Therapy during pregnancy
Complaints about pregnancy
The pelvis softens during pregnancy in preparation for childbirth. This can cause complaints in the lower back, pelvis, pubic bone, buttocks, hips. This can also give radiance in the legs. These complaints can hinder you from performing daily activities and enjoying your pregnancy!
Don’t walk too long in pain. That is a shame and can hinder your enjoyment of your pregnancy. You can often get your complaints under control with just a few treatments.
Pelvic therapists at Sens moves your Eindhoven provide exercises before pregnancy and after childbirth. This is to learn to use the pelvic floor, pelvic and back muscles in the correct way again.
Pelvic floor problems
Pelvic floor problems are common during pregnancy and after delivery.
Common problems are:
– Urinary leakage
– Loss of stool
– Prolapse of the bladder or uterus, a ‘heavy feeling from below’
– Frequent urge or frequent urination
– Pelvic floor muscles too tense
– Pain during intercourse
Your pelvic therapist will teach you step by step to regain control of your pelvic floor muscles.
Sleep therapy
Sleeping problems during pregnancy are common. It is more difficult to find a comfortable position, you sleep a lot lighter due to the hormones, frequent urination and pain when turning. Dreaming often and being afraid of everything that is to come is also very common.
Sleep therapy for pregnant women can offer a solution.
You will get started to map the sleep pattern, and then get started with practical tips and exercises.
Breathing therapy for pregnant woman
Due to all the changes (physical, emotional) in your body during pregnancy, your breathing may no longer feel like it did before pregnancy. This may make you breathe less efficiently.
The therapist will work with you to help you breathe relaxed and to bring peace to the body. We can determine and visualize your breathing with special measuring equipment. This allows us to provide very specific advice / exercises to improve your breathing techniques.
Complaints after delivery
Unfortunately, it often happens that complaints arise during or after delivery. Complaints that you can think of are pain in the coccyx, pubis, buttocks, lower back or pelvis. Call us as soon as possible to discuss. We try to give you the best possible advice or come to your home to treat you immediately.
Pregnancy Massage
A massage can help to relieve your complaints, take a moment for yourself and relax.
Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy massage has the following positive effects:
- Relieving pregnancy ailments
- Your muscles become more flexible and therefore less likely to cause pain (cramps, etc.)

What do our clients say about us?
During my first pregnancy I developed severe pain in the pelvis. Because of the technique that Ellen uses, I immediately have ‘more space’ in my pelvis. I can prevent or reduce complaints through the tips.
After giving birth to my second child, I started to leak urine while sneezing. I was quite shocked by this. Because of the pelvic floor training and advice for daily life I have my muscles under control again!
After the birth of our first child, I also needed some relaxation. I heard about a PAPA massage through a friend! A must for all dads!
