Mom Time Postnatal
A Mom Time Postnatal Consult is a Specialist Postnatal Assessment recommended for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries suitable from 6 weeks post birth. New Moms are often too busy to think about themselves and put others’ needs before their own. The changes to your body during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum can be rapid and dramatic, these changes need to be rehabilitated.

At LWF we believe an individual postnatal assessment is a critical component of postnatal recovery and should be the standard care for all women, ideally 6-8 weeks following childbirth.

FAQ’s
At your first appointment, your pelvic health physiotherapist will take a thorough history of your current situation, your pregnancy +/- birth. Your physio will then do a physical examination, the nature of which will depend on your issue. They will generally start by looking at your posture before checking specific joints or muscles around the pelvis and/or hips. If required, real-time ultrasound or an internal examination may also be done. They will be able to identify what part of the LWF pathway you are on and individualised treatment program will then be developed to bring you to the resolve stage.
Absolutely! Once you have a baby you are forever postnatal. The Mom Time Consult is for all women who have given birth. The sooner you make an appointment, the sooner a plan can be put in place to help your health and wellbeing or even just reassure you.
A pelvic floor examination is mostly done through an internal vaginal assessment. However if you do not feel comfortable to do this your pelvic health therapist can help you in other ways to guide your treatment plan and understanding of the pelvis.
An internal examination involves the physiotherapist assessing the internal structures of the pelvis, including the pelvic floor, deep hip and pelvic muscles, pelvic organs or coccyx bone/joint. This may be vaginal or a rectal examination, where the physiotherapist uses a gloved digit/finger to assess the relevant structures related to your story. An internal examination will only be performed with your full consent, and there are other options (pregnancy or other) for assessment if you prefer.

What Our Clients Say
Would highly recommend LWF Physiotherapy. Such a positive experience. Excellent post natal care received and feel strong and supported as a result. Many thanks to Laura for the excellent individual support and Ann- Marie for the super classes.
I can’t recommend Laura Ward enough. She offers such a safe and comfortable environment to share, often very intimate, details of postpartum health. Physically, I have experienced very noticeable improvements - Laura has achieved this through her expertise but also by educating me and sharing exercises to complete at home. Physically I feel better which in turn has increased my confidence. I would really recommend all new mums to go to Laura - she is a godsend for postpartum health!
Laura and Jon and team provide a top quality service and I have benefitted from postnatal Pilates and checks and physio as I was getting back to running and cycling post baby! What makes them stand out is the friendly, personal style combined with professionalism, and passion for what they do. I was always confident that they were up to date with recent research and best practise and appreciated the data driven approach to rehabilitation. Check them out!
I highly recommend Laura for a postpartum checkup. I have made great progress with my pelvic floor. I have also recovered quite quickly from a knee injury thanks to jon exercise plans. Im glad to report I am now able to get back out running thanks to the LWF team
