ALO Physio proudly provides specialist Mummy MOT assessments and postnatal physiotherapy in Harley Street, London
Mummy MOT Harley Street
A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment carried out by one of ALO’s chartered female physiotherapists. We recommended it for all women from 6 weeks postpartum, regardless of how long ago they gave birth.
Essential for new mums, it identifies and treats common post-pregnancy issues like diastasis recti, back pain, and incontinence. We run a comprehensive check of your abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, posture and strength.
The benefits include a safe return to exercise, improved core function, reduced pain, and a personalised recovery plan to help you feel strong and confident in your body again.
MOTs Designed Around You
At ALO Physiotherapy, our Mummy MOT is designed around the realities of life after birth, lifting, feeding, carrying, broken sleep, and getting back to feeling like yourself again.
This specialist post-natal physiotherapy assessment looks at how your body is coping with the demands of motherhood, not just how it healed after delivery.
In a private 1 to 1 session with one of our female physios, we assess pelvic floor strength and coordination, abdominal muscle recovery, including diastasis recti, posture, movement, and any symptoms such as pain, weakness, or bladder concerns.
You’ll leave with practical advice, reassurance, and a personalised rehab plan that fits around busy mum life, helping you move with confidence, feel stronger day to day, and return safely to exercise when you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Mummy MOT?
A Mummy MOT is a specialist post natal physiotherapy assessment that checks how your body has recovered after pregnancy and birth. It looks at pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function, posture, movement, and any symptoms such as pain, weakness, or bladder concerns.
When should I have a Mummy MOT?
You can have a Mummy MOT from around 6 weeks post-birth, but it’s never too late to sign up. Many women benefit months or even years after having a baby, especially if symptoms have been ignored or accepted as normal.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment includes a detailed discussion about your birth and symptoms, a physical assessment of posture, core and pelvic floor muscles, and guidance on movement and exercise.
Do I need to be experiencing problems to book?
No. A Mummy MOT is just as valuable, even if you feel mostly fine but want reassurance, guidance, or a safe plan to return to exercise and everyday activities.
Will I need follow up treatment?
Some women only need advice and reassurance, while others benefit from follow up physiotherapy, Pilates based rehab, or pelvic floor treatment. Any recommendations are tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
Can a Mummy MOT help me return to exercise safely?
Yes. A key part of the Mummy MOT is helping you rebuild strength and confidence, with clear guidance on when and how to return to exercise, running, or sport safely.
