Postnatal Assessment

Service Description

This appointment is a specialised, patient-focused postnatal assessment designed to support your recovery after childbirth. It provides a much more comprehensive evaluation than the standard GP check-up, ensuring that all aspects of your postnatal health are thoroughly addressed. Based on your individual needs, the assessment may include: -A pelvic floor examination, -Evaluation of diastasis recti (abdominal separation), -Scar tissue assessment, and -Review of any new musculoskeletal concerns, such as back or pelvic pain, that may have arisen post-childbirth. If an internal pelvic floor examination is recommended, we will explain the process in detail to ensure you have all the information needed to make an informed decision. Consent is entirely your choice, and you are free to change your mind at any time, even during the examination. If you would like a chaperone present, please contact the clinic at least 48 hours before your appointment so we can arrange this for you. Should you decide not to proceed with an internal examination, we can still conduct a thorough external assessment to guide your recovery effectively. At McCann Physiotherapy, we are passionate about pelvic health and dedicated to helping you understand and recover from any changes or conditions that may have developed postnatally. It’s never too late to schedule this assessment—no matter how long it’s been since your pregnancy. Prioritise your well-being and book your appointment today.

Our team is dedicated to listening, supporting, and guiding you through your recovery with compassion and expertise.
