YOUR 1-HOUR ASSESSMENT
What to expect?
01
Detailed consultation
Discussing your pregnancy and birth journey, any symptoms you may be experiencing, any related conditions that affect your recovery, and your goals. For some women, this is rebuilding strength to return to normal function without pain, for some its returning to a particular sport, and for others its aesthetic focused- all reasons are valid and accepted!
02
Assessment
Assessment of your body's strength and function, and a dive into any symptoms you are experiencing.
​
We will always check:
​
Diastasis Recti
Also known as tummy gap, often a result of the stomach muscles stretching during pregnancy
​
Pelvic Floor dysfunction
Very common to experience weakness of the pelvic floor muscles causing leaking, pain and imbalances in the body.
Internal Exam (If needed)
Depending on your symptoms, we may also do an internal exam if deemed necessary but don't worry- if you aren't comfortable there is plenty we can do without an internal exam.
​
Functional movements
restrictions or pain elsewhere in the body: commonly the lower back, hips, neck and shoulders, wrists and feet.
03
Diagnosis and Treatment plan
After discussing the results of the assessment we will formulate a treatment plan that suits you. This is often a combination of rehabilitation exercises, manual treatment to the area, lymphatic drainage and scar mobilisation.
FOLLOW-UP APPOINMENT
Mummy MOT Follow-Up
45 minutes
A personalised follow-up to review your progress and continue your postnatal recovery.
​
Your appointment includes a review of symptoms, changes and exercises, with strength and functional retesting to track your progress. We’ll then focus on any areas that need further support, which may include manual therapy, lymphatic drainage or C-section scar mobilisation.
​
Your treatment and exercises will be adapted to your needs and recovery goals.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
How to prepare
We usually see mums from 6-8 weeks past birth but we've also seen mums months or even years after! Importantly if you are still bleeding we'd advise waiting until this has stopped and/or c-section scar is closed.
Wear comfortable loose clothing that is easy to remove or move around. If you are experiencing any pelvic floor symptoms like leaking or a severe lack of control in your muscles then there is a chance we need to do an internal exam, in which case shower before the session to keep as hygienic as possible.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes! we understand that in the early stages of motherhood you may not want to leave your baby, and we are used to having baby in the appointment. If there are moments where we have to stop to feed or manage baby, we always account a little extra time for this, however if we overrun we can always finish the full assessment in a follow up appointment.
We have a Cafe and waiting area within the business centre: if it is possible we recommend coming with baby and partner or friend, spend the consultation together and then allow space for mum to be assessed and run thrhough the results.
