Pregnancy and childbirth place significant demands on the body. A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment designed to check your recovery, identify any areas of weakness or dysfunction, and support your return to movement, exercise, and daily life.
Typically recommended from 6 weeks after birth (or later if needed), the Mummy MOT focuses on how your body has recovered following pregnancy and delivery.
