About The Women’s Wellness Clinic at Belmont House Clinic
Why Have a Mummy MOT?
Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. This can create instability and weak core strength which results in altered transfer load, back pain, pelvic pain, and bladder and bowel weakness. A Mummy MOT® helps women avoid these distressing and often embarrassing symptoms.
The Postnatal Check You Deserve
A Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after birth. And if they’re not, then we can provide you with exercises and treatment to help in your recovery and to return to exercise safely.
Having a baby doesn't mean you have to put up with having live with the physical affects of pregnancy and birth.
Menopause MOT and Coaching
A complete physio-led check up involving a full MSK assessment and advice around syptoms and concerns regarding hormones, diet, bladder and or bowel issues, pelvic floor and giving you a greater understanding around this new chapter in you life.
Pregnancy MOT and Coaching
Pregnancy is a time full of change and we can help make it a bit easier. You may not be able to do the exercise you did before, or maybe you want to continue exercising but unsure how to safely. A Mum-To-Be MOT assess your body throughout pregnancy and helps you cope with the physical demands. As well as a full MSK assessment we advice you on how to prepare for labour and birth, how to manage pregnancy related symptoms such as Sciatica or back pain, and help you to safely exercise with a individualised programme tailored to you.
RESTORE C-Section Scar Therapy
Scar therapy will get you looking, moving and feeling like you again.It is recommended for all ladies that have a scar through a form of abdominal surgery, for example a cesarean section or a hysterectomy.
Scar therapy massage uses advanced techniques of massage, soft tissue therapy, myofascial release and instrument assisted massage therapy to aid release of the adhesions that build up around and under your scar. We target not only the scar but all the abdomen, back, hips and diaphragm allowing you to more freely and feel less restricted within your movement patterns. In addition, we work on correcting your breathing pattern, reconnecting your core and allowing optimal pelvic floor function.
A minimum of 3 to 6 sessions are advised to see the best results. Scar therapy is a journey, it can take time for results, but the wait is worth it, and your body WILL be thankful.
