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 pain, back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. We offer the Mummy MOT check-up which is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. Suitable from 8 weeks after giving birth, It is still a good check to have even if it has been a few years since your last baby and you have ongoing tummy gap or pelvic floor issues. During this comprehensive assessment, you can talk about any issues that are worrying you. The assessment looks at your posture, pelvic floor and tummy gap recovery as well as advice about exercises.
