The pregnancy and postpartum period is a special process in which the body changes within a short time in terms of posture, the abdominal wall (core) and the pelvic floor. The increased load and hormonal changes can affect low back and back comfort, balance and the way the muscles work.
Conditions such as diastasis recti (separation of the midline of the abdomen) are common during this period. In existing or at-risk situations, physician approval and follow-up are essential.
Topics frequently addressed in this period:
Prenatal and postnatal exercise aims to support the maintenance of safe movement during pregnancy, preparation for birth and postpartum recovery. Within the programme, prenatal yoga and prenatal pilates are offered as separate options.
The work is adapted according to the period the person is in and the result of the assessment; it is carried out together with physician approval and follow-up. The aim is to help the person go through this process with comfort and confidence.
In an uncomplicated pregnancy, and with the physician's approval, exercise can begin at any stage. The programme is adapted to the week of pregnancy, current complaints and past exercise habits.
Exercise is usually resumed after the postnatal period, with the physician's approval; after a caesarean, wound healing is taken into account. Activities such as breathing work, pelvic floor awareness and light walking can start earlier, again with the physician's approval.
Diastasis recti is a widening of the gap between the two abdominal muscles as the connective tissue along the abdominal midline stretches during pregnancy. The assessment measures the gap and the tissue tension by hand and with functional tests, and the programme is planned around these findings.
Prenatal yoga centres on breathing, flexibility and relaxation, whereas prenatal pilates focuses on core control, posture and strength. The two are offered as separate options, and one or both may be planned depending on the stage of pregnancy and the person's goal.
In a free preliminary consultation (15 min) your questions are answered; if appropriate, a detailed assessment (60 min) is planned.
