Postnatal excercise

In the postnatal exercises you will receive important information about the pelvic floor, its structure and its functions. 

 

With the experience as a midwife and the background knowledge as a pelvic floor expert, we show you various awareness and strengthening exercises for your pelvic floor, deep abdominal and back muscles, which improve your body awareness and support the regression after pregnancy and birth.

 

 

Together with other women you will learn how to tense and release your pelvic floor in a controlled way.

 An upright posture and conscious breathing allow you to perform everyday tasks such as heavy lifting, coughing or sneezing with less strain on your pelvic floor and prevent the risk of incontinence or prolapse.

The course is recommended to start at the earliest after six (natural birth) or eight (caesarean section) weeks.

 

Postpartum exercises are offered in German (Salomé) and English (Sophie).

Language and instructor are noted. The course concept is identical.
