Pre and post-natal physiotherapy and our NEW Mummy MOT
Many women experience discomfort and/or pain during or after pregnancy.
Here at NYP we have a specialist Women’s Health physiotherapist who can help.
Common pre and post-natal issues are:
- Pelvic Pain
- Stress or urgency incontinence
- Separation of the abdominal muscles, known as diastasis
- Painful intercourse
- Perineal pain
- Prolapse
These are not a normal part of pre and post-pregnancy.
Please get in touch with us if you would like a pre or post-natal assessment with Hannah.
The Mummy MOT is a post-natal physiotherapy assessment for all women following vaginal or caesarean deliveries, from 6 weeks post-delivery or even many years later.
Who needs a Mummy MOT?
Most women would benefit from this specialist assessment.
It is very common for women to have postural changes and weakness in their tummy and/or pelvic floor muscles following vaginal or caesarean deliveries.
These weaknesses can then create:
- Instability
- muscle imbalances
- poor core strength around the pelvis
These can lead to:
- back pain
- pelvic pain
- bladder and bowel issues
- leaking
- pelvic organ prolapse.
You may have no symptoms at all; you may be struggling with some or all of them. Either way, this assessment will identify any problem areas and will guide you through a programme of exercises to help avoid or reduce any symptoms.
What does a Mummy MOT involve?
- 1 Hour post-natal assessment with Hannah, our specialist post-natal physiotherapist and certified Mummy MOT practitioner
- A check to see how your posture, pelvic floor and stomach muscles are recovering after birth.
- Assessment of any physical problems arising from pregnancy or birth.
- A detailed report and tailored exercise programme
