Who needs a Mummy MOT?
All Women should seek a Mummy MOT. Pregnancy and birth place significant pressure on the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. It is therefore no surprise that after having a baby, half of all women experience abdominal or pelvic floor weakness. This can lead to poor core strength and/or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. All of which can be treated once assessed by a pelvic health physiotherapist.
The assessment is suitable for all Mums from six weeks and beyond, especially if you are suffering in any way. Some women will still have a tummy gap and pelvic floor issues years after birth. It’s never too late to make an appointment and can definitely still benefit from the session!
