Support Your Recovery After Birth With A Mummy MOT In London
Being pregnant and giving birth can bring many unexpected changes. Although the joys of pregnancy are spoken of openly, all too often common problems are not. Many women are surprised by how much pregnancy and birth affect their physical and mental health.
Having the right support is vital during your journey as a mother.
One of the many services we offer at PelviCare is what’s known as the Mummy MOT. This post-natal rehabilitative assessment is well-known in countries like France, but it’s still gaining traction in the UK.
A Mummy MOT involves a medical practitioner supporting your health in a number of ways, including:
- Checking how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are healing, then recommending interventions to speed up your recovery.
- Suggesting exercises to help manage symptoms and enable you to get back to full levels of fitness.
- Preventing long-term child-birth related issues.
- Creating a bespoke post-natal recovery programme to help you achieve your lifestyle and fitness goals. These include exercises that will improve your stability, posture and core strength.
A Mummy MOT will ensure you get help for conditions like musculoskeletal pregnancy related conditions, diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunctions, which are extremely common. The assessment is suitable whether you had a vaginal birth or caesarean delivery.
Ideal for women looking for this service in London, PelviCare operates our physiotherapy clinic in Greenwich.
