One standout service in women’s health physiotherapy is the Mummy MOT, a comprehensive postnatal check-up designed for new mothers. This 1-hour session assesses your pelvic health, core strength, and overall recovery following childbirth.
Here’s what you can expect during a Mummy MOT:
- A complete evaluation of abdominal muscles to identify any separation (diastasis recti).
- A pelvic floor strength assessment to address common postpartum issues like incontinence or discomfort.
- Personalised advice on exercises or activities to safely rebuild strength.
- Guidance on managing common postnatal symptoms or complications.
The Mummy MOT is not just about recovery—it’s about restoring confidence and empowering mothers to return to their daily activities, whether that’s chasing after little ones, getting back to work, or starting a fitness routine.
Additional Services That Make a Difference
At HealthSpace, women’s health physiotherapy goes beyond the Mummy MOT. The diverse range of services caters to women navigating all life stages.
C-Section Recovery & Scar Therapy
Many women find it challenging to recover fully after a C-section. This specialized therapy reduces pain, restores scar mobility, and teaches self-care techniques for long-term healing.
Menopause and Pelvic Floor Care
Menopause brings significant physical changes, often affecting joint health and pelvic floor strength. Menopause physiotherapy provides tailored exercises and therapies to alleviate discomfort, promote mobility, and improve pelvic health.
Post-Surgical Care
For women recovering from surgeries like a hysterectomy or breast cancer procedures, scar therapy and physiotherapy play a vital role. Treatments focus on improving scar appearance, enhancing mobility, and rebuilding confidence.
