why pelvic health matters post-birth

By Bodyset

Motherhood is a milestone unlike any other. It transforms you. It challenges you. It demands strength (physical, emotional, mental), and yet, all too often, new mums are expected to bounce back without proper support.

At Bodyset, we believe every mum deserves expert care and real support, especially in the moments that follow birth. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Busylizzy to offer members:

– Free 15-minute Women’s Health 1-2-1

– 50% off a Women’s Health Assessment, Mummy MOT®, Pregnancy Massage or Scar Therapy – use code BPP50

– 10% off follow-up appointments for the first 6 months – use code BPP10

Because the road to feeling like yourself again starts with knowing where to begin, and we’re here to make that first step easier.

Bodyset: Your body, set for life.

Bodyset is a nationwide physiotherapy movement, founded on one big idea: that physiotherapy should be about more than injury recovery. We’re here to redefine what great care looks like, empowering people to move better, feel stronger, and live without limits.

With over 42 clinics (and counting), a passionate team of expert clinicians, and a wide range of services including physiotherapy, women’s health, massage, and specialist assessments, we’re on a mission to help people reach their full potential, whether they’re training for a marathon or carrying a toddler across the living room.

And for new mums, that journey often begins with understanding and caring for the part of the body that’s taken on the biggest transformation: the pelvic floor.

Why pelvic health matters post-birth

The pelvic floor is the unsung hero of postnatal recovery. It holds everything together, literally and figuratively. It supports your bladder, your bowel, and your uterus. It keeps your core strong, your posture stable, and your body moving with ease. And yet, for many women, it’s often overlooked.

After birth, pelvic floor dysfunction can show up in many ways: urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, pain during sex, lower back pain, or just a general feeling that something isn’t quite right. These symptoms are common, but they’re not something you should put up with. And they’re absolutely treatable.

Too often, women are told to ‘give it time’ or are given a six-week check-up that barely scratches the surface. We think mums deserve better. That’s why we offer specialist Women’s Health services designed to support recovery from the inside out.

Women’s Health services from Bodyset

We offer two key services for mums looking to take charge of their recovery:

Free Women’s Health 1-2-1
This 15-minute consultation is the perfect starting point. It’s a no-pressure chat with one of our expert Women’s Health clinicians. You can ask questions, discuss symptoms, and explore your options. No referral needed. No commitment required.

The Mummy MOT®
Our Mummy MOT® is a 60-minute postnatal assessment led by a specially trained women’s health specialist. It includes:

– A pelvic floor assessment

– A check for diastasis recti (ab separation)

– A full postural screen

– A movement and function review

– A personalised recovery and exercise plan

Whether you’ve had a natural birth or a C-section, the Mummy MOT® is designed to give you a clear picture of how your body is doing, and how to get it working at its best.

Learn more thanks to Ania’s story

Professional runner and new mum Ania turned to Bodyset after struggling with pelvic symptoms post-birth. With the London Marathon on the horizon and her confidence shaken, she needed support… fast. So she booked in for a Mummy MOT.

“I feel strong! My pelvic floor is behaving, and I’m finally starting to feel myself again. My mum life and postpartum fitness journey seems to be in perfect balance and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’m making.”

Ania’s story is one of many. Every day, we support women on their journey back to strength, movement, and confidence. Because motherhood might change your body, but it doesn’t define your limits.
