes place. Chaperones are available on request.

The initial consultation can take up to an hour. It may take longer, depending on your situation and symptoms. Follow-up times will be discussed with you.

If your diagnosis following the Mummy MOT assessment is beyond the remit of our mummy MOT practitioner, she will have an in-depth conversation with options available for you. At The Health Suite, we are a multidisciplinary integrative team with over 40 practitioners, including consultant radiologists for diagnostic scanning, consultant gynaecologists, pilates instructors and personal trainers, to name a few.
