A Comprehensive Postnatal Check-Up: Prioritising Your Well-Being (The Mummy MOT)

During pregnancy and childbirth, the muscles, fascia, and ligaments in the lower part of your pelvis, responsible for supporting pelvic organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum, undergo significant stress and strain to accommodate the baby’s arrival.

Therefore, after giving birth, there are two essential appointments on your schedule that should not be missed:

First, a review with your gynaecologist, and second, an assessment by a physiotherapist specialising in obstetrics and urogynaecology. This assessment encompasses:

• Full Posture Screen:Our physiotherapist carefully evaluates the alignment of your pelvis with respect to your spine, as proper alignment forms the foundation for effective abdominal-pelvic recovery.
• Abdominal Muscle Examination and Diaphragm Assessment:We ensure there’s no diastasis (separation) of the rectus muscles or restrictions in the diaphragm, a crucial breathing muscle.
• Pelvic Floor Muscle Assessment:We assess the condition of your pelvic floor muscles and any scars, addressing adhesions or imbalances that may affect their functionality. Our physiotherapist also evaluates pelvic floor tone and provides you with a personalised exercise guide to support your recovery.
• Prolapse Screening:We check for any signs of visceral prolapse.

In some cases, additional sessions may be necessary to address specific issues, such as:

• Poor posture contributing to intra-abdominal pressure and pelvic floor dysfunctions
• Pelvic misalignment.
• Muscle strains.
• Painful scars.
• Rehabilitation following a caesarean section.
• Diastasis rectus.
• Urinary incontinence and bladder dysfunctions.
• Bowel incontinence.
• Sexual dysfunctions.
• Potential back discomfort resulting from breastfeeding postures.

Our comprehensive postnatal check-up, known as The Mummy MOT, prioritises your well-being by addressing these issues and tailoring a plan to support your postpartum recovery journey. Don’t hesitate to schedule your assessment for a healthier, more comfortable postnatal experience.
