Our frequently asked questions about Post-Natal MOTs
A Post-Natal MOT is a comprehensive check-up carried out by a specialist (often a women’s health physiotherapist) after you’ve given birth. It focuses on your physical recovery, especially your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, posture, and overall function.
Anyone who has given birth—vaginally or via C-section—can benefit. Whether you’re a first-time mum or have had multiple children, it’s a helpful way to support your recovery.
You can usually book your MOT from 6 weeks postpartum (or after your GP check-up). However, it’s never too late—even months or years after birth, it can still be valuable.
It typically includes:
- A detailed birth and health history
- Assessment of pelvic floor function
- Abdominal muscle check for diastasis recti
- Posture and movement assessment
- Advice on returning to exercise or daily activities
- Tailored rehabilitation plan
No referral is needed. You can book directly with a qualified post-natal physiotherapist or clinic offering this service.
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows for movement. You may be asked to do gentle exercises or movements as part of the assessment.
Most assessments are gentle and focused on comfort. An internal pelvic floor check is often offered but is entirely optional and always done with your consent.
It depends on your individual needs. Some people only need one session, while others benefit from a short course of follow-up care or rehab exercises.
