A comprehensive postnatal assessment by a trained specialist
The Mummy MOT: Specialist Postnatal Assessment
The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive postnatal check-up designed to help women recover safely after childbirth. Available at our Putney and Wandsworth clinics, this specialist assessment is recommended from 6 weeks postpartum, whether you had a vaginal delivery or a C-section. We focus on your physical recovery, helping you return to the activities you love without pain or discomfort.
Snjezana is the most knowledgeable physio I’ve ever met – and her knowledge of post-partum issues and my concerns over some of my new found weaknesses was so enlightening! I was given exercises to do, that were so simple yet so hard! I got a treatment also which was amazing! Would highly recommend and can’t wait for another session!

What's included in your Mummy MOT
-
Full Postural & Breathing Screen: We assess how your posture has changed during pregnancy and check your breathing patterns, which are vital for core and pelvic floor function.
-
Abdominal Muscle Assessment: We check for Diastasis Recti (tummy gap) and, more importantly, test the tension and function of your core muscles, not just the size of the gap.
-
Pelvic Floor Evaluation: A detailed internal or external assessment (depending on your comfort and needs) to check for strength, relaxation, and any signs of prolapse or bladder weakness.
-
C-Section or Episiotomy Scar Check: We look at how your scar is healing and can provide Scar Tissue Massage techniques to reduce tightness and discomfort.
-
Bespoke Recovery Roadmap: You will receive a personalized exercise plan tailored to your goals, ensuring a safe and strong return to the gym, running, or daily life.
