Why Back & Body

After pregnancy, it is very common for women to experience abdominal and pelvic floor weakness. This can lead to back or pelvic pain, instability and even bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction.

A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnantal examination for women following both vaginal and C-Section deliveries. A Mummy MOT assessment can be carried out 6-8 weeks after birth but we also treat women who give birth years ago who may still be experiencing pregnancy related issues.

If you are a new Mum, or an experienced mum having problems with urinary leakage/ incontinence, diastasis recti, pelvic or back pain, wanting to get back to sport or even just to feel your best version of you again, then get in touch!
