Rebuilding Strength and Confidence: The Power of a Mummy MOT

The journey of motherhood is an incredible and transformative experience, but it can also bring about significant changes to a woman’s body. Whether you've recently given birth, are navigating the challenges of peri-menopause, or have entered post-menopause, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your body. That’s where the Mummy MOT comes in.

A Mummy MOT is an assessment designed to support women in reconnecting with their bodies post-childbirth or after surgery. While it's commonly recommended for women from six weeks postpartum, those experiencing peri-menopausal or post-menopausal changes can also benefit from this tailored service.

What is a Mummy MOT?

A Mummy MOT is a comprehensive assessment and recovery program that takes a holistic approach to help you realign and reconnect with your body rebuilding your core muscles and restoring your strength. The process focuses on several key areas:

Posture Review:

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the physical demands of motherhood can impact your posture. A Mummy MOT will assess your posture, helping you identify any misalignments or tension, and guide you toward correcting them.

Breathing Techniques:

Breathing is foundational to overall health, especially when it comes to core strength and pelvic floor health. During your MOT, you’ll learn the correct breathing techniques that help activate and engage your deep core muscles, improving both function and comfort.

Pelvic Floor Health:

One of the most common postnatal concerns is pelvic floor weakness, which can lead to incontinence or discomfort. The Mummy MOT will assess your pelvic floor, checking for any dysfunction and guiding you through exercises that target and strengthen this vital area. In addition, those women who have anxiety with regards to resuming intimate sexual activity or are presenting with discomfort during sexual intercourse would benefit from recommendations as a result from the practitioners findings.

Core Strengthening:

From the abdominal muscles to the glutes, the core plays a crucial role in supporting daily movement and overall posture. Your Mummy MOT assessment will introduce exercises that build strength and tone in the muscles of your core, focusing on the abdominals, pelvic floor, and glutes.

Why is the Mummy MOT Important?

After childbirth, it’s common for women to feel disconnected from their bodies. With the Mummy MOT, the goal is to help you rebuild the strength, balance, and confidence you had before, or better yet, help you reconnect with a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. In addition to postpartum women, those navigating the challenges of peri-menopause and post-menopause can find immense benefits. Hormonal changes during these stages often lead to pelvic floor issues, changes in muscle tone, and discomfort. The Mummy MOT helps address these concerns by creating a bespoke exercise program that supports the body as it transitions through various stages of life.

What Can You Expect from the Process?

The beauty of the Mummy MOT is that it’s not just about short-term fixes. The program is designed to help you feel empowered and restore function so that you can return to your daily activities with confidence. By focusing on rebuilding the muscles of the core, pelvic floor, and glutes, you’ll gradually regain the strength and stability needed for a more comfortable and active life.
