This means that following your New Mum MOT Faye has a full understanding of any medical conditions you may have and can assist you to recover from the effects of pregnancy and the delivery of your baby. Faye is fully qualified to help you to reach your full potential in Pilates while understanding the exercises to modify to suit your medical conditions.
New Mum MOT by a specialist women’s health Chartered Physiotherapist
The New mum MOT is a specialist assessment 6 weeks after delivery to assess the strength and function of your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles especially looking for diastasis recti (split abdominal muscles), weak pelvic floor, scar adhesions in the episiotomy or perineal tear scar as well as any other problems with vulvodinia (vaginal pain), pelvic organ prolapse, urinary or faecal incontinence. Following the New Mum MOT you will be given a home programme of exercises specific to you. You are then welcome to sign up for a 5 week course of post-natal Pilates (either mat or reformer – see below). An internal examination may be required but you do not have to have one, although this gives Faye more information about the strength and function of your pelvic floor.
You are welcome to park in the car park, be accompanied by a relative or friend and you can bring your baby with you.
