Introducing The Mummy MOT to Bodysmiths for New Mums
I am thrilled to introduce the Mummy MOT assessment to the Bodysmiths Clinic! Women’s health has always been a passion of mine, and I strongly believe that every woman deserves access to a comprehensive postnatal assessment and tailored advice. This is something I personally found lacking in my local community after giving birth, which is why I’m so passionate about making it accessible to others.
What is the Mummy MOT?
A Mummy MOT is a comprehensive and in-depth postnatal assessment, lasting approximately one to one and a half hours. It is designed to support women following both vaginal and cesarean deliveries. This assessment can be booked as early as 6 to 8 weeks postpartum, providing a crucial opportunity to evaluate your recovery and address any concerns early on.
What does the Mummy MOT involve?
When you come for your session, you can expect a welcoming and open conversation. I’ll ask a series of questions (within reason, of course!) to understand what matters most to you. Whether your goal is to return to running, lift your baby without pain, or regain confidence and comfort in intimacy, nothing is off-limits. This is a safe, judgment-free space – please don’t hesitate to share your concerns or goals.
During the session, I’ll enquire about your current symptoms, past activity levels, and how active you are now. This allows me to create a realistic plan that aligns with your priorities and aspirations.
Next, we’ll move on to the physical assessment. I’ll examine your posture and guide you through functional movements that relate to your daily activities and goals. If you feel comfortable, we can also perform an internal examination to assess your pelvic floor muscles, providing valuable insight into your recovery and overall health.
Following the initial consultation, I’ll compile a detailed report for you. This will include my findings, recommendations, and a personalised exercise plan to support your recovery and help you achieve your goals. The report will be sent to you shortly after your session.
