Postpartum MOT
A Postpartum MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. This is an assessment that will go beyond the basics.
I understand the profound physical and emotional changes your body undergoes during motherhood. I will assess your posture, breathing, stomach muscles (to check for ‘separation’) pelvic floor balance and muscle activation, scar tissue and the rest of your body too. You will have a comprehensive screening based on your complete history and at the end of it you will have a plan for how to move forward.
In this screening you will also receive initial treatment and following this you will receive a plan and advice on next steps.
The 6 week GP screening is not going to give you a lot of information about what is going on in your body – however, my screening and my experience of having treated many hundreds of women after birth, will give you a comprehensive plan for moving forward and restoring good health and vitality. My approach does not take into account just the physical symptoms, but is a truly holistic and comprehensive assessment.
Any woman, in any life stage may benefit from this kind of treatment, although it is particularly beneficial for those wanting assistance or support.
