Mummy MOT

The Mummy MOT ™ Post Partum Physiotherapy Assessment is a wonderful way to check how you are recovering postpartum. I think of delivery as a potential sport injury to the core, and pelvic floor muscles, which will require a graded rehabilitation plan to ensure you get back to doing all the activities you love to do, and can manage all the tasks a mum needs to do. It is for mums who are 6 weeks to 60 years + postpartum (it's never too late). 

​

The Mummy MOT ™  begins with a detailed consultation, where I listen to your postpartum concerns and goals, whether related to daily activities or your return to exercise. I will ask about your bladder and bowel function, how your pregnancy progressed and details on the delivery. I will also ask about any pain or discomfort you're currently experiencing. 

​

Following the discussion, I will assess your functional movements and examine your lower back, hips, and core muscles (and C-section scar if appropriate). Additionally, I offer an internal pelvic floor examination to evaluate pelvic floor muscle pain, strength, endurance, and tone. 

Using this comprehensive assessment, I create a tailored rehabilitation program to support your recovery, address specific concerns, and guide you through your postpartum journey. 

​

In addition, for runners, the tailored programme will be in line with the Postpartum Return to Running Guidelines as published by Emma Brockwell, Tom Goons & Grainne Donnelly.
