Women's Health

At The Oast we offer a range of services specifically tailored to help improve and address women's health. This includes our Mummy MOT, Women's health sessions including Menopause advice and Scar therapy.

What is a Mummy MOT?

• A comprehensive post-natal check by a qualified therapist
• Assessment of posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles
• Exercises and treatment in your help to return to daily activities and exercises

The Postnatal Check You Deserve

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.

It’s recommended that women have an initial assessment after their 6-8 week GP check, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.
