The Mummy MOT is a specialized postnatal health assessment designed for mothers after childbirth, regardless of how recently they gave birth. It is typically performed by a certified practitioner. The aim is to assess and address physical changes and challenges that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth, focusing on long-term health and recovery.

What to Expect:

Comprehensive Assessment:

• Pelvic Floor Function: Evaluation of strength, control, and any issues such as incontinence, prolapse, or pain.

• Abdominal Separation (Diastasis Recti): Checking for a gap between the abdominal muscles, its severity, and how well the muscles are functioning.

• Posture and Alignment: Assessment of posture, spinal alignment, and how the body is adapting after pregnancy.

• Breathing Patterns: Ensuring correct breathing mechanics, which are often affected by pregnancy and childbirth.

• C-Section or Perineal Scars: Examination of scar tissue from cesarean or vaginal tears for proper healing and mobility.

  Discussion:

• Symptoms: A discussion of issues such as back pain, pelvic pain, leakage (urinary or bowel), or sexual discomfort.

• Lifestyle: Analysis of daily activities, childcare routines, and return-to-exercise goals.

  Tailored Rehabilitation Plan:

• Exercises: Personalised exercises to strengthen the core, improve posture, and address any weaknesses, tightness or imbalances.

• Pelvic Floor Training: Strategies to rebuild pelvic floor function.

• Postural Corrections: Advice on ergonomic adjustments to reduce strain during daily tasks like breastfeeding or lifting.

• Lifestyle Advice: Recommendations on gradual return to physical exercise safely, whether it’s yoga, running, or strength training.

  Holistic Approach:

• Molly integrates osteopathy, yoga, shockwave therapy, health coaching and circadian biology into her treatment and advice, recognising not only the physical challenges but also the mental and emotional elements of post-partum recovery.
