Mummy Mot FAQ's

The initial consultation can take up to an hour. It may take longer depending on your situation and symptoms. Follow up times will be discussed with you.

It is recommended that women have an initial assessment after their six to eight weeks GP check, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.

Of course. You can have a Mummy MOT assessment at any time. However please be aware that if you are pregnant, an internal pelvic floor examination will not occur until at least six week following giving birth.

During your assessment we will ask you to perform a series of basic movements like bending forward and squatting, so we can see how you move. Make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothes that are flexible and easy to move around in. Your assessment includes an internal pelvic floor examination and you will be required to remove the bottom half of your clothing. You will be asked to sign a consent form or give a verbal agreement before the examination takes place. We are here to listen, assess and deliver to you a working diagnosis alongside a recovery plan. If you have any questions or additional needs, just call the clinic or email. samantha@phoenixosteopathy.com

Absolutely! The Mummy MOT is for all women who have given birth and still suffering in some way. The sooner you make an appointment, the sooner your symptoms and issues will be alleviated. But it’s never too late to make an appointment.
You are welcome to have the support of a loved one to attend part or all of your examination with you.

It is preferred that you make arrangements for childcare during your appointment. However we understand that this may be difficult and we can make exceptions if leaving them is impossible, just call the clinic or email samantha@phoenixosteopathy.com to discuss your needs.

The pelvic floor is made up of deep and superficial layers that form the hammock found in the base of our pelvis. The pelvic floor is part of our deep core and has many important functions including bladder and bowel control, sexual function and pelvic organ support (e.g. bowel, bladder and uterus.)
