Mummy MOT

The Mummy MOT® – Specialist Postnatal Check-UpThe Mummy MOT® is a comprehensive postnatal assessment designed to support your recovery after childbirth, whether following a vaginal delivery or caesarean section. It can be carried out anytime from 6 weeks up to 6 years after birth.This specialist check-up looks at your abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, and overall posture, helping to identify and address any issues. You’ll also receive tailored advice and exercises to rebuild strength, restore confidence, and support your long-term wellbeing.The postnatal period is a time of profound change physically, emotionally, and mentally. As your body adapts after pregnancy and birth, dedicated support can make a real difference to your recovery and daily life.

We offer both general postnatal osteopathic care and the Mummy MOT® including:

• Pelvic floor and abdominal muscle check (with the option of internal assessment if relevant and with your full consent)

• Screening for diastasis recti (tummy gap)

• Postural assessment

• Practical advice for lifting, feeding, and baby care

• Screening for bladder, bowel, or sexual dysfunction

• Tailored exercise programme to support recovery and strength

​

The Mummy MOT is best booked after your GP or midwife postnatal check (usually after 6 weeks), but it remains highly beneficial even months or years later.
