Postnatal Check Manchester
A specialist postnatal physiotherapy check in Manchester to support your recovery after pregnancy and birth. This assessment looks at your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, bladder symptoms, prolapse symptoms and safe return to exercise.
You do not need a GP referral, and many new mums attend simply to check recovery, tummy separation or bladder symptoms — even if you are months or years after having your baby.
Postnatal check-up (MOT) in Manchester
A postnatal physiotherapy check is a detailed assessment of your pelvic floor and abdominal wall after pregnancy and birth. It helps you understand what is normal, what needs support, and how to return to exercise safely and confidently.
What we assess
- Pelvic floor strength, coordination and relaxation
- Bladder symptoms (leaking, urgency, frequency)
- Prolapse symptoms (heaviness, dragging, bulge)
- Abdominal muscle recovery and tummy separation (diastasis recti)
- C-section scar comfort and mobility (if relevant)
- Breathing, posture and core function
- A safe plan for return to walking, running, gym or sport
Common reasons mums book
- Leaking when coughing, sneezing or exercising
- Heaviness or pressure in the vagina
- Tummy still “doming” or looking pregnant
- Back, hip or pelvic pain after birth
- Pain with intercourse or tampon use
- Wanting reassurance before returning to exercise
When to book
Many mums attend from around 6 weeks after birth, but it is also very common to book months or years later — especially when returning to exercise or if symptoms have started (or returned).
Common postnatal concerns we help with
Many women search using symptoms rather than clinical terms. If any of these sound familiar, a postnatal physiotherapy check can help:
- “Leaking when I cough/sneeze/laugh after baby” (urinary leakage / stress incontinence)
- “I can’t hold my wee / I need the toilet urgently” (urgency / urge incontinence)
- “Heavy feeling / pressure / something feels like it’s coming down” (possible prolapse symptoms)
- “Tummy gap not closing / doming when I sit up” (diastasis recti / tummy gap)
- “Pain or discomfort during intimacy” (postnatal pelvic floor dysfunction)
- “I feel weak in my core / back pain since pregnancy” (core & postural changes)
- “Scared to return to running or gym after birth” (safe return-to-exercise guidance)
Manchester postnatal assessment: We assess pelvic floor health, tummy gap (diastasis recti), bladder and bowel symptoms, posture and provide a safe return to exercise plan.
