What is the Mummy MOT®?

The Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal assessment developed for women following childbirth—whether vaginal or Caesarean. It is a trademarked service delivered by licensed practitioners who are trained in postnatal recovery, combining physiotherapy and clinical expertise to support women’s return to optimal health after having a baby.

The assessment includes a detailed check of posture, pelvic floor function, abdominal muscles (checking for diastasis recti), breathing patterns, and overall movement. Based on the findings, a personalised rehabilitation plan is provided to address any dysfunction, weakness, or discomfort, helping mothers regain core strength and confidence in their bodies.

Who is it for?

The Mummy MOT® is designed for women who have given birth—regardless of how long ago. It is recommended from six weeks postnatal onwards and is beneficial whether the birth was recent or several years in the past. It can support women who are:

• Experiencing pelvic floor weakness or leakage

• Noticing a gap or weakness in the abdominal muscles

• Struggling with lower back, pelvic, or hip pain

• Feeling disconnected from their core

• Returning to exercise and want to do so safely

• Simply wanting reassurance and a tailored postnatal recovery plan
  

It is suitable for all mothers, from first-time parents to those with multiple children, and is a valuable step towards long-term pelvic and core health.
