MUMMY CHECK

WHAT IS A MUMMY CHECK?

This comprehensive postnatal check can take place at any stage. We recommend you book from 6 week postpartum after a vaginal birth and 8 weeks postpartum after a cesarean section.

The aims are to help facilitate your healing and improve your confidence to return to exercise, safely and effectively, as well as help prevent long term issues. 

Your therapist Izzy is an osteopath, qualified Pilates instructor, Mummy MOT® practitioner and Everything Natal practitioner. You know you are in safe hands.

The appointment lasts up to 75 minutes and costs £70.

WHAT DOES IT INCLUDES?

  • A full debrief of your pregnancy journey and birth story

  • A detailed postnatal assessment of your abdominal and pelvic area

  • A check up of your posture, tummy muscles, including any tummy gap, pelvic floor and any other issues you might be concerned with

  • Treatment might include scar massage (such as episiotomy or C-section scars), soft tissue work and osteopathic techniques

  • Advice and tailored safe postnatal exercises to improve stability, posture and core strength

  • A Written Report of findings and advice

As part of the assessment you will also be offered an internal vaginal examination.

The purpose of this internal examination is to assess the pelvic floor effectively and more comprehensively.

Internal assessments are entirely optional and can be done either during this first session (time allowing) or subsequent sessions.
