Mummy MOT
A comprehensive postnatal physiotherapy assessment carried out by a Mummy MOT practitioner. This is a detailed examination and involves prescription of an individualised rehabilitation for women who are postnatal. Please note- you are always postnatal after having children, so its never too late to have a Mummy MOT.
Women's Health Physiotherapy is a Specialist service offered at SG Physiotherapy & Pilates. Appointments are 45mins-1 hour long allowing us to focus on your individual needs.
Pre-natal assessments include assessing your functional strength and mobility, beginning to strengthen your core muscles and prepare you for having your baby. You may be suffering from low back pain or pelvic girdle pain- we will assess this and begin to address your pain aor discomfort.
Postnatal MOT appointments may involve internal examination (if you choose) to assess your pelvic floor strength and ability to contract this muscle group. If you are suffering from any form of urinary incontinence or pelvic floor dysfunction we will focus on rehabilitating this through use of pelvic floor and functional strengthening exercises. We will also check out any c-section scars, advise on scar massage and assess for any diastasis rectus abdominus. We will then work with you to develop a rehabilitation programme that is suitable for you.
You do not have to be postnatal or recently had a baby to suffer from issues related to women's health so please come and get assessed if you are worried about incontinence, prolapse or diastasis and we will try to help! This may include referring you on to someone more specialist such as a gynaecologist.
