A physiotherapy appointment at The Mummy Hub is 60 minutes to an hour long. This gives you the time to fully discuss and explore your symptoms and how they are affecting you. Often this may be the first time you have had the opportunity to spend this amount of time with a health professional to do this.
Following this discussion and a physical examination, your physiotherapist will be able to give you bespoke, individualised advice and a treatment plan to help you manage and thrive through your menopause.
Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. Shorts are helpful and you will often be asked to undress, possibly to underwear if you are comfortable. If you are bringing your baby, please bring a mat or chair and lots of toys for them.
If your pregnancy is low risk then it is usually very safe and encouraged to exercise. If you are used to a type of exercise, you can usually continue this in pregnancy but it is not normally recommended to start trying a new type of exercise you have not previously tried e.g. running. The rule of thumb is to exercise to a level where you have enough breath to continue a conversation. If you are in any doubt, please speak to your doctor or midwife.
You can start walking and gentle movements safely soon after birth as long as you are not in any pain. It is recommended to wait until 12 weeks postpartum before starting running. It is always recommended that you work with a fitness professional that is experienced in working with postnatal women. The Mummy MOT will give you bespoke advice regarding returning to your chosen exercise and it is often helpful to attend this appointment first.
No! But it is common. Leaking usually indicates that the pelvic floor muscles are not working optimally. This can be fully assessed by a Mummy MOT or women’s health assessment.
The internal vaginal or rectal assessments are not compulsory and we can still find the cause of your symptoms and plan treatment if you are not comfortable undergoing these procedures. They will be fully explained at your appointment and there will be plenty of time to ask questions. You can also choose to delay the internal until your follow up or bring someone with you if that makes you feel more comfortable.
The internal exam gives a physiotherapist valuable information about how the pelvic floor muscles are working, whether they are weak or overactive, allows for thorough assessment of prolapse, perineal scarring and rectal sphincter function.
This is not an exam that uses a speculum like a smear, it is just the physiotherapist’s finger and therefore is usually comfortable and quick.
