The postnatal care you need
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 dysfunction. 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.
Sophie at City Way Health is qualified and experienced in delivering this treatment to any women looking to restore their pelvic floor issues.
The Mummy MOT is a comprehensive postnatal check-up designed for mums. It’s a holistic assessment that evaluates your body’s recovery after pregnancy and birth. Whether you gave birth recently or several years ago, the Mummy MOT can identify any areas of concern, offer tailored treatment, and provide guidance on rehabilitation and lifestyle changes that support your physical recovery.
This service is particularly beneficial for women experiencing common postnatal issues such as:
- Postnatal postural issues
- Back pain
- Diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles)
- Pelvic pain or incontinence
- Limited mobility or difficulty with physical activity
- Scar tissue or recovery after C-section or vaginal birth
- Difficulty returning to exercise
