I discovered the MuTu system after being told, at 37, that i would need the Transvaginal Tape procedure to 'fix' my postnatal stress incontinence (baby was 3 at this point). I had been to the Doc, the physio and gynae - and then watched the procedure on Google (recommendation....don't!!). I decided then that there had to be another way.
MuTu was the only pelvic floor/DR programme that I could find and I signed up. I went back to the Gynae for follow up appointments a few months later and was told that there was significant improvement in my pelvic floor symptoms so I no longer needed the surgery.
At that time I was in the British Army and subsequently decided, as a result of the sh** I went through over that postnatal period, to retrain as a Women's Exercise Specialist, working only with women and focussing on pre/postnatal and pelvic floor issues.
The MuTu system is fabulous to introduce you back to healthy eating and exercise habits...the overall cost is reasonable and the online FB group is accessible and very friendly.
What I would say though, is that an online product, regardless of how well put together and directed, cannot replace the personal approach.
I would recommend and URGE any woman, when PN and concerned about any pelvic floor / DR / hernia issues to see a Doc and to seek help from a WOMEN'S HEALTH Physio. Do not accept a standard physio - they are fabulous but they are not specialists in the female physique...certainly the advice I was given by my generalist physio hindered my DR recovery.
There are not many of them around and you may have to pay privately but that will be the best money spent and should be your starting point. They will give you both an internal and external examination and tell you what is REALLY going on for you - and then give you a bespoke exercise 'prescription' to help you.
Closing DR is not just about exercise and nutrition....it is about correct posture, breathing, movement, alignment, releasing tight muscles before strengthening weak ones..hydration, optimum rest, nutritional supplementation....many of these aspects can only really be optimally assessed in person.
In my research there have been only 2 programmes which I have used and endorse. The first is the MuTu - but with the caveat that you should see a Women's Health Physio and Doc first and the second is the 6 week Foo Foo Fun Club (FFFC) run by Burrell Education.
The FFFC is instructor led and has a significant health questionnaire and consultation as part of the programme to ensure that your Core Restore Coach can really help you to back to optimal strength. The advantage of this programme is the 1-2-1 aspect and the lifelong skills you will gain.
Whatever exercise you choose to do postnatally, please don't do any sit-ups, planks, tyre lifts, v-sits...or any movement that causes your tummies to 'dome' as you sit up. Make sure that whatever you choose is specifically aimed at your stage of life and whoever is teaching you is properly qualified and therefore insured to work with you.
Ultimately - you can get cheaper DVDs and instructors but you only have one body....hernias, stress incontinence, DR etc are all your body's way of saying 'HELP' and a DVD and a FB group can never really come to the rescue in place of a personal service.
Good Luck!
