What is the Mummy MOT?

Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain, or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunctions. These conditions should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby. It's recommended that women have an initial assessment at 6-8 weeks postnatal, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.

Postnatal Check-Up

Mummy MOT practitioners are fully trained in postnatal care and licensed to carry out a Mummy MOT®. Mums need to bend squat and lift so we provide postnatal clinical care and functional exercises for female clients following birth (no matter how long ago). Rowann O'Donoghue is our licensed Mummy MOT practitioner and one of our very skilled osteopaths. 

What is included?

A 90-minute Mummy MOT appointment includes:

- Full postural screen.
- Pelvic floor muscle assessment.
- Abdominal muscle exam to check for separation.
- Screening for bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction


Rowann is a very approachable, calm and friendly practitioner who you will be in very safe hands with.
