Mummy MOT in Leicester
Restore, Rebuild, and Reconnect with The Mummy MOT at The Health Suite Leicester.
The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive assessment leading to a treatment plan for postpartum 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 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 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 MOT also evaluates your overall physical performance, guiding safe exercises that can aid in your postnatal recovery.
The Mummy MOT helps prevent long-term health issues, restores strength, and reduces pain, promoting overall well-being. It also boosts confidence by supporting mothers in regaining their physical health and returning to normal activities. With expert guidance and a holistic approach, the Mummy MOT ensures that new mothers receive the care they need to feel supported and empowered throughout their recovery journey.
