A postnatal pelvic floor assessment, or Mummy MOT, helps women recover safely after childbirth. It evaluates bladder, bowel, pelvic floor strength, and any obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI), providing personalised physiotherapy guidance for optimal recovery.

Menopause can affect the pelvic floor due to falling oestrogen levels, causing bladder leakage, heaviness or prolapse symptoms. Pelvic health physiotherapy and targeted exercises can improve strength, coordination and confidence.

Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy that helps with bladder, bowel, prolapse and pelvic pain issues. Treatment looks at the pelvic floor, breathing, posture and whole-body movement patterns to restore function and confidence such as coughing, sneezing, running or lifting. Evidence-based treatment, including pelvic floor muscle training and whole-body rehabilitation, can improve symptoms.
